The last few pictures are the aftermath of waiting for 12 hours. And the pic with all of us. Thats the surviors, the ones who lasted the whole 12, and got the "Golden Ticket" as we called it. I sold my ticket, for 450. I should have held out for more, but whatever. The ticket gives you the right to buy the xbox, for full price.

I picked mine up with no intention of making a profit and getting it later. I opened it up, hooked it up, and played all night.

Just not right if you ask me. All those who braved it all night, and didn't get it because they were to far back in line, only to end up getting screwed by those trying to make a profit. I know I would have been madd as hell.

I'm surprised that the lines weren't full of homeless people just looking to make a quick buck. The ticket brokers do it all the time, stocking the lines with the homeless. They're used to the sleeping on the ground and they do it for a few bucks. And the rest of world gets the shaft.

I applaud TTTM2 for working out a way to (eventually) get his XB360 for free! $450/12 hours is pretty good pay for sitting in a line!

Thanks Dave! Hmm, homeless people, might have to do that come PS3 time! JK
