Talking Camping in the cold!!

It's supposed to be 20degrees or something like that but honestly, I don't care. I plan on getting there between 8 and 10 at night, sitting in my truck with a camping chair, two or three fleece blankets and a full Carhart suit. But i was gonna sit in my truck until one person got in line, then get out and sit it out. I've never camped out for anything......Anyone else got any ideas? I'm in Southeastern Michigan if anyone shares the same woes.

Hah, 20 degrees is a joke here. I like in Alaska, and it will almost surely be in the negatives. So if I had the choice to camp there or here, which one do you think it would be.

Default Camping out.....Brrrrrrrrrrrr!

Hey Mike I am in the Naperville area (Illinois). Just checked the web for the weather and the weather channel...they are saying High 24 - Low 12. It will be a cold one but at least there is no snow or rain forecasted. I will be out a couple...the Naperville BestBuy is busy as Heck...one of the busiest in the area. So I will be to a different one.

Wonder if Bestbuy will pull a fast one and hand them out on Friday morning or Saturday morning to fool people, so they do not have camp outs. From the Bestbuy I went to today they said they will treat it like a launch....they will had out tickets in the morning at 6 or 7 am.

I'm near Seattle and it's been in the middle 20s at night. Fortunately I finally got an online order today from CircuitCity. So no camping, just a warm bed and dreams of my 360 soon to be delivered.

Exclamation thx for the update chitown

I do have one, and i mean only one inside connection at best buy so heed my warning!!! He said they are going to release like ten or twenty sunday and then like the rest on tuesday or something like that. I dont see why, but whatthehell ever. So needless to say, I wont be camping out at that one, but I can use that one as a back up plan.

Just talked with my Best Buy. They said that they ARE getting them, but she didn't know how many they would be getting, but guaranteed me there would be some. This is in Toledo, Ohio. Really looking forward to spending the night in the 15* weather. My roommate is gonna go with me and we'll buy 2, one to sell on e-bay and one so we can have one

this is amazing...I don't even remember a system launch like this. People camping out for the first day is crazy, but basically a month later its happening AGAIN. Well good luck to each and everyone of you, and stay warm...lol. I live in Wisconsin and it was freezing the morning I got mine
