I was writing this really long blog about the days leading up to launch, how I had a preorder but then used it to buy Burnout Revenge (Great Decicion since EB got hardly any 360s at launch) How on the day before launch I still had no money or hopes of getting a system, unitll my boss got all siked out over Tiger Woods and offered to lend me the money to get a 360. Anyone who is reading this , (all 2 people) already know most of this. Anyway. 

Wal-Mart on Nov.21st I waited in line for 9 hours.  All day we heard so many different stories about how many premiums there were vs. cores.  Some said Two P and 10 C.  I thought this had to be backwards since Microsoft said they would push more Ps than Cs.  Well as it turns out around 11 pm they told us there were only 12 systems and all cores.  WTF???? no hard drives eithor.  Well I was pissed but looking around at all the sad faces of people with no hopes of getting a system at all I decided it was now or never,.  I had to get it TONIGHT. 

The rest is gaming history. Oh and here is a link to a spot on the Daily Show about the 360 Launch.
