w00t w00t! i got my wii yesterday. congrats to me, and everyone else who grabbed a console.
my camp-out experience was a rather good one. no problems whatsoever... this was a very good first camp out for me. i was second in line, and my cousin was first. we were there since noon on the 18th, and by 3 o clock, the managers of Target, the staff, and the security knew exactly what we were doing. haha, we even got to learn the security guard who would be there sunday morning's name. =D
we've heard about the violence over ps3's and we really didnt want something like that to happen again. so we took damage control... made a list, discussed exactly what was going to happen w/ the manager, and spread the word to everyone. everything was calm and cool.
target was supposed to open at 8.00 AM, but they let us in at 7.30 AM.
the manager came out, explained exactly what was going to happen, and we got started right away. He passed out cards, one per buyer, one for every wii. there were 60 wii's with 70+ people. then they escorted 15 ticket holders to the electronics department. they had a card, and a guy went around telling us what we wanter, the list showed the games, controllers, and accessories.then they gave us the card, we took it to the register, they got us what was on the list. and we exchanged the ticket for the wii. simple and controlled.
and during the escort, i was sooooo hyped up... mann... it was awesome... will i ever camp out again? hell yeah... was it worth it? ... ...i dont have a smile on my face for nothing... =D
