I would have never of guessed that I would have waited in line for this especially since I didn't know these were coming out.
But seeing these go for a lot more than they are worth I gave it a shot!
10 hours and 38 degrees of cold a$$ weather, I have 4.



This whole event was crazy and I met all kinds of different people in line.
I do have to admit though, it was entertaining!

How much you get them for? Did they charge retail or did they put a fee on top of that

Sorry, I have to make fun of people who camp out for this one. The launch titles don't look like anything to die for.

I've read rumors that Microsoft is deliberately limiting the first shipment quantities, to deliberately drive second-hand prices up and provoke this frenzy. It's all about having the buzz... Some ebay bids are over $2500. Dunno if any that much are legit though. f20kills, I'm rather suprised the store let you buy four. Report back when you had them sold - I'm curious what the actual market price is on them now.
