Just got back from visiting every major retailer on South Hill in Puyallup, WA this morning and they were all sold out as soon as they opened. Some opened earlier than their posted time like Best Buy that said they’d open one hour early (9am instead of 10am) and actually opened like 8:45am.

Last night around 6pm PST the Best Buy had some 40 people already waiting outside, fully prepared to camp out. This morning at 8:30, some 30 minutes before the opening there was a line of 60-70 people outside.

Wal-Mart
Rumour is they had 15 units and handed out the “golden tickets” way early. They were sold out before anybody could even wait in line. Didn’t see any campers.

Best Buy
Sold out — the word is they had 60 total units and overnight campers.

Target
Sold out — no idea how many units they had, unknown on campers.

Costco
Opens one hour early for business executive members, but the line outside was at least 50 people. Not sure if any of them were overnight campers or not.

Wonder if somebody has thrown together a program to keep track of where to buy an Xbox 360? I’ll have to hunt around. That might be a cool mapping program to throw together. Sort of like Gasbuddy, it could be Xbox360Buddy.
