[buster_broon]

Or were dumped on by Game Online thank-you-very-much after ordering on August 18th (and only being informed of a no-go one fortnight ago).

I queued for ELEVEN hours today at Asda and have just arrived home with my Premium pack ;-)

11 fecking hours - thats dedication, got to Gamestation at 23:40

[EvilBoris]

You are indeed insane.
That is real dedication, and you have learnt the hard way never to shop in game.

So everything is good

Just been to Tesco Extra in Irvine where I was informed that they only received 8 consoles (8!!!)and the 8 people sitting in the middle of the electrical department had a number for each one and had been waiting since 4pm this afternoon!

Tried Asda Kilmarnock who simply had a hand written sign saying they received NO 360s at all!

[Bru]

11 hours! WTF. A true 360 trooper. Enjoy it.

Hehehe.... I will, especially as I got the last one in the store (ticket number 5) when I arrived there at 1pm. For now though (and I know this may sound criminal) BED BECKONS! Got a full day booked off work tomorrow.

I just hope the bl@@dy thing works or I'll cry.

As an aside.... I'd just like to say, thank the HEAVENS for Mario Kart DS and WiFi linkup play.... It kept at least two of us sane as the seconds ticked slowly on by.

-tips his hat to that old Miyamoto touch-

Happy gaming and good luck guys!

bloody hell, I've only just got back in (1:30AM) and game is only 10 mins away! I got there at around 11:30 and the shop was rammed. There were a couple of hundred people there. Luckily when the guy came around with the raffle tickets for you place in the queue I was only 49th. Ended up getting the manpack with 7 games for ?441 (includes some gift vouchers and a couple of trade ins).

[robrymond]

Princess STreet store had about 50 people in max. I was 10th ish in the queue.

[MonkeyWrench]

As I was 49th in the queue and there were another 20 or so people behind me with raffle tickets (I was stood next to the guy who got number 70), plus all the people that brought friends along that equates to a little more than 50 people. You probably walked past me, I was the guy with Steel Battalion in a bin bag at my feet

[ACKman]

Just back from Manchester. About 100 waiting. Some people dissapionted.

Got Mine, but then I pre-ordered as soon as.

Sombody behind me counted himself as 77 but that did include friends people had brought

[hoathenfold]

I just driven past PC world on the way home from picking up my 360 and there is a tent piched up outside on the concrete!!!!!!!! Someone REALLY wants one!!!!
