I went to best buy about 15 minutues after it opened and 2 my shock the whole parking lot was full. I go to that location all the time and it's never that full that early in the day. I went to the gaming section like I normally do and to my surprise there was this big line going around the whole gaming section. There were probably around 50-75 people there if I had to guess. Not quite 100 people. I asked the worker at the front of the line what are these people waiting for,with what looked like some big paper ticket thing. He said they were actually getting some ps4's and xboxone's in today. It puzzled me that all those people would even know about such a thing. It was probably some add that I never saw are it had to do with there reward zone program. I've stated several times that I don't plan on jumping 2 next gen,until the middle of next year,but I just thought it was amusing watching all those people go crazy for these systems. this holiday season sony and microsoft will sell as many systems as they can ship,because demand is that high. I've seen it first hand. Does anyone else have any other interesting retail stories that they can share? Doesn't matter were your from.

I was at a best buy a few days ago. Completely sold out of vitas. Also a gamestop I went to was sold out of them too. I think it's a sign of recovery guys!

Expected a spurge thread
