Xbox360 Launch Canada... Braving the Elements
>> HSDEMONZ personal log.. (I swear to god I'm not a trekkie)
I was just outside with some of these guys an hour ago.. minutes before midnight on November 21st here in Toronto at the local Best Buy. Some of these guys have been tenting since late Saturday to ensure they get some of the Xbox360 unit that the store will put on sale at 8am Tuesday Morning. (roughly 8 hours from now.. so they still got a long night ahead..)
As you can see it's a motley crew of people, all seemingly with the same goal, to acquire the coveted game console. Braving below zero Celsius temperatures, winds, and darkness. Hopefully all of them will find the evening worth the effort and the sacrifice. Bottle of coke, potato chip bags, music, polite conversation amongst strangers all seem to help them pass the time.
3 hours earlier I had passed them, and their numbers were half what I saw at the midnight photo session. (I would have stayed longer but I already spent far too much time eating Sushi) I can only imagine their number will continue to multiply in the darkness and cold of the cold Canadian night.
To all those who have already gotten or are getting a 360 in the coming week.. congratulations. The rest of us.. me included.. will wait for calmer times, and more plentiful shipments. Peace.
