Ok..
Keep preorder.
Buy one from Best Buy
Wait for some spoiled brat to come out with their new one.
Hit them and their parents over the heads.
Take 360
Dispose of the bodies
Buy the preorder
Sell 2 of them.

Don't expect to drive up at 6am being all confident about the situation. If you live in a heavily populated area, you have to figure 10pm or 11 at the latest.
I live in a town of 20,000 ... We have Walmarts, Targets, Bestbuys, Circuit Citys all in the area ... but still, Target had a line about 18 people deep by 11pm.
Also remember the mob mentality .. the second those doors open, people will cut, shove, and push their way to get what they want. Hopefully Best Buy will have some sort of system in place to handle those bastards.
$400 may be alot ... but this is the first new console since 2001 ... this has been a long wait. Combo that with the Thanksgiving holiday and Xmas ... people are in the spending mood.

I worked retail for Structure at the time. During a late night close, I'm driving home and listening to the radio. Every station is talking about the PS2 lanuch the next morning :blah: ... I buy into the hype and drive straight to Target.
After working a 10 hour shift .. I park my ass in line and sat ... and sat ... and sat. I think I talked on the phone for 2 hours ... that was about it. I went totally unprepared.
Nov 22 in Philly will be cold as shit. You'll need to bundle up.
But remember, this is all hype right now. there could be 400 360's in stock. No eBay profit ... no shortage.
There could be 25 360's in stock. eBay profits of $400 ... extreme shortage for the must have Xmas gift.
