The hunt for the XBox… A Black Friday story…

Soooo, we get the bright idea on Black Friday that we want an XBox360… We have money, why not… Eventhough it’s rent and food money ;)…

So, Walter gets down here (From Vancouver, WA (Approx 30-35mi)) at about 10pm… We go to Walmart, they’re out. We go to Fred Meyers as we await sam to return a game (we bought the wrong version of it, which cost twice as much), they’re out… We go to toys r us, they’re closed… All in all, we hit every store on 82nd that was open in about 20 minutes… All out…

Long story short… We ended up in Camas, WA (Approx 30-35mi or 25mi from Walter’s house in the opposite direction)… The Walmart there had 2, core machines… the old ones… Old as in no HDMI, no “new chips”, no “additional heatsync’s”… So lets just hope we don’t burn out or I’ll have ot send it in for service…

Well, I have the XBox now… Halo is much more fun when I don’t have to wait for Walter to have to come over with his XBox lol… Made loads of new acquaintances :).
