i got the cheese!
Everybody seems to have a XBOX 360 story these days. Now, I have my own. I recently ended up with a Best Buy gift card that I didn't know what to do with. My friend refused the five gift ideas I had and I was running out of days and ideas.
So, I entered the XBOX craze. I didn't realize how popular the XBOX search had become until all the rss feeds started to pop up. I only recently heard about the craziness over this past weekend at Best Buy. Through the Internet grapevine, I heard that there might be more shipments and this was confirmed by the Best Buy's staff. So, once I had the information, my business sense took over. So, I took a guess at the date that Best Buy would ship the product and therefore, when it would have the product available at the stores.
This morning, I got to Best Buy and there were already four people in line at 8AM. I stood there amazed at the number of people standing in front of Best Buy and Target. Not many but much more than I expected. Hacking and coughing, I didn't have to wait long for my prize.
I felt like I was in a mouse maze just like in the book, Who moved my Cheese. There is a strange gratification from reaching the cheese. I got the cheese!
This week, I have made about 4 trips to Best Buy and I don't think I'm on my last.
I'm ahead of the news! And, there's at least 20% premium on the original price. Interesting ideas behind the XBox shortage.
So, Sudoku is the game somebody was talking to me about this weekend.
