Vox populi: Xbox 360 campers explain themselves

By Vladimir Cole

Tom Biro of AdJab was out touring launch lines yesterday when he asked people standing in line at a Target Greatland in northern New Jersey the following question:

"Why are you out here tonight, braving this horrible weather, just to get an Xbox 360?"

Mike – college student: ?I?m waiting outside of target greatland in the rain, for xbox 360, gonna wait about
7 more hours, and basically it?s because I?m addicted to Madden, and it looks completely insane on that system,
the graphics, gameplay. I?m just gonna sit out here, and then probably just play it until I can?t play it
anymore. Gonna get one game, and then play the shit out of it.?

Anthony – corrections officer – ?I?m just out here waiting, pretty cold, hanging out, good people, just
can?t wait to get the new system.?

Chris – ?I?m out here because two of my friends are out here, and if they get one and I don?t, then there?s
gonna be a problem??

Louis – college student – ?The reason I?m here is because Gamestop didn?t have enough, and I really wanted
the system the first day. Waiting 13 hours, out in the rain, 40-degree weather, but it?s all good.?

Jay – 8th grade math teacher – ?I?m here for two reasons – one, to prove that common coral, attached with
small wood screws to a small child?s head would make that child look like a small reindeer, and secondly
because by my being here, I know that one less child is gonna have a good Christmas.?
