How early to get to Best Buy.

[jimmyn28]

The Best Buy at which I'm purchasing Rock Band only has 8 or 9 of the PS3 bundles. It also opens at 10 AM. What time do you guys think I should get there? I know. I know. I should be able to figure this out on my own, but I really want to know what others are doing, so I can get there earlier. I plan on being there around 6 AM. Haha.

P.S. I live in Atlanta, GA.

I work at Best Buy in Canada and on release days for big games, the majority of the people come 1-2 hours before the store opens. I don't know how it'll be with Rock Band though, but the line-up for Guitar Hero 3 was huge.

It will really depend on your location and the mentality of people in your area.

In mine, 90 minutes ahead of time would get you front of the line at walmart. (At least it did for GH3) In other area with higher population density, it could be hours.

Are you talking about the BB at Town Center? If so...only 8 PS3 bundles, WTF? It's metro ATLANTA, there's 5 MILLION people here...ugh...

Nah, I live downtown, although the Best Buy in Town Center is actually closest to my actual home.

I'm taking a different approach from camping - shotgunning stores. I'm going for the full spread:

- Walmart @ Midnight
- Kmart @ 8 AM
- Toys-r-us @ 9 AM
- BB/CC @ 10 AM

Hopefully ONE of those will have it...
