GTA Canadians

[Admiralwiggin]

anyone interested in treking down to the states to seek out copies of Rockband?

[SteppinRazor]

I'm a little too far from the GTA myself, and more importantly far too busy with a major critical book review to leave town myself.

But I love the idea of a group of Canadian RB fans getting a van (or something) and crossing the boarder as a group seeking RB units.

More power to you if you can get it to work. I think you'll be in for some fierce shopping this weekend though, they go crazy for the whole Black Friday deal. After Friday, it might be harder to find a copy in stores.

But, with appropriately set expectations, and an agreed upon priority system if you find fewer units than group members (driver/car owner gets first dibs IMO) you should do it for the chance at epic Canadian win.

[Admiralwiggin]

of course they'd be a system and if we couldn't get it organized by Friday there would be no point ideally a Very early morning incursion across the border on Friday would be the best bet as they stores that were holding stock would have it out IE: Best Buy and its 5 am opening

haha this is a mission and a half, its like coming to canada on boxing day. If your doing this i advise you leave at like midnight the night before, is best buy is opening at 5 ppl will start going in the early hours of the morning. The line will be massive unless you get their atleast 2-3 hours before.

Make sure they'll actually have copies too. Nothing worse than fairing the line only to find out they dont have any.

[SteppinRazor]

To save any confused American's from needing to ask, GTA, in this case, is Greater-Toronto Area.

Just thought I'd mention that.

[Admiralwiggin]

oh of course been to the last 6 boxing days here in Canada i know the mentality and the key is layers and coffee and of course something to keep yea busy, the advise is greatly appreciated though but i dont see anyone else offering to step forward to partake in the epic quest

[Scynthe]

I'm waiting until the official canadian launch so I don't have to worry about warranty woes from having a US model. Otherwise I would be tempted to go.

[Admiralwiggin]

I hear no worries about that warranty issues are many but i do here harmonix is working on that. but then again harmonix also said the release date for Canada was the 20th of December all along... but back on topic

haha ye i braved a boxing day line at wal mart last year to get my xbox 360 for $399 (it sold for $499 then). I got there early so i was like 10th in line but by the time doors open there musta been 500 ppl, i literally sprnted to the electroics sections, lol.

And that wal mart line was nothing, i saw thousands at future shop and best buy at like 5 am

[foolosophy]

I would love to but I know my mom wouldn't even consider the thought of it. Good luck on the journey and if you happen to score some extras, tell me ;)

[sushi111]

I live 15 minutes away from the border, but my lolely mother wont take me under any circumstance.

Damn my laziness to get my liscence.

[Scynthe]

Yeah I saw some of those BB Boxing Day lines around here. I was going to go for opening too because I didn't think there would be a line. (Silly Me!) All i wanted was some recordable DVDs they had on sale too lol. The lineup was huuuge though. Atleast 300 people minimum and if I remember it was soggy out too.

[Admiralwiggin]

aye well line can be combated with preparedness's like getting their real early but as it stands...

1. we need a driver
2. more people interested who can go
3.people willing to abide by the driver first then everyone else for themselves rule.

Do to a lets say change in my jobs definition the ability for me as well to afford a car at this time is not plausable

[Admiralwiggin]

anyone anyone bueller?
