I have a question: If I go to Wal Mart on the 16th around 2:00pm you think Ill be ok and be able to get one at midnight? Or should I try and go to a smaller store like Circuit City because my friend went at 5:00am to CC when 360 came out and he got a prem. BTW the walmart and circuit city are in a suburb of pittsburgh if that helps.
