Arrived at Best Buy at the Inner Harbor in Baltimore at about 9:35pm with tech writer, Sun contributing writer and friend Rasheim Freeman we ended up being numbers 14 & 15. Yes, 9:30pm the day before the new XBOX 360 goes on sale and we were still numbered in the teens. The person in the front of the line had been there since 5:30pm. He basically walked over as soon as he got off from his job at 5p. I kow this sounds crazy that your boy Mario would hang out overnight in front of Best Buy til the next morning at 9am when the store would open but I wasn't the only one crazy enough to do it. I had people calling my cell phone giving me reports for the numbers of folks in lines around the city. At 10pm I heard the Towson store had well over 80 ppl, White Marsh had 70+, Security had over 100.
