No, I did not get one, just thought the title would be appropriate.

I live in Columbus OH, and work nights, I got off work at 3am and checked a few places and this is what I found.

EB/Gamestop had midnight madness sales, all stock gone and stores closed until normal business hours.(I pass 4 of them on my way home so I checked all of them)

Circuit City had 6 units 10+ people in line camping.

Best Buy had about 20-30 tents wrapped around the building along with a 30 foot RV parked "in line" with the tents. According to their ad and the website each store got 6 of the 20 gig units, and 20 of the 60 gig units.

Target had a small tent city in front consisting of about 15+ people, store had 8 units.

Meijer had a midnight madness sale, all stock gone.

So that was my journey around my end of town this morning, was anyone here able to get their hands on one and able to give us a first impression of the hardware and or games. One of the early reports coming out was that the system, contrary to what Sony is advertising, will not, put out in 1080i, so it downshifts if you will into 480 or 720 on your HDTV. Also hearing reports of the system having problems playing a lot of older PS2 games, which the system is supposed to handle with no problems since they included the PS2 emotion engine chip system, whereas the xbox 360 backwards compatibility relies on a software emulation system to play older xbox v.1 games.
