Shopping 'Hell' Breaks Loose, Linked to Xbox 360

I think I'd be pissed off, though, if I had went to all that trouble :-) and found out that when I got it home, there were some "problems"....

An AP newswire article, via USA Today, reports that:

Shoppers waiting in line for the new Xbox 360 video game player scuffled outside a Wal-Mart Supercenter when a manager improvised rules for who would get the game first. It took more than 10 police officers to restore order, though no one was arrested.

A crowd of about 300 people were waiting late Monday for the game to go on sale at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday. Some of them had waited 12 hours when a night manager said the Xboxes would be sold on a first-come, first-served basis, instead of using a number system devised by customers.
