| Eager video game fans waiting in line to pick up their 360 at a Wal-Mart Superstore found themselves caught up in a scuffle, as "all hell broke loose" following the manager's attempts to bring order to chaos. A 300-strong crowd had amassed, patiently waiting for Xbox360 to launch 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. "That's when all hell broke loose," said Ben DiSabatino IV, a 23-year-old Bear, Del., resident, who had been waiting in line since 4 p.m. It was like a mosh pit," 30-year-old Michael Pearman of Newark, Del., told the Cecil Whig. Sounds awesome - new games consoles and a bit of mosh action! Some customers were knocked down and trampled, though there were no serious injuries, said Elkton Police Lt. Lawrence Waldridge. An Elkton police officer assigned to monitor the crowd called for backup. In all, it took more than 10 officers from Elkton, the state police and the sheriff's office to restore peace. To calm everyone down and restore order, they decided to announce that no Xbox 360s would be sold that night. Gee, that would really end my bloodlust. To make things even more frustrating, Xbox 360 consoles were reported to have been sold later that night. Another launch hour sob story. Source: MSNBC |
