Target 360 Launch Plans

I saw an interesting post over at Kotaku about how Target is going to handle the 360 launch. If you haven't pre-ordered a system and would like to get one the first day, you might find this useful. This is from an anonymous employee at a Target Superstore (although the information seems entirely plausible):
On Nov. 22:
Every store will print up tickets representing the number of 360’s and core systems they have in stock. They are also supposed to print a large sign informing customers that the store has sold out and keep it on hand.


Starting at 6:00 a.m., team members (employees) are supposed to go out and hand out tickets to people in line on a first come first serve basis. If all the tickets are not handed out on the first trip, they will go out every 15 minutes until there are no more left.

That seems reasonable. Full link here:
