What were the lines like for the PS3 at Fry's Electronics?

I drove by at like 11pm on wed night, and the manager and employees had two groups of people huddled up.

One group of 48 was the "first in line guaranteed a bundle" group.

and me and my gf walked to the other group of about 15 which was "waiting list"

Basically they didnt want any lines, they took names and id's and phone numbers of the two groups.

the 48 people have one hour 8am-9am friday morning to pick up and pay for the bundle. Once 9am hits, they will start calling the list and the original 48 people are bumped to the bottom of the list.

Alot of people in line didnt know about the $1079 or whatever price tag so Im pretty sure some people wont show up. So if at 9am, there is 10 units unsold, they will call the first 10 on the waiting list and they have an hour and they will repeat this until all are sold.

so i guess i have somewhat of a chance to get one, not bad for not waiting at all and just showing up at the right time.
