It's going to be held in Palmdale, California

It's like the "pre-release party"

Anyone who attends will beable to play the 360, and buy it on the 20th..

I'm on the east coast, so I doubt I will beable to go with only a week to prepare. I have 2 tickets coming, so if someone wants to pay for my plane ride... You can go. lol Highly doubtful iknow..

I can't sell the tickets either, they will check for id when you get there, and I have to be with my guest..

Atleast I'll have the wristbands..

That really sucks you can't sell them. I'm sure you could make some serious money on eBay with those if you could.

How much are tickets? 200$ for a roundtrip? They probaly do not offer a hotel so add 150$ a nite, so 800$ or so. Not too bad you can make the money right now by ebaying the xbox you are going to buy there. And may even come out ahead.

If I could sell them I definately would, but it says to have id, and the guest must be with me with id stating they are over 18 also. Who knows..

I will know when the wristbands get here, and what info I need to show.

Well hook it up, I got 2 tickets.. That means 2 360's reserved. With games and accessories.. Pm me if you think you can do it, I don't have it in me right now to put it up on ebay .. I would be willing to go for the hell of it though.

I already have a 360 coming.

Sell them and take the cash. Whoever buys will get in if they're not resourceful.

...And if they're not resourceful, chances are they won't be able to get the cash back from you. lol
