Xbox 360 launch -- Midtown style

Gaming Steve didn't let cold rains prevent him from saddling up and heading to Midtown Manhattan to witness what was sure to be one of the most chaotic launch sites not taking place in a desert. The local Best Buy closed its doors at 6:00pm yesterday to prepare for its midnight opening, but the crowds starting gathering well before. Peter Gonzalez, first in line, snagged his spot early Sunday afternoon—he hadn't slept in over 36 hours. That's heart.
