Still Haven't Preordered An Xbox One? Time To Start Planning!

By -
Well, Amazon reopened preorders for the Day One system, and within minutes they were all gone. So, what do you do if want a system on day 1 but haven't preordered? Do not just blindly show up at a location before Midnight, that may blow up in your face.

Call around or go and ask in store.

My local Wal-Mart, in a small town, has an extra 10 systems for sale, but I was told to show up Thursday morning before 9am as they will hand out tickets for midnight. If you are there, then you get your system. If not, the first person in line will get it.

Similar to the last few console releases, stores "should" get extra stock. Some will not divulge how many, some will. The Best Buy I was at for the Xbox 360 launch had roughly 30 extra AFTER the midnight release for sale that morning.  We were not made aware of that number until 5am. Originally I was #42 at 1am. By 3am I was #36. At 5am, I was #28!

So stick to your guns until they tell you there are none left for sale.

So call, ask, and plan to waste a lot of time waiting.

Greeting Geeks, In case you haven't checked it out yet, Nickelodeon has released their new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series. As a general disclaimer: THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MICHAEL BAY'S TURTLES PROJECT . To put it simply, it's Teen Titans meets Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003). To put it more complexly...well...you'll have to hit the jump for that.

Updated: Question: Should A Cosplayer Be Kicked Out Of PAX East For Doing Her Job?

By -

Day 1 Left, Day 2 Right Just to be clear, Jessica Nigri was asked to leave and change, she was allowed back in... But on day 1 of PAX east, she went dressed as Lollipop Chainsaw's star, Juliet Starling, without issue. Day 2 she went dressed as the same character in one of the multiple alt costumes and asked to leave to change. She returned in the cheerleader uniform from day 1 she was asked to change again, cover up, or leave entirely! Did I mention she was at the WB Games booth and is the official character model for the game? So what's the point of this post? Most of the Grotto staff come from a place in the US where people can go grocery shopping wearing A LOT less than what Nigri had on! Now if she were dressed in one of the alternate costumes from Dead or Alive Extreme Beach Volleyball, then I can understand the issue. What do you guys think? Let us know in the comments below or on Google+ and after the break, see Nigri's Day 3 costume! Updated 4/9/2012: Added
