Randy Middleton was a man on a mission.
He had a list of electronic equipment he wanted for his family, and he wasn?t going to take no for an answer.
?Last year, when I went to the sale, the line was so big, I didn?t even go,? the Pensacola father of three said. ?This year, I decided I was going to beat the line.?
And he did. Middleton was the first in line at Best Buy in Pensacola for Black Friday shopping. In fact, he spent Wednesday night and all day Thursday on the sidewalk at Cordova Mall to be the first customer let in to at 5 a.m. today.
?My family had Thanksgiving, and they brought me food,? he said. ?This was the first time I?ve done this. Normally, my wife gets up the day after Thanksgiving and goes out with her mom and does all the shopping.?
His booty: an Xbox 360, a computer and a couple wireless headsets, among other loot.
Middleton employed other electronic equipment to keep busy during his 36-hour wait.
?As far as entertainment, I utilized a portable DVD player, and, of course, the iPod,? he said. ?And with the other people who were camping out, there was entertainment throughout the day.?
Seriously.. he waited to long and the xbox360 has been out for 3 yrs now and im sure hes able to find one anywhere, but there wasnt a price drop for em on black fridays.
