According to local news reports, hundreds of people camped outside a discount store in San Marcos, California hoping to buy 8G iPod nanos for $0.99 cents.
Matt Roberts told TV station San Diego 6 he waited 26 hours to be the first of the lucky nine customers who got the device at a $148 discount as part of grand opening celebration for a 99¢ Only Store.
The eight guys behind him eyed each other for stamina; if none dropped out after the overnight vigil, the rest of the folks in the parking lot got scooters, DVDs and computer mice for a buck.
If you’ve got the staying power and are short on cash, check out the openings of 99¢ Only Stores or follow their Twitter feed, they’ve been running the iPod scheme to celebrate new stores for months now.
Wonder if people would do that for a Zune…
