Just the word trypophobe and the idea of it gives me the heebeegeebees. But if no one ever mentions it, I’m fine. So shut up Kotaku!
Yeah I bet it’s nice but it’s 3200 miles away from me :) I was talking about Everett, MA!
Lynnwood Costco saved me from having to trek down to Shoreline or sigh trek up to Everett. But the Maple Road/Alderwood Mall Boulevard intersection is a traffic nightmare at rush hour, due to the city putting in another stoplight 100 feet further down on 30th Place W, when they should have put in a roundabout.
But what most people don’t realize is you just need to turn right at 182nd St SW, just right after the Keg. It will take you to Costco from the other side, thus bypassing one of the worst chokepoints in Snohomish County.

So much more traffic though. We go North to Mt. Vernon…no one there at night an hour before they close.

Used to hit Alderwood Mall for the REI and Apple Store…since the Costco is there, no more.
I’m gonna try to bag one at Walmart too in 5 mins. If I get it, I can give the Costco one to my son for Christmas.

Haha, whoops! Hope your area still has the $5 chickens!
And yeah, Lynnwood’s roads during rush / holiday hours are nightmarish. I think it’s a conspiracy by the Alderwood Area Retail Conglomerate to get people to spend more time in the area and therefore in the stores.
Well I got one in my cart at Walmart, and then I lost it because I couldn’t type in my credit card number fast enough.
Hah… it sorta reminds me of one of my favorite sports commercials. The Seattle Sounders did a commercial talking about how much they love Portland!

I got an order in at Costco, but with no indication on when it’ll ship.
I also just tried ordering from Wal-Mart and it was sold out before I checked out.
Rookie mistake. Always have a card on file already at the place you’re trying to order where time is of the essence!
I did! I had to type in the 3 digit code.
Me, too! I’m actually relatively near the FedEx processing facility in Georgetown. Come here first!
Children, please. We don’t need updates every minute.

Hey mine’s on the truck too!
So at 9:59AM local I’m thinking here I’m gonna be out of being apart of console launch. No luck trying any previous pre-ordering. Got some good Karma finally and was fast enough clicking when Walmart.com orders went up. Less than an hour later and I’m officially apart of the Next Gen “Cool kids crowd”.
In case anyone is having problems signing in, the Xbox Live Core service is experiencing an issue. Some sites have started to report this.
My box is alternating between telling me there is no access to internet (but settings shows my wifi is connected), or just the general connection error.
Launch day fumbles will never go away!
