If I could only post one picture that could capture the essence of the Zero Hour Event, this would be it.

Their exuberance and sheer joy was so infections others near by (man on right) just had to join in the picture taking.

Upon arrival, you are given a Zero Hour sweatshirt and a memory card that you could give to this gentleman.

He will help you set up an Xbox Live account and Gamertag if you don't have one and then store it to your memory card for use inside.
Recognize the Origen Tree, there are even a couple of bunnies hiding around the trunk.

That's why your here baby. Check out the custom Zero Hour Faceplate all attendees will be getting.

Who needs a hotel.

As Zero Hour (9pm EST) draws closer a mile long line of beanbag chairs emerges.

The line winds its way from one end to the other and then wraps back!

Just before the 360 countdown begins a little chat with the first X360 recipients.

The bell tolls as the Best Buy trucks emerge through the massive hanger doors.

Police escort no less.

Once again he first X360 recipients who drove 36 hours non stop from Cinetopia Mississippi.

Kudos to Microsoft and Best Buy, they did a fantastic job on putting on an event of near epic scale.
