Someone I know from Los Angeles PM'd me wishing me well as they're leaving to get in line at @ BB now.
BB doesn't open for another 15.5 hours.
Dayum!

The following took place Thursday 11/23/2006 between 9PM-11:30 PM PST.
CompUSA - we got there around 8:50 PM while it was raining and stood in line for a whopping 10 minutes. There were already over 350 people in line and once the doors opened everyone was very orderly. That's when the real fun begins. My primary mission was to buy the Linksys wireless router and FAR bluetooth headset, that's it. When we entered the store I made the mistake of turning left instead of right. Eventually I discovered the bluetooth headsets sold out in right after the doors opened, if only I had turned right instead of left. But I did score a Linksys wireless router for $19.99, soaked in the mayhem and chaos then made a beeline to the cashier. We were done and out of the store by 9:30 PM which is pretty impressive.
Toys R Us - none
Target - no one was waiting in line. They were all waiting in their warm dry cars and I don't blame them. Relax there were only 3 cars in the entire parking lot.
Linens-N-Things - none
Circuit City - around 8 people
Wal-Mart 1 - around 4 people
Wal-Mart 2 - none
Best Buy - The first person got in line at 2:30 PM and the others started ariving around 4:00PM. When I arrived at 11:20 PM there were over 100 people in line.
If you're on the west coast and haven't left yet. It's pretty safe to assume your BB is already packed. Try Wal-Mart then Circuit City.
I think the lines will start filling up around 1AM and will go into full throttle between AM - 3:00 AM.
