Ryan works at a Target somewhere in the United States (we're keeping his Super Target store location a secret for his protection). Ryan emailed us with a detailed breakdown of how Target was going to be handling the Xbox 360 sales.
Some snippets from the email after the jump.

Update: This is a call to other retailers, GameStop, EB, Kohl's, Kmart, Wal-Mart, Circuit City, Amazon, whoever, we want to hear from you about how your retail outlet is going to be handling the customer zerg for the Xbox 360. Send us your tactics at tips@kotaku.com.

"Consoles are under a strict Nov. 22 street date and they mention that any failure to adhere to this will result in Target losing all future shipments."

"The average store can expect to have between 25 and 50 consoles the first day, but it mentions elsewhere that this number can be as low as 10. This is all determined by average store volume. I checked the computer and the consoles, games and peripherals are already in the system, so if you have a generous Target employee they can check to see exactly the amount of consoles they have in when they get the shipment."

On Nov. 22:

"Every store will print up tickets representing the number of 360's and core systems they have in stock. They are also supposed to print a large sign informing customers that the store has sold out and keep it on hand."

"Starting at 6:00 a.m., team members (employees) are supposed to go out and hand out tickets to people in line on a first come first serve basis. If all the tickets are not handed out on the first trip, they will go out every 15 minutes until there are no more left."
