I love that they always get in huge lines for any big game that comes out. I wonder if there's a person who waits a few hours, walks into the store and picks the game up and laughs at everybody who waited.

The game could always sell out, or a walk-in might not find a X360 to buy...Who knows.

But at any rate, a person couldn't laugh at anyone by walking into the store and buying it after a few hours - those that waited will have already been home playing the game.

 

 

Having been someone who's occassionally waited in line to watch a late-night premier, buy a new OS or game, acquire a new gadget, etc., I can honestly say that I have never done so to make sure I got my copy or to get it as soon as humanly possible.  Every time I did this I went with a friend and had a blast meeting other people who were just as passionate about gaming, etc.

 

So, it's not about being there first... at least not for me.  It's about being part of something that people are passionate about.
