How long did you wait outside for you console?

I've never understood why people would wait around for hours to get a console (or almost any new items). I don't even see the point in preordering. It isn't like you aren't going to survive if you don't have it immediately.

 If you didn't preorder, wait in line, or have connections it was very hard to get a Wii in my town for over a year.  Infact, all most stores still sell out the day they come in.
