I've always wanted to go to Japan. The main reason is just because it is just so culturally different than ours and I think that it would be really cool to experience it.
End of 2009 sales predictions:
PS3 - 33 Million 360 - 40 Million Wii - 75 Million
Jokes aren't USA exclusive... A grand-grandfather of mine was a little bit tired of some brokers at cattle market scrounging his snuff, so he started carrying a second snuffbox containing snuff mixed with dried dung. One of the broker, after scrounging again, started sniffing the air and told him "What a faint stink of shit, Mr Bista (common nickname in Umbria for John the Baptist, my grand-grandpa name), perchance these kids running around have some under their shoes"? 
Hatmoza, being so trusting of random words isn't a good idea if you strive to be smarter and improve. Any fool can preach crap to you and then you'll just blindly follow him, is that what you're saying the Japanese do? That would be sad if true.
What happened to critical thinking? Questioning authority, or in this case, some random dude's word?
Don't be a sheep.

Exactly, although if April Fool's Day is not a part of their culture, it's a lesson that can be learned with a tamer practical joke.

Did any of you actually read the story entirely ? The "game launched last night and 2000 people went to buy the game at midnight" is the 1 april joke. That line pic is just a part of the joke. There was no such line.

True, but some people may have ended up going, which is the cruel part. Although it's not like they really lost anything, a trip into town and their hopes dashed I guess...

We simply don't know whether they went or not. I doubt anyone kept track.

God dammit learn to read ! There was no line, the game launch + the line is the joke ! That news was posted in the morning with the purpose for people to read it and cry that they weren't there for the game launch.

According to Akiba Blog, over two-thousand people lined up at midnight today for DQIX. Midnight. Today. Today is April 1, and Dragon Quest IX is slated for release this July. This is according to the website. Note: people did not actually line up for it last night! The website merely has faked the launch.
Still, very cruel for those who woke up today and checked Akiba Blog website and thought they'd missed the game's launch — especially considering the number of times Dragon Quest IX has been delayed and how many Japanese gamers are impatiently waiting for it.
Er, yeah, I read that. However, did someone stay at the shop and check that nobody headed out to get the game?
