Despite my prior comment. I respect that.
I still remember taking a 45 minute long subway ride at around 10:30pm one frightfully cold November night, only to arrive an hour or so early at an EBGames in freakin' 32nd street Manhattan for the Gamecube midnight launch. I traveled from Brooklyn, at that.
Waited an hour, froze my nards off. Then, had to travel all the way back, nervous and anxious the whole trip.
Yeah.

i picked up my Dreamcast in between classes, had two classes and a huge break in between. Left school (i went to CCNY) after my first class, went to that same EB where i had my dreamcast pre-ordered, picked it up, picked up soul calibur from the software etc across the street (now its a gamestop), and went back to school to attend my last class of the day.

iPod wasn't already out in Japan? I surprised to hear that. I had no idea.
I feel like buying a new iPod from just looking at that picture. Actually after backing up my iTunes music folder (4.5 gigs) into the iPod I only have about 4/5 gigs left so maybe it's a good idea. A 40 ( or 60!) gig iPod could also serve as a backup removable HDD.

Worse story:
I camped out for 6 hours for my GameCube. I was in front of Circuit City and was the 1st one in line. I left around 5:30AM (CC is a 10 minute walk from my house) and waited until 12PM. I called the day before to ask them what time the store would open and they told me 9AM. I figured a 3 hour wait wouldn't be bad. Then when the managers showed up they said they'd open the store at 11. But it ended up opening at 12 because their POS (not piece of shit
) system went down for 45 minutes. I was the first to walk out with a GC in my hands, though. But the wait was terrible.

Take a look around, there are always lines at the openings for larger Apple Stores, and for new Apple products.
People love Apple.

And even i am moderately surprised
In Akihabara , there is a ramen shop that EVERY DAY has two hour waiting times to eat at.
The queue used to have markers like at amusement parks
"If you are here, you have 30 mins to wait"
"If you are here , you have 1 hour to wait..."
quite amusing.
Anyways, carry on....
