If they're so willing to wait in line like that for a console accessory, we should make them wait in line like that for an unemployment check (assuming they are unemployed).

The funny part is that most people don't even care about the Kinect, they just wanna party. Have fun partying with several hundred exhausted nerds and that beady eyed Frankenstein family..

Wow, look at all you haters. I bet those people are having more fun standing in line goofing off talking about gaming than sitting in an office posting comments on a tech site.

Ah. Lining up for product launches.. epic times. The last one I went to was the Wii launch. Mind you, there were only 15 of us.. but we're a small city. That was an excellent night.

Seems like there's going to be a lot of exhausted people by morning.. many exhausted people.
Well, hope they enjoy Kinect.

Yeah ,don't hate on these people, they are my inspiration...everytime I feel bad about myself I look at them and say "At least I'm not standing on a street for 4 days waiting for a lousy game game controller to go on sale."

[citation][nom]wolfseeker2828[/nom]Hey guys, the Radeon 6000-series is coming out soon! We should all wait in line in front of AMD until they....wait, we have lives.[/citation]

I reckon that would be sweet. Imagine if they did have midnight launches and you were the first person on earth to purchase a particular video card.

I guess new PC products come out far too often for that, but still.

500 million going toward the launch of Kinect. Don't be suprised if these people are being paid to lineup and act excited about the product.

I got to walmart at 10pm... and was first in line... 2nd person didn't even show up until after 11. They did turn people away before midnight as they only had 8 kinect only units and more than 8 people wanted one. Tons of bundles though but no one in line wanted that.

The articles on this act as if you could only buy it as toys-r-us in NY or something.
