Yeah, but how would you feel when they only get enough shipments to partly fill the pre-orders? Wouldn't THAT suck!

Maybe, maybe not but if I had the days off from work, I'd wait that long to get one and turn it around on ebay. Have you seen how much they are going for?
I could make way more money working for 9 days Even if I had vacation days, I could work instead and make money. I'd rather sit at work than outside bestbuy for 9 freaking days.

Yup. I bet the majority of us will easily make that much money working rather than sitting around for that long.

9 days of waiting OUTSIDE?!! Seriously, think about it, KRAAAZZZYYY!!!! They would have to pay me at least $100,000 to get me to wait outside for 9 days.

I would wait up to 12 hours. I have no use for it, but that 12 hours I would consider working. You will make $2000 dollars in 12 hours. Look at how much they are going for on ebay.

I would feel like an idiot waiting for more than about 20 minutes.

It's an easy way to double or even triple a $600 buy. For a college kid, why not?

If i have time in my hands i'll do it. It will triple, maybe 4X the $600 cost. Majority of those people if not all, are all in it for the money.
