definitely am more vigilant about preordering things i want these days.Adventure Time: Finn & Jake Investigations for Wii U, Multicolor Overall kinda worth it for the one time experience, but i'd be hard pressed to ever do it again. Sometime deep into the night, like well after midnight a car came by, dudes rolled down the window and yelled 'YOU FUCKIN' NERDS' and threw a bunch of eggs at people in the middle of the line lmao. pre-smart phone tho, obviously, so no real internet surfing. it was unreasonably cold for a florida night too, which sucked, but i was close enough to a panera bread in the same plaza to connect by ds to wifi and play mario kart online for a few hours to pass the time. by 9pm the line was 40 or so people long. Went over to target around 5pm, was first in line but a line of probably 20 or so people formed behind me within the next 45 minutes.

i'd originally gone to walmart, who were letting people queue up in the electronics section of the store since they were a 24 hour store and were selling at midnight, but i was 12th in line and was informed they only had 11 consoles. Yeah i waited outside overnight at a target to get an xbox 360 on launch day. Have you ever done it? Were the people around you friendly? Did you get what you were queuing up for? Lots of people were chatting over their DSs.Īnyway, I got my Wii, Wii Sports (not a pack-in here) and Zelda Twilight Princess. This was the only time I ever used DS Pictochat to talk to others, instead of just drawing rude shapes with nobody else in the room. The chaps behind me felt sorry for me shivering away, so they gave me some of those gel packs you can put on your body to keep warm. Watchful Bic Camera staff walked up and down to keep an eye on things, but when I had to leave the line for a bathroom break, and a quick burger, nobody minded my coming back to my place at all. The whole waiting around was very civilized. Later, friends of theirs came back and took it away again. They even went as far as putting a box of tissues on the table. Shortly after, their friends turned up carrying a picnic table, some chairs and some food. A group of about five young men behind me established their place, and then got on the phone to their pals.

It was extremely cold, but the Japanese people in the line were extremely well-prepared. I was once on the several hundred who waited outside Bic Camera in West Shinjuku. I've only done it once - early December 2006, and the Wii was about to released the next morning in Japan.
