Lucky Apple Bags?

Would this be cool?
I tell y'all what would be cool is if Apple gave away a new 2ghz G5 in a random drawing. Everytime you purchased something from an Apple Store or Apple.com you would be entered to win. Just a thought. This $250 mystery bag business just isn't for me.

I just went by the new store here in SF, and four people are already camped out in line. Only 24 hours to go!
its going to be a brown paper bag with a gift certificat or sdomething either that or a giant bag with an old imac(crt) in it and then the keyboard mouse and software

I haven't really done anything with that aspect of .Mac yet, due to running two other sites and all, but I'll get to it eventually.

I just wish that Boston would get a Flag Ship Apple Store like that, I'm so jealous.
dmf, that is what I would call really loyal Mac fans. I can't imagine waiting in line for almost 24 hours. Not even sure that I would do if it if I was a lot younger.
My wife and I stood in line for almost 3 hours for the Panther opening. My reward was that I was #1 into the store.
Boston flagship store... that'd be nice...
Though the one in the Cambridge Side Galleria isn't bad, it's a nice little place.

Pictures of Store Being Built
Since I walk past the store on my way to work every day I've been chronicling the store as it's being built with my camera on my phone:

Man, that is hard-core...especially how busy that intersection is. I went by at lunch...a couple of them were all stocked up with potato chips, cookies, Coke,...lol
I couldn't even imagine asking my boss for the day off, much less telling my friends. "Gosh, guys, I'd love to go to dinner tonight, but I'm camping out in front of the Apple Store"...LOL
Several people in line already. Picture Posted!
I just walked over there and there are several people in line already.
Looks like I might have to get there even earlier than I wanted to!
Anyone willing to save a place for me, I'll have two chairs and a key to my building next door for bathroom breaks!

My sis was planning on waiting at around 8 AM and getting a lucky bag tomorrow
she just told me that, as of noon time today (Friday) the line was really long
I don't think she's getting a lucky bag anymore

Napster giftcard? LOL
My guess is:
* iPod mini
* .mac membership (do people actually buy it??)
* wireless mouse or keyboard
* Appleworks
* some accesory for the mini. Remote control, please.
* iTunes giftcard
* I hope not iLife, because everyone already has it... maybe the iSight... that'd be sweet
* I'm running out of ideas, but the Macworld membership sounds likely...
* Or maybe the non-Apple product would be the new Office, haha (I don't know if it was already released or when it will, but anyway...)
I wouldn't buy it, because I would just get stuff I don't need. The iSight would be the most interesting thing, but I really don't need one. If it were for free, though...
Any other ideas?
* Signed photo in frame of Steve Jobs on keyboard with garage band
* Special Limited edition 20 Anniversary Mac T-Shirt
* Next generation airport hub
* Old iPod stock
* Two button Apple BT Wireless Mouse with scroll wheel
The bag is clearly going to contain the same kind of stuff that was in the Tokyo Apple Store bags, and it will be stuff with a total cost of goods (to Apple) of less than $250.
For me, that means it's likely to hold a combination of things I already have (iLife, iTools membership, an iSight, Bluetooth adaptor, Panther) and things I don't have but don't want (Keynote, a useless one button wireless mouse, blank DVDs, training certificates).
I bet one or two bags out of the many will have an iPod, but the odds will suck.

My plan was to show up around 3am. I slept all day so i could stay up tonight. I heard that a few people were already there, now this. I live in East Bay, so it's not convenient for me to check it out. Anyone been by? Maybe I should drive over and figure out what's going on.
