Except that even if you're there for "publicity" or are getting paid some measly sum to sit around, it's still idiotic, and the people on this forum still have every right to call these people morons.Lol at all the posters commenting about how idiotic this is and wondering why people would wait just to get a phone....
READ. THE. STORY.
These people are there for publicity.
As I mentioned on p. 12 here there's countless other possibilities, too. But yeah. They have a few weeks to do what they enjoy in life during the day without further obligations, clearly they're jobless! And hobos and losers!!11 There's no other explanation!!1 Is that your jealousy speaking, because you'd like that amount of freedom with your time management?
Getting up early for one day and getting your order in seems a lot better use of one's time. Unless you have technical problems, if you order at the starting launch time, you were almost guaranteed what you wanted right away.
sure you couldn't in places like NYC but where I live you can just show up at your carrier on launch day bout 30 min. after they open walk in and leave with your new phone in minutes and you wouldn't need to wait for ups/fedex or outages/delays

Sadly no one will read this because here at macrumors, many posters have add and can't be bothered to read past a headline.
Couple that with the opportunity to bash apple and its users and you've got it all.
You might want to read the fine print. It might be an "upgrade" but the phone may still cost you two-thirds of one unlocked with an added two your contract.

Publicity? I know I'm not going to click on these news articles and read a quote from one of these people trying to push his/her web service, www.isitaroundyoupayme.com or whatever.
Money? You'd have to pay me a hell of a lot of money to sit in one spot for you for three weeks straight -- way more than I make going to my job every day, which, for three weeks, is... well, a lot of money.
next thing you know, these people will be demanding $15/hr![]()
