I know folks here planning to camp out a day or two before it hits here.

I waited 16hrs for my Wii..so I know how it is.

I'm pretty sure i'll do the same for my iphone

There must be something else to this camping out thing that I don't get. For example, people did it for the Star Wars movies too. In reality that is even more stupid because you could easily just watch the movie a few hours later. So why trade several days of your life for seeing a movie a few hours earlier?

I see your point, but the difference here is that there is presumably a finite supply of iPhones once they go on sale -- unlike your example of going to a movie. So waiting in a long line for an iPhone may be the only way to get one (for a few days, at least). I guess that's the gamble.

Isn't there some other famous guy that was 1st in line for the XBox, XB360, PS3 and Wii?

well..maybe. for a day or so... wouldn't go so far as "famous" ...

You just know that Apple is gonna give him that iPhone for free. If nothing else to get him out of the store as quickly as possible so they don't have to deal with his 4 days of BO.

Where's Triumph, the Insult Comic Dog when you need him?

Guys, thanks for introducing me to Triumph - the funniest thing I've heard in a long time. I've just spent quality time on Google vids searching for clips of the dog.

Any updates on the guys in line? The weather was AWFUL today in NYC -- so hot and muggy. I couldn't stand to be outside for more than a couple of minutes. And now there's thunderstorms coming....

 

[stagi]

wonder how many other people are waiting with him now? anyone nearby?

 

[Peace]

Rolling Stone did an update today.Seems there's more at the Soho store than the 5th Ave. store.
