Seriously, what's the fascination with being first to get an iWhatever? It's not just this dude either. It's not like getting yours first means that you'll get a special edition or you get some kind of special recognition. The dude behind you that gets it 2 minutes later has the same device. Concert & sports tickets are a different animal, because your place in line determines where your seats will be. But I don't understand this phenomenon when it comes to identical gadgets.
Just think! All of those Apple store employees gleefully clapping at you while you receive your coveted iDevice. It makes 4 days of camping out in front of the store all worthwhile.
