After reading the gaming forums for a bit and reading up on some details for the PS3 and Wii launch, this has gotten me to think how long some lines up are going to be. I don't know the details and the units and such, but I'm willing to bet people are going to wait a very long time for whatever consoles they might desire.

So, folks, what's the longest time you've waited in line for ANYTHING, whether it be a movie, a hot dog stand, a previous video game console (Xbox 360 comes to mind), a new department store opening up. Whatever!

Furthermore, what would you think would be the maximum amount of wait time that you physically have to stay in line, and for what product/service/item?

I think the longest I've waited in line was about 2 and half hours for some rollercoster ride in Disneyland. God. >_> I think the only thing I'd stand in line for maybe 3 hours are one of those "once in a life time" things, like perhaps a concert featuring which ever my favorite piano concerto might be, especially if it's like a triple A rated pianist or the like.

I’m willing to bet some of you have probably waited the night and wanted to get in the store the next day, c’mon and fess up! What did you wait for and how was it like? I think the people I’ll never understand are those that lined up like a month before the opening of the Star Wars Episode 1 movie. Man oh man.

So, how about you?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

America and their black Fridays, I wish Canada had something similiar. When are your so-called knock out deals?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Sometimes it's the experience of waiting in line that's fun.

That's true. I mean, I do think waiting in line overnight is a bit on the extreme for me, but I think that waiting in lines with friends or with chatty and nice people would highten the experience just for an hour or two at most. The only thing I'm looking forward to wait in line for is like the new FF game or something, which probably there'll be a line up where I am. I wish I could go with a friend ;___;

In a way it's funny that you're about talking about patience, DragoonKain, while you're not waiting for phone lines. I don't want to start anything or quarreling, just saying ya know.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
