It's not just video games, it's movies, Apple products, black friday, etc. I think standing in line is the new fun thing to do.

There are so many damn people thats what you HAVE to do. I hate people. I couldnt imagine living in an Asian country. I would go insane.  :timebomb:

Come to think of it, are there any other stores that exclusively sell games aside from Gamestop? EB games, Funcoland, are all gone.

Well "Black Friday" is for those bargain seekers. Stores intentionally make it so that you "have" to go at 6am to get first dibs. The deals are often good enough that it's worth the hassle.

And I sort of understand Apple products or any hardware (like consoles) for the hardcore fans of said products. It's not pressing a disc, these all require many parts and assembly which leads to shortages.

But video games on optical media are easily manufactured, not like cartridges back in the day (I remember NEVER being able to find Super Mario Bros. 2 when it first came out for weeks on end.) If there's any so-called shortage, it's manufactured by the publisher. The only exception here would be for any of those premium-priced collector's editions for the more popular games, but even those I see sitting on the shelves looking for a home. But in general, you just don't see short supply of games like you used to. There's no need to line up for these things anymore.

Man I WISH it was at 6am. Stores around here are opening at 3 am. My sister has to work at macy's at 4, and the GF wants to go black friday shopping. I dont know whats worse though, some stores are opening on Thanksgiving at 10 pm and midnight. Im almost glad that I have to work on Black Friday so I have an excuse not to go.  >:D

Nobody has to stand in line.  We're talking about electronics.  Not flu shots.  Anyone who hates the line can wait a few days and pay the regular price.

gamestop ---meecrob--- almost pwned me yesterday. GF pre-paid for SR3 collectors (birthday present) tried to give me the regular one. I thought I was going to have to punch him.
