LOL. GTA will make that back right about 12:05 p.m. Shenmue is
still trying to recoup.

don't you mean 12:05am since it launches at midnight? LOL!

That was Office Space (movie) not The Office (tv show),
And yes in his excitement he said pm instead of am. What i'm confused about
is why the people waiting for the sale at 12am would talk like that? >> Stay informed about: GTA IV Steals Shenmue's title of Most Expensive Video Game.. |

Have you ever been to a midnight launch or camped out over night. The only
guys that usually are not complete dorks are guys just getting done their
second shift jobs, guys purchasing items just to resell on eBay or picking
it up for someone else, the occasional 1 or 2 cool guys that are taking the
following day off just to jam all night, and then you have your Star Trek
looking rejects that talk like the guy in Office Space. >> Stay informed about: GTA IV Steals Shenmue's title of Most Expensive Video Game.. |

I was at the midnight launch of the 15 year edition of Madden, and i camped
out a week after PS3 launched to get a PS3. The latter being a short camp,
and there were a group of teenaged kids there with a parent. However, I have
seen the throngs of people that camp out, and as of lately it seems like its
more and more people that are turning around and selling them on ebay. >> Stay informed about: GTA IV Steals Shenmue's title of Most Expensive Video Game.. |

I've only done it three times. The first time was an unsuccessful
attempt at procuring a 360 at launch. None of the guys there were
dorks (but perhaps you and I have different definitions of the term
LOL).
The second time was a successful attempt at procuring a 360 after 17.5
hours outside of a Best Buy in the middle of December. I'd say about
50% high school dweebs that time. A lot of the same guys from the
previous time, though, so it was cool to be able to hang out with
those guys again. One of them even brought a space heater but he was a
lot further back in line so we just toughed it out.
The third time was a successful attempt at procuring a Wii at launch.
Maybe one or two high school dweebs in the whole line. Most were just
parents and their kids trying to get the system. >> Stay informed about: GTA IV Steals Shenmue's title of Most Expensive Video Game.. |

Actually, just judging from the Best Buy guys that I talked to
yesterday afternoon when I went to check and see if I should pre-
purchase to assure getting one, he basically told me that most people
didn't even pre-order. They expect the rush right around when I was
planning on getting mine, lunch time. Lunch begins at 11:55 and I am
10 minutes away from the closest Best Buy (reward zone
points)..........12:05 pm. They didn't have $100 million in pre-
orders but they will surpass that in 1st day sales. >> Stay informed about: GTA IV Steals Shenmue's title of Most Expensive Video Game.. |

The Office Space guy did. The stapler character in Office Space was
from a comic that predated Beavis and Butthead. >> Stay informed about: GTA IV Steals Shenmue's title of Most Expensive Video Game.. |
