With tomorrow being release day, we're bound to see about 20 different posts for release day experiences, I figured I'd start one up.... even though, ironically, I'm not camping out.
Did a quick drive by Target, Best Buy, and Circuit tonight out of curiousity. I've got to say that allowing tents is weak:
- Limits access of paying customers to the stores.
- Allows easier "cutting". How many people are in the tent? How many people "belong" to the tent. Too easy to get screwed.
- Makes the line even longer, forcing people to potentially overlap in lines to avoid standing in the parking lot.
Let me just put a vote down for outlawing tents on release day events. I think of how many movie lines I stood out in the rain, or in the cold, with just a coat and a walkman. The way life should be. (And that was after I walked 10 miles in the snow, uphill, both ways. )
Hope everyone has fun tonight, and hope anyone here who camps out gets a unit.
