So yeah I was chillin at NYC saturday night wit my friend, it was like 11 PM. The game store was closed and already, people are sitting down on mats in front of the store camping out until midnight to get the nintendo wii. are you guys serious? please, it's A GAME .. seems like these people would die for the nintendo wii. I heard it was shitty anyways. These mexicans need a life (no racism intended, a lot of people that were camping out were mexican). why can't they just be patient? if they're out of stock, just wait until they're re-stocked like 2-3 months later ...

Well, just the fact that you mentioned "mexican" loads your post with potential bashing. Just pointing that out.
Yeah, but some people are impatient like that.  There was a guy who got SHOT while waiting for some other gaming console (or was it the Wii? can't remember). And some poor guy had already bought his Wii and was walking out of Best Buy when some mob grabbed it from him, grabbed a sledgehammer, and crushed his precious Wii.That's gotta suck though. |

A lot of people were paid to queue, just like with the PS3.
They're just gaming fanatics.. What can you do? These people are stupid anyways.. Why not just preorder online?? |

So what if they are camping out for it? It's their life they are wasting, not yours.
I know a few people who were very antsy to get this game, and it isnt crappy. Yeah, I havent played the Wii, but I trust the opinion of these few people that I know, because they are, in fact, the biggest gamers I know. And that is saying a lot.

Yeah, it's really no big deal. and the wii is in no way "shitty." Of course, if you want to be like all the other dumb asses who see a pretty game and it's "OMG TEH BEZ GAME EVAR!" Gameplay > Graphics any day.
But, I digress. Yeah, it's really none of your business. If I had time, I probably would've camped out with some friends. It sound pretty fun to me. |

It is something called 'passion.' A quality many youth in this society lack these days; perhaps, maybe, even you. What are YOU so 'passionate' about that, for example, you'd be willing to wait outside 20+ hours for a game console?

It's just more important to them than it is to you. Judging them solely from that seems a little childish. The comment about mexicans is a little over the edge, IMO.

Even though camping for a ps3 or videogame seems ridiculous..I guess it's people's passion. You can't stop them from doing what they want xD. I mean..I hate and think it's ridiculous when people line up overnight the first day Harry Potter comes out...i didn't even like the books.

^ It's not only kids that would buy it. Grown men who have been though college and have jobs are serious gamers too.
