I didn’t wait in line; put in a pre-order two weeks ago and picked up my copy after work yesterday with no wait.

my point exactly. You thought about it, planned ahead and didn't wait like a fool in front of a store for "hours".

In other words Halo 3 is "entertainment" for you, not the "must have" item that you are "dying" for and willing to jump and sit like a little dog in order for the $7.00 /hour clerk grants you the extreme priveldge of owning a video game.

I imagine that the people in line would wet their pants if an undiscovered lost episode of "Star Trek" were to be found.

I honestly don't see the point in waiting in line for a midnight release of a video game, unless you're the type that doesn't have to get up in the morning and go to work.

Especially when there is no wait in buying it the next day.

Regardless, I'm glad to see the game is doing so well. Its a quality title and online multiplayer architecture is pretty revolutionary.

It’s just people having some fun, no reason to be a flaming asshat about it. A little bit of midnight silliness hanging around with a bunch of like minded geeks is fun, maybe not your kind of fun but that doesn’t make it bad or them stupid.
