Let's put it this way: people with responsibilities do not have time to stand in line at Best Buy for 3 days.
Idle time is best spent reading. I read about 20 books a year. I am currently reading Grant's Memoirs. Besides history, I am a big fan of American and Russian literature.
Thank you for telling people how to live their lives
You're full of crap!
Both of my married sons who work very hard and successfully to support their families stood in lines today. Not for the PS3, but for the new Wii system. This is their pasttime when not working or helping with the kids. My oldest makes his living as an artist for a PC/box game company and it has worked well for him. The other is the IT/Network person for his company.
Playing games as a pasttime is no different than those of you who play golf regularly or from the maniac fans who will camp out in line for superbowl tickets, or tickets for some college team, or a concert for their favorite band. In fact, most golf fanatics and sports nuts I know spend less time with their families than my sons or most gamers I know. One other thing, they read books (history, novels, literature) all of the time, and more than 20 books a year. They take more time to read than I have been able to in recent years.
Get a grip! You automatically assume that those who stand in line to buy these games are layabouts. Some are, but most work for the money they are spending.
OK, now go back to your pro football game.
