Don't call this people crazy, because you know you been to a Midnight Releases all exited to get your hands on the New Game or System. I know i been to many Midnight Launches and they end up being awesome.

They're always really fun. No one judges people when they go wait for the midnight release of something other than a video game, but for some reason its always different.

I tried a demo 3DS unit yesterday
It actually works pretty well as long as you keep the 3D setting closest to the lowest possible. I suppose it will vary depending on your eyesight. It seems to be a solid well made little device. But I would rather see this on an XL model. The 3DS screen is a bit too small for me. Some folks will get eye strain.

I predict there will be an XL version. For the size, the $250 price tag is insane to me. I rarely attend midnight releases, but I understand people's excitement behind new products. But how does anyone who waits in line for a freaking WEEK have a job , girlfriend, or otherwise. I DO think that is insanity.

No bathing for a week, could you imagine being in line since Monday, and having to scratch your balls on Friday, there isn't a soap on the market that could remove that funk from your hands in less than 15 washings. And you know he probably shook Reggie's hand - ewwww. Many people who claimed they were starving wouldn't do that for a cup of soup or sandwich, think about it. Isaiah-Triforce Johnson is bat-shit crazy. I know people rotate off for bathroom breaks, but not shower breaks, baby wipes can only go so far..

Yay Blackie "McTriforce" Blackerton finally got his gimmick filled 3DS after standing in line for a week when he could have just ordered it and got release day shipping. Can this be tagged for MORONS WHO STAND IN POINTLESS LINES and NINTENDO's NEW GIMMICK then promptly moved to the WGAS channel? ktnxbye.

Yay, Racist "McFuckwit" Trollington just made his idiocy obvious!

Actually, if I were a racist, I would have just straight out said nigger. So it's lookin' like you're the not so bright one here since you can't tell the difference between racism and me just pointing out that I'm sick of seeing the guys face. Really no reason he should even have any fame whatsoever considering he's stupid enough to sit outside a Best Buy when he doesn't even have to. Simple as that really. Sorry you're not smart enough to figure that out on your own. ;)
