Nothing extreme... right? - FISHYCRACKERS - 06-05-2009 12:18 AM

I know for past titles like Halo, the Wii, and a few other things, there has been massive pressure to get the game or system, mainly people camping out or waiting 'til midnight to be the first one to get it. The Sims has quite a name for itself, and an even bigger fanbase, but is anyone here really going to do something a bit ridiculous like that?

Wink I might do it for the experience. have to do it once in a life time.  ??? Even though I have already pre-ordered it so that would be pointless... I guess

No, absolutely not {no} I think you would have to have a screw loose to bother going to those kinds of extremes for the sake of a game or console, proper crazy {woot}

I know a lot of people do it, but my life is far more than The Sims 3 {yes} I have better things to do with my time than sit on a cold, often wet path waiting for something that I know will arrive through my letterbox just hours later anyway. An utterly pointless experience in my eyes Big Grin

I have exams until the 12th of June so yeah.. I don't think so XD
Our stores usually get the game MUCH later than the release date anyway, so I'll probably just as my aunt to get me the game before she comes around that time (she lives in the US)

I'm not even in the country that night and I'll be on a coach coming back and I'll be so tired by that time that I won't want to go to the bother of driving all the way to the nearest city.

The most extreme I've gone is going up to GameStop at Midnight with my Fiance for when Smash Brother's Brawl and Resident Evil 5 came out.  Never camped over night or anything silly like that.

Midnight releases are pretty fun.  At first, I didn't want to go, but it's a different experience.  The people are nicer, and they are talkative.  You can get into a fun conversation, there is at least one crazy person that cracks everyone up, but it's fun.  I may go to a midnight release, if they have one for TS3.  I would be too tired to pop the game in when I get home, and would do it in the morning or afternoon, which I always do, but it's a fun experience.
