Yea, I saw some kids lining up at Wal-Mart, waiting in line. I was baffled. Because I'm like: I wouldn't let MY kids stand out there at midnight, waiting in line to get a gaming console! I'd get it whenever I can later on.
Gotta love that, eh?
Thanks for airing my private thoughts. I did think it was addictive. I mean, we do have Xbox, PS2 & Gamecube, but we never stand in line, nor do we let the kids play more than an hour a day. They have consequences to follow. (Meaning if they play outside for four hours, then they can get an extra hour. If their room is a mess, they don't get to play. If they come home with bad reports/grades from school, then it gets taken away for two weeks.)
So when people hears that we have three, they're like, "OMG, you are sooo addicitive.." I'm like: Whatever, dude. Only kids play on that. It's rare that myself and my sweeties play on it, and when we do, it's family time! The kids come down and cheer us (or just one of us) on.
