I get excited about plenty of things, but very few (if any) of them would lead to me stand in a queue for hours/days, often in the cold or wet.

In Africa?:eek::D

Any manufacturing issues will come to light in the first batch.

Same with new model cars.

That is a fair argument (and the rumours that their is a disk drive fault with some XB1s supports that argumunt) however obviously people are covered by their rights anyway.

I feel exactly the same when I see the queues of people outside somewhere like an Apple store all waiting (sometimes for a day or two) so they can be the first peole to get their hands on the newest iphone.
It's a bl00dy phone for God's sake. Not something like a new medical device that you need to stay alive.

the ' must beat the Jones syndrome' spings to mind. in I MUST have the new gadget before Tommy down the road gets one, even if it means sleeping in a shop doorway for a week in the freezing cold.

I'm not in Africa any more. (but I couldn't be ar5ed to get my id changed)
I'm currently in the Caribbean (where it's currently chucking it down), but you would be amazed how much it does actually rain in West Africa and I've been in places where is does get pretty cold at night.

This is what I have to look forward to over the next 10 days:

Hi,

My apologies for wanting to spend money I earned on a product I want, in a timescale that suits me.

John Lewis confirmed they are not receiving product until 9th, so refunded my vouchers based on false advertising.

Why do I want one on launch day? Because if I don't get one now, it is likely post christmas.

Is my son a spoilt brat...no, I lied it's actually for me!

I wasn't stood in the rain camping out, I was in my underpants in the comfort of my own home pressing a refresh button. It went from "available to buy at midnight" to "out of stock" at the stroke of 12....why? Because they never had any stock....

But I guess it's me in the wrong.

How do you know they never had any stock ? Maybe your clock was slow ?

Because they told me at 8:30 am this morning they were not showing as having sold one unit. Hence my refund. Later when checking on refund they confirmed 9th Dec delivery of stock. Out of stock with not one sale...yeah, maybe I was too slow trying to purchase at 12:00:00.001 am.

And I wasn't going by the clock per se. Pressing refresh every second from 11:55 to 12 to watch the site go from "available to purchase at 12:00" to something else. It went straight to out of stock, cause they had none. Clocks don't come into it.
