what if u were there to get a different game?

@RorschachAvenger actually something like this happened on the day of the Xbox launch. At the same location, there was a massive queue which was surprising to say the least. Turns out that it was the queue for the first season of 24 on DVD :/

Interestingly though, the smallest queue i've seen at Tsutaya was for the Nintendo DS launch (around 15 people). It was a Thursday launch of course but even so... and we all know how that turned out in the end :D

or the old man in the black?

[dcoyles]

the guy in the black is Yuji Horii, the guy in the blue slime hawaiian shirt is Ryutaro Ichimura , the producer.

One thing I don't get: why do they choose to stand in line for hours? Can't they just preorder stuff online?

[dcoyles]

For many Japanese , DQ is a once ever 3-4 year event. People who aren't hardcore gamers get excited along with the bigtime gamers.

There's not really a need to queue, you can preorder, but there is something fun about the whole thing.

I didn't know they shook hands in Japan. I don't know much about Japanese culture.
