The guy I was dating back when the PS2 came out waited all night in line at the Metreon so he could buy one when the Sony store opened at 6:00 in the morning. He turned around and sold it on eBay. I didn't think the profit he made ($100 or $200, I can't remember) was worth waiting on the sidewalk all night in the rain.

EDIT: This sure does happen in other industries. Don't you guys remember the uproar over Cabbage Patch Kids and Tickle-Me Elmo? People got beat up and trampled trying to buy those things for their kids.
