With free wireless Internet, a hot dog stand and a few friends, Daniel Eran Dilger calculates he could survive for days outside a store in a dogged attempt to grab the latest must-have consumer gadget.

Dilger, a 33-year-old technology consultant from San Francisco, will camp outside an Apple store before the June 29 release of the iPhone, a mobile phone with a touchscreen, music and video player and Internet browser with email capability.

"I might get my friends to camp with me," he said.

Doing this for consoles is bad enough, worse yet for something that will be obsolete in 6-8 months.

Jesus christ. It's just a damn piece of plastic and silicone...which costs 500$. It just CAN NOT be that important that you'll camp out the store just to get it first. Meh...
