No luxury item is worth waiting in line longer than an hour. Food and other necessities I can understand.

I can just buy it a few days later when the second truck comes, and nobody will be in line at all. Or in the case of very high demand products, a week later.

There needs to be a quest in Fallout 4 where you have to stand in line for several hours to get a limited edition Nuka Cola. Or a game cart for the Pimpboy maybe?

Even better, Desert Bus: Fallout edition. If you sway too far off the road and get stuck, instead of getting towed, you get ambushed by super mutants.

Pemmican is pretty incredibly durable. Corn and rice also lust forever without refrigeration.
Ah yes, the insatiable lust of corn and rice, clearly two of the most erotic foods.

I don't get the whole queuing argument, because I think electronic copies are more convenient.
It's very hard to buy physical copies here anyway, because the majority of shops that used to sell games here have closed down over the past few years. Steam, torrents and cheap Internet have made them go out of business.

The US is still a very big share of video game sales and US internet access is shit compared to most of the rest of the world, many 3rd world countries included.

Meh, is there anything wrong with being jealous of good internet, considering how big games are getting?

60GB's is 1/5th of my monthly limit and I wouldn't dare do it with anything less than a torrent because it's likely to take more than 24 hours. I think I'd actually save money by burning gas to get to a physical store. I'd certainly save money walking and burning calories.

In the darkness of Easternmost Europe where I live, a 100 Mbit/s download/50 Mbit/s upload xPON Internet connection with no traffic limits costs about 25$ per month. My telephone line is too shitty for these speeds, though. :(

You are still going to need to use steam to install Fallout 4. I don't imagine it being any different than most games or how Skyrim was.

Unless you are getting it on consoles.

If you're buying a Bethesda title for console at this point, it's entirely your own fault.  :P

bethesda makes broken games on consoles lol. I'd hate to be a console player and play Skyrim.

My friend's experience with skyrim on his xbox360:

"wooo 400 hour character, nearly 100%...oh save corrupted..."

100 hours later on new character...save corrupted.

98 hours the main quest bugs and he has no save that works with main quest

tries to do dawnguard, but for some reason none of the scripts are activating properly because he beat the main quest and the game started acting weird

Then everything works, 300 hours in...save corrupted...

(edit: oh to add, skyrim made his xbox360 do that red death thing or whatever its called, three times. Each time he was playing skyrim when it happened and something in the game got corrupted and ruined his xbox and he'd need it repaired)

Finally, he buys it on steam :P

And then he goes and buys fallout 4 for his xbox one :P I imagine he'll be just as pissed off as he was with skyrim. He prefers console gaming, but still. He keeps hitting his head on the wall with console bethesda games lol.

Wow, I may have sub-par internet compared to some places and a significant ping due to being in south america, but boy am I glad size limits to how much you can download/upload is not a thing here (illegal, I think, but not 100% sure).
