Gaffers:

Wanna see if we can organize something? I'm seriously considering coming home to NYC for this and then leaving the same day. Would be too... too epic. I know the area like the back of my hand and I have experience in ridiculous lines. What kinda experience you ask?

YES!!!

Leaving at 8:45am from Toronto on the June 11th.
Returning at 8:45pm from New York on June 12th.

This will give us one full day after the midnight launch to go around the city.

Agreed?

The ride can't take more than 10 hours max. That'll put him there at the store at around 7PM at the latest.

There's no way in hell the line's going to be so long that he'd have to start waiting 5 hours in advance to get in.

.... for Miyamoto, anyone who wasn't there for, like 8 hours+ had a wasted trip, I think. I was there for a long, long, long time, and there were still a horde of people in front of me.

I'm going to bet Kojima's going to attract a smaller crowd than Miyamoto.

This is all assuming the worst case scenario anyhow. I doubt he's going to have a problem.

Whatever happens, a pilgrim to see Kojima is priceless.

honestly, I would line up in the morning just to be sure, like around 10am or something. You guys have got your PSP and DS anyway :D . I don't think I can go though, I need pretty much Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday off and I just started my new job so I don't think I can pull it off. I would have to get VERY lucky with scheduling (normally we only get two days off in a row).

I might be able to go if someone can drive, but the scheduling has to work out for me. I would pay for gas too, but I'm not getting my hopes up anyway.


Anyway, can anyone here get me a signed copy? I'll pay you decent money on top of the game of course.

I suppose it'd be a better idea to call Virgin first and find out the fine details, like, when people can start lining up, if the copy has to remain in it's shrink wrap, how many copies per person, that kinda thing.

6:10pm. The $1 fare doesn't work though :(

I booked through with $30 return trip. Still a bargain.
Click to expand...

It works. Don't change any info and it works.
That said, 6:10pm = 6 hours +- getting there time and traffic :p

I'm thinking of going earlier. Will save some space for you. Just call my name/nickname :D
Will play MG:pO while i wait :p

Trust me, when you press purchase they will refuse the $1 fare. I did the same thing and greyhound rejected me. Try the next option at $30 return fare and it worked.
