How Long Would You Wait in Line?

Are you one of those people who simply has to be the first with the latest product?

When Apple announces a new product, or even just an upgrade, out come the fans. Many start lining up hours, even days, to be the first to show off the latest version of their favorite device.

And others are willing to camp out for tickets to their favorite performers' concert. Thursday night, a small group of people camped out at Walt Whitman Shops to win admission to a John Legend-Taio Cruz performance Friday night. (The Legend portion was moved indoors because of lightning). A few months ago, several young women bundled up in the entranceway of the Paramount to buy tickets to a favorite performance.

Is there any product or performer that would persuade you to brave the elements or stand in line that long? Please tell us in the comments.
