You pre-ordered it??
Well if you have done that, you should not have to queue up and just go to the store and pick it up... If you didn't, You might have to stand in a line for about 2 hours or so.
Pre-ordering is a smart thing (Good Job) and it may require only about 15 minutes.
For survival tips: *NOTE* This tips are very common and have been used years after years in New York city and Los Angeles (depend on what part you live in).
Things needed
>> Medicinal Plasters
>> Coffee
>> Alarm Clock
>> Baseball bat (make sure you just show it to the people but don't use it for real physical hit)
>> Sleeping bags
>> Snacks
>> Sneakers (You might have to run to get first place to the store)
Good way
>> Sleep in your car which is park in front of the store and have an alarm clock which is set about 30 minutes earlier before the store opens.
>> Try asking a friend of yours (if you have one) who works there to give you the game faster before the store opens
>> Wait for the hassle to end (Knowing you have pre-order it) and walk chest out with a proud face when you in the store. Then shout out loud and boast about the game that you have ordered.
Bad way
>> Don't sleep and drink coffee all night in front of the store. Try to maintain a smelly body as it will make other people (hopefully not the staff) to stay away from you, giving you a clean path to the cash register.
>> If you have dog(s), use them and tie it at your wrist or any metal handle available. Scare away the people who are waiting in line.
Some of the tips may be humorous but it is the reality. Some people did do the stuff described just for a freaking game. Some also tend to get hurt.
