True. Agreed totally.
I recall back in 2010 when iPhone4 was first launched in Malaysia.
It was quite havoc at the Gardens and I was tuned in to this forum to get frequent update from forumers lining up.
Since I'm in Penang, I waited it up. On Monday morning (2 days after the launch at KL), I woke up at 7am to start lining up at the Maxis Centre at Seberang Jaya.
To my surprise, I'm the 2nd person in line. No one was really hard up to get the iPhone at Seberang Jaya area. By 9am when the Maxis Store open, there were only about 20 ppl at the queue.
On that day, I got myself an iPhone4 32GB. Very proud of it back then. Brought to office that same afternoon showing off to everyone in office.
While on the same day back at Penang Queensbay Mall, ppl are still queuing like nobody's business.
Fast forward to present day. iPhone6 has really made an impact compare to previous iPhone 5 releases.
I'm seriously considering to get one, but of course with the right price. I don't want to burn a hole in my wallet in the end of the day.
So, I'm patiently just waiting for news from Maxis, most likely will sign up 2 years package deal.
Then when the day comes, I will just start lining up again at 7am.

haha i remember ip4 launch at The Gardens. me and my friends reached at 11pm. got our phone around 4-5am and slept for a few hours before going to work. it was madness and the processing is very slow. we almost left at our first 30 minutes haha. after that day we promised that we won't do that again. yeah i agree queuing up sounds silly but it was an experience.
ip5 at Cap Square was better. went on the 2nd/3rd day (Sunday) 6pm. no Q. took us less than 30 minutes to get the phone.
no plans yet whether to Q or not for ip6. we'll see.
