Waiting in Line for…

…for what? Being the first one that discovers the hidden bugs and limitations before anyone else does? There was only one product in my life I bought on the Launchday. And that way a Nintendo DS which I bought on the same day as two of my best friends. And now I think even that was a bad decision because until the DS Lite came out I only owned two games. If I would have waited until then I would have had the new revision and saved some money too.

Why do I say that? Because Bill Maher got it exactly right some days ago, even if people disagree. There is absolutely no need to buy things on the first day. Wait for the other fools that do so. Let them find out if said product really does what the company says in the advertisements. Or try it a week after launch in a store nearby, which is the even better idea. And if you wait for longer than half a year you can then find out if you really, really wanted it. If you don’t even think about it any more there was no need in buying. That saves money and spares nerves. And on the long run you will be happier too, I promise.
