While I agree with the overall skepticism regarding big lines and selling out. We have had many months to prepare for the release. That is many months for interested consumers to finish up their cell phone contracts(or opt out in some way or another) and many months for interested consumers to save up for an iPhone.
On the subject of lining up for product releases in general though, I think that in the past couple years, that has become more popular to do, I am not sure why, but more people seem willing to do it today than ever before, even if it is completely stupid to do so.
