I would think a bigger strain since you are constantly getting a feed, but I could be wrong. Last year I also brought up multiple feeds to watch as many games as possible. My productivity went down the drain.

I am waiting in line now as well...

Last year, the line really wasn't a problem about 2 or 3 hours after the games started. 12-1 it will be nuts. Later this afternoon, it will be nothing.

Last year, it took me about 15 minutes to get in during the first day first sessions.

It's cached on specialty hardware devices. There isn't a "server" for the video. It's a cluster of media gateways.

Just get in line now... Last year I was way back in line and got in about an hour later. They setup the lines so they aren't slammed all at once.

I'm in now but I'm scared my browser will crash like someone above.

Maybe you signed up last year? And than signed up for VIP when they sent out their notification a couple of weeks ago.

Who else loves the boss button?

Based on my place in line, I should be able to watch the last 2 minutes of the last game being shown today.

i think i did sign up last year.



the countdown thing just crapped out on me and my place in line didn't move for 10 minutes (timer was a -10 mins and increasing seconds), so i refreshed the browser and got shoved all the way to the back. and now every time there is an admission window no one gets in. sonuva

i'd wait for a while longer... it'd suck to be pushed back to the back of the line.

Took me 32 seconds to log in and get the feed running. No problems here. Video is very watchable and comprable, if not a bit better, than last year.
