Curiously, the games that they've chosen to provide—like Final Fantasy (http://gizmodo.com/tag/finalfantasy/) XIII, Avatar, and Uncharted 2—have the kind of long story arcs that don't exactly lend themselves to a two-hour delay. But hey, that's probably the point! The first hit's free, etc.
It's a great thought, but if the lines are anything like those at the sports bars at JFK during a snowstorm, I'm not sure the riots will be entirely worth it.
