People who didn’t need the iPad lined up for hours to get one last Saturday, the first day that touch-screen media player went on sale nationwide.

Some waited on line for three hours at the Best Buy on Bay Parkway in Bensonhurst — one of only two Brooklyn locations that was selling the cool, but apparently not so vital, device.

“Basically, I’m buying it because Steve Jobs told me I need it,” Bay Ridge resident Brian Halpin said. “There really is no reason why I need this.”

Bensonhurst resident John Cusimano admitted that he wasn’t even interested in owning an iPad — until the hype took over.

“When the time comes, it’s exciting, and you want to be the first one to have a new product,” he said.
