Tough it out man. Vinny and I took on MN weather for over 24 hrs outdoors and it was below 20 out! My advice is to stop by Walmart and get a robber style facemask. Not only will people not **** with you but they actually keep you really warm for $2. Good luck, I hope you get one.

I went out tonight and Best Buy had 20-30 people in front, Walmart had a line a mile long inside, so yes, the Wii is BIG!

While the lines weren't as big in here there are still plenty of people out. I still think I will be able to get one in a store tomorrow. Especially if the website that said my Target will get 60 is correct.

I'm back. Even K-Mart had freakin' tents. I really have no idea how Nintendo did it. Little to no mainstream media coverage. One commercial. Could they be the top dogs again?

Were all of the Wii's at Target accounted for?

Try this... http://wii.clambert.org/

Also, you could try Sam's Club. You WILL have to wait at least 6 hours somewhere prob. to get one. Should have scooped up the internet postings

20/20, my friend. And yes, the line was in the little alcove and going down the side of the building.

Re: The Official Wii & PS3 Launch Discussion

I just picked mine up for EB at 12. It was better than the 360 launch though cuz they rang u up as soon as u got there and gave u the Wii but just trapped u in the store until 12. I played a little Zelda and Wii sports and I'm liking it so far. My brother had to camp out like 2 hours to get the preorder but thats nothing compared to his friend who went to target at 5 pm today.

Can't wait to hear Candy's impressions of the system. Oh let me guess I think he'll like it.

Re: The Official Wii & PS3 Launch Discussion

Wow, I just checked that site out and one of the 12 stores here is getting/got/had/whatever 156!! The 2 stores right down the road both got 42, I might just check in the morning and see what they have.
