"Wii" Still Do Not Have One

My last shot to get a Wii for Christmas will be this coming week. Today, I sadly went home without a Wii. I got to EB Games at 5:10 a.m. (store opens at 8:00 a.m.) and there were already 11 people in line. EB had only 9 units available. I headed out to Best Buy in Tyson's Corner and I was number 30 in line. The people ahead of me mentioned there were only 21 units available, but I stayed there just in case. The line got longer reaching 50+ people. At 7:10 the manager came out and handed out 21 vouchers. The way it looks right now, "Wii" will be enjoying our toy next year. Each time I visited a store looking for Wii, I have slowly acquired the game and additional accessories (all hard to find) that I want with the system. The game Zelda the Twillight Princess, a nunchuck, a Wiimote, and myself will patiently wait for the console to become available in the store shelves.

No Wii for Us

Today was another failed attemp to get a Nintendo Wii. Walmart had Wii's available today at 8:00 a.m. Don and I got up early to try and get one. We got to Walmart at about 5:30 a.m. - we were #44. Unfortunately for us there were only 30 units available for sale. Our first attempt was last Sunday. We tried to get to Target 30 minutes before opening time, but that was too late. The vouchers for the Wii were handed out at 7:00 a.m.
