Grats Neo. I figured a lot of stores had probably been either overnighted a bunch more or were told to hang onto them just in case.

What I dont understand is, if Nintendo was/ is planning to Ship 4 million units worldwide by the end of 2006, where the hell are they? I mean if Gamemasters sig is any indication, they have only shipped a little over 500,000 worldwide. It just dosent make any sense, we were suppoused to be getting a lot more than are out there. NOBODY has it.

The Wii was a big hit with my family. My brother-in-law liked Wii Sports and my 3-year old and 7-year old niece loved Rayman. The 7-year old would aim the Wiimote and fire while the 3-year old would shake the nunchuck to reload. It was really funny watching them play. At one point the 3-year old picked up the Wiimote and was actually doing a great job aiming it properly at the screen.

On my way back to Austin I got stuck in first class for some reason and sat next to this woman who, as it turns out, had been looking for a Wii for her son. She waited in line at TRU but was only able to buy a nunchuck and a copy of Zelda. I said "Sucks to be you hahaha!" Actually no I gave her tips on what she could do to go about finding one.

Care to share? Or do the tips only apply to your specific area?

Oh nothing special really, just about how gamestop should be getting more this week and she should call to find when their shipments will arrive.

Okay, a question for anyone who might know the answer:

In my local Sunday newspaper ads, I noticed Wal-Mart advirtised that the Wii will be available wednesday. Minimum 3 per store, limited quantities, one per customer, blah blah blah.

Anyways, i was thinking about going bright and early to try to nab one, but the problem is our Wal-Mart is open 24 hours, so I really dont know how early is early enough...I mean, how has wal-mart been handling the situation? Will some sort of line form inside the store or what?
