MSNBC: How to catch a Wii
Some of you will go to great lengths to catch a Wii.
In response to my last column, I received hundreds of e-mails from readers eager to share Wii-hunting stories. Some of you stood outside big-box stores in the pre-dawn hours. Some of you called retailers every day for months, checking on shipments. Some of you got lucky. And some of you gave up.
“I tried to buy a Wii for my three nephews, Couldn’t, so I bought them a PS3,” wrote Bob Lobsiger, of Omaha, Neb “Cost me double. Wii’s loss, Sony’s gain. Stupid on the part of Nintendo. There should have been ample Wiis for the holidays.”
