Wii Launch Part Deux or 3 or whatever
I ventured out this morning in search of a Wii for my brother. I knew that stores like Best Buy and others were getting shipments today, but I didn’t know what to expect. My friends James and Kevin were with me and as we pulled up to the local Best Buy; there were almost 30 people in line. We quickly parked and decided to give it a shot. Between the three of us, we were 28-30 in line.
I was pretty sure our local Best Buy wouldn’t have that many systems, but we decided to wait anyway. About 20 min. before the store opened, some Best Buy employees started handing out tickets. Heavens to Betsy, there were 30 TICKETS! It was ama-za-zing!! I called my brother and told him the great news. Now, I’m off to deliver it. Have a great Sunday!

I waited for a Wii on December 17th, me and my mom woke up at 4 AM to go wait in front of Best Buy. Being the optomistic kid I am (sometimes) – I didnt expect there to be so many people there. But boy was I wrong. I was number 26-28 in line (cant remember) and around 8 AM the store handed out tickets. They only handed out 21…and guess what…these greedy families like got 3 tickets each, it’s not even fair to us. I would’ve gotten one if all these damn families didnt get 2 to 3 each…it’s just screwed up. So I called up my older brother (he’s in the air force) because he told me to do so if we got one or not, and I told him the bad news. So, to make me happy he went on Ebay and bought one for me…for $500… $50 shipping…and it made me happy and also sad because he just spent that on me. I will never stop being thankful for that :)
So my mom bought me the 3 games: Zelda, Red Steel, and Excite Truck…and later on after Christmas my grandpa said I could order some Wii Remotes & Nunchucks so I ordered two of each…but still havent gotten any of my family to play yet ._.
BTW – if you need Wii Remotes, Nunchucks, Classic Controllers, etc. just go to Nintendo’s Online Store. I got my Wii Remotes like on January 11th, shipping was only $7 for UPS Blue and Tax was only $7 something (depending on where you live…I live in Texas)
So yes, im glad you got your younger brother a Wii and im glad my brother did the same for me ^_^

Ugh, I got to our Best Buy at like 8:00, but there were already 42 people waiting there, so me and my friends passed.
Nintendo really hit the jackpot with the Wii, more people talk about how hard it is to get one than they talk about any of its faults.
Oh well, maybe I’m just bitter.

Yeah, I went to a local bestbuy and got there a bit late. They had a total of 50 Wiis and I was number 51 in line :(. Ohh well. I’ll try during the next shipment.
