I was starting to chew me nails over it, but it turns out one store has 40, another has 20, yet another has 20, and the one I'm going to has 63 on hand at the moment, and is expecting 42 on their truck tomorrow afternoon (105). the two stores with 20 have 20 pre-orders, and 20 extra coming in on top of that. There's 6 more stores in town that will have them, but I haven't bothered to call.

I think I'm gonna line up around 3 or 4am sunday morning.

I'm not obsessive enough about video games to wait in line like that. I'll probably wait a while before getting a Wii, or any other console. (hell, I might be just as likely to get a PS3 once the price goes down due to the availability of gcc and OpenGL on the console, assuming that they won't cripple homebrew, and that libraries such as SDL do in fact make it to the PS3)

I'm going to sleep in and casually stroll into Toys R Us a little after noon.

Hey.  Me too.  Maybe I'll see you there.

No.  Wait.  Stop.

That whole different Toys R Us and all....

:completes the smiley trifecta:

I figure I'lll just rock-up when the store opens, flash my preorder and walk out with Wii in my hands.

I think our ToysRUs turned into a BabyRUs or whatever they call the baby store.

I'm probably going to stand in line at fred meyer.

I'm getting mine at 12:01 am hopefully.

so, what game are you guys going to be getting with your Wii? 

I'll be getting Excite Truck and raving rabbids, (package deal I didn't have any choice in the matter) but I'm going to exchange RR for Zelda if they have it.  I'll also be getting an extra wiimote.

I'm hoping I can get 3 wiimotes, 3 nunchucks, and a classic controller. We're having 8 friends over the thanksgiving weekend...would be fun if everyone could play.

Hopefully the games and wii points are easy to come by. (just want to get zelda and excite truck...maybe madden next weekend)

Component cable is already on it's way...should have it monday.

The guy I'm going with said the line was 4-5 at our Target.  We're going to trade off holding down the fort, I'm brining chairs and blankets.  Yay for lines!

Signing off for now, there may be updates @ the store if my laptop gets a signal.

Wow, you must live in a place with more stores or with people not caring as much.

Well, a bit of information changed a few things.

My Fred Meyer's is having a midnight launch.  Since I'll be up anyway, I'm heading on over.

They'll have 55 units and they aren't allowing any camping.
