Noon, Saturday:
I drove past a bestbuy on the way to a mall, I see about 8 people in line. My inital reaction ... oh nowai.

3pm, Saturday:
Driving back from the mall, the line grew to about 15.

7am, Sunday:
I wake up, decide to head out and look for one. I go outside and realized it ice stormed the night before :lmao:

I head back to the Bestbuy area and see 100 people in line. Thanks to the Wii tracker, I know Toys R Us had 89 to sell ... WITH 8 PEOPLE IN LINE.

So, I lined up at 7am ... got in the store around 9 ... got out of the store in 20 minutes ... while the 1st dude at Bestbuy from SATURDAY was still there.

The Wii tracker was wrong. It said my Target had about 50. They had 33. They said that the WalMart had 35(I think), they had 20.

weird. the numbers were right on for all of the stores in my area, including all the targets, circuit citys, and toys r us'. i think they got all their information from employees, or someone on the supply chain. so maybe someone just gave faulty info.
