Default how hard is it to get a Wii

doesnt seem like it was as big of a deal as the PS3, I kinda wanna pick one up but I dunno how likely there would be any in stock anywhere. Or was it a pretty mild release?

Around town here, I know all of them were spoken for at ~6pm on Saturday at the very latest. So it's probably going to be difficult to find one, but I'm sure not impossible. I've heard rumors of another shipment Tuesday or at least in time for Black Friday.

son of a bitch...I went to a couple places, and ended up at Toys R Us. Lady in front of me in line was like "you got any more Wii's?" dude was like "yup, last one"

I almost punched her in the head.

oh well, I hear another shipment is coming in tomorrow/wed so maybe I will check it out.
