My Wiiiii day!

Got to Walmart at 4:30am. Was the 19th person there, 30 Wiis to be had. All were accounted for and tickets were handed out at about 5:15am for the 7am opening.

5:30 a kid shows up that was really disappointed that he missed out on the tickets at that store, as he had to go to work early and couldn't go anywhere else. He offered me $300 for my spot in line. I took the money and ran. weeeeee

Headed to Sam's Club and sat in line (3 other people) for about 20 minutes but decided I didn't want to hang out in the cold. So I went to Toys R Us, and was 27th in line. They had 98 in.

Got my Wii + Zelda + Rayman + Remote + Nunchuck. And $300 CASH. LOL. Such a great day. And I'm wiped.

Yeah why bother keeping them if you can play all the old games on the newer consoles.

there was a LOT more demand than I expected.. I wasn't really planning on going to get on line until about 6:30 or so, but Todd called me at like 4am to tell me that the place he was at was almost full...

So I have a wii, too.

I love wii sports!

I'm getting used to Zelda. I haven't played much Nintendo in years, so I'm not great with the C and Z button stuff.
