The Onoratos have been stalking Wiis for like 6 months. They've stood on lines more than once to try to get one, and weren't able to.

Lou finally got one the other day at Walmart; but, not before standing on line for 4 hours the previous day waiting for UPS to show up. He gave up and went back around 10 or 11 the next day when UPS was supposed to come in and finally got one. They only received four.

It's just that demand is extremely high worldwide. They are spreading out their shipments to many many countries, and doing so as fast as they can.

Or, if you believe the conspiracy theorists, they're withholding shipments to keep demand high and make bigger money hats.
