Default Wii Story

Alright so me, my cousin, and my friend are in line at the tustin/irvine market place target to get our Nintendo Wii systems. my friend and i go at 10pm on the 18th and see theres only like 35 people. we come bak at 2 in the morning today (19th) and there are now like 120 people. time passes and it becomes 6:30 am. the manager comes by and passes out free t-shirts for everyone and everyone in line gets one (amazingly). then it becomes 7 and the ticket vouchers begin to be passed out. me, my cousin, and my friend end up being 131, 132, and 133 so we were pretty happy. these two guys go to the back to see if everyone gets a voucher and about 20 ppl are sent home. As they walked back they told us a little boy was crying his head off and his mom was trying to comfort him on the way to their car. my cousin decides to not get a Wii and we all decide to give the ticket to that little boy who was crying. my friend runs over to the mom and gives her the ticket. the little boy jumps up and down and thanks us all while his mom begins to tear. that was a pretty kool feeling. of course walkin out the store wit a Wii was a sweet feeling too haha.

is it true that all the Wii systems in the US were sold before 11am today (nov 19)??

That's pretty nice. But even if you missed this one, wouldn't you have another shot in a few days?

This is the reason why these get hyped up so much, because of snot nosed brat kids who always get what they want!
