I picked up my wii on Nov 25, one week after its release. It was also the last one in stock at the EB games. Wasn’t expecting to have one in stock and I was debating whether or not to get a current gen console too. My friend still hates me for getting a wii four months before he did! XD

I preordered my Wii, there wasn’t much of a line for the preorder at Gamestop. Then I picked it up at midnight on Nov 19th

Good times…

I paid someone else to stand in line and scored my Wii on week 2 of release.

Jack, my story is nearly identical. The only difference is that my savior store was Costco, and luckily my friend was a member at the time.

Also, I didn’t realize you were so close to me! I’m in the Cambridge/Somerville area.

My wife somehow got one online in a pack (extra remote, 2 nunchucks and Zelda) and gave it to me for Christmas. I almost crapped my pants since I was expecting a little sheet of paper that said ‘A Wii when we can get one’.

I was the first person out of the store with mine at midnight. Oh what a happy day that was.

I’m digging the obscure reference (although Spillane isn’t that obscure). “I don’t have fans. You know what I got? I have customers. And customers are your friends.”

it was a dark and stormy night when my phone rang. i knew who it was before answering; ‘you know how to use a ds mic, don’t you?’ she asked, ‘you just put you lips together and blow’. we both knew she wanted to get her hands on my wii. but only i knew that a night as cold as the devil’s heart stood between me and that eventuality, that and whoever was ahead of me at toys r us. i checked my hip holster for my best friend- and extra ds battery, and realized that jack had inheritted the spirit of mickey spillane.

Ugh, I stayed around in the Cambridge area and my Jeep wouldn’t start back up at the Micro Center. My friend picked me up and we zoomed up to the North Shore to check out all the stores. NOTHING. We went back to Cambridge and got my Jeep tower. I’m putting off repairs for a week so I can get a Wii on Wednesday.

I’m so digging how this ended
