To find Wii, stalk the UPS man

To get yourself a Wii this holiday, you should not stalk the UPS man, but you should stalk the UPS man. Get it?
So says George Harrison in an interview with Wired’s Chris Kohler today, during which he also responded to that lingering conspiracy theory about fake Wii shortages.
Game|Life:
“Typically, we’d have begun stockpiling console hardware back in August” for the holiday season, Harrison says. “But this year, we were selling all the Wii we could get, and we got all the way through the summer with basically no inventory in our warehouse.” [...] “I don’t want to say, ‘Stalk the UPS driver,’ but figure out when the shipments are arriving in the store,” he says.
UPS drivers, beware. Does any Infendo regular still not have a Wii yet?

A few people I work with are still having trouble finding a Wii for their kids for Christmas this year.

I had been looking since January for a Wii, and by luck found one at Target in July.

I have purchased 3 out of pocket for friends and family over the last 3 months (been paid back for each). I have had my own since last february or so.

I’d like to check out the UPS man’s shipment… If you know what I mean.
November 29th, 2007 at 8:45 pm
I’d like to handle the UPS man’s package… If you catch my drift
November 29th, 2007 at 8:48 pm
I’d like to grab hold of his Wii… If you catch my drift.

I’d like to have sexual intercouse with him if you catch my drift.

buddy ups is a cool guy, iti so a little weird, but over all a pretty cool character.
the price that wii’s are going for right now on ebay, i would be stupid not to buy one to sell. I have had mine since release.

Yes, I’m your Infendo regular that STILL does not have a Wii – or a DS! And I’ve been visiting Infendo daily since its birth!

I had three people waiting in the store for 2 & 1/2 hours for the UPS guy to arrive. Three Wiis.

I found 6 at the local Wal-Mart but was broke or else I would have bought some and sold them but I was broke since our Christmas shopping started in October. I interestingly enough wasn’t looking for one when I bought it. I was standing in line to buy a video game at a local Toys’R'Us when I noticed one just sitting in their glass container and decided to buy it. It’s one of the best investments ever as me and my wife enjoy it.

Just got mine a couple weeks ago (got Mario Galaxy and Super Paper Mario the next day). Already beat Galaxy and now I’ve been working on some VC games (BoF II in particular).
