No Wii for me
So at 7am i arrive at my chosen Target. What do i see but a crazy line of about 70 people. I circle twice to prove what I saw. I knew they only had 60. I say alright, I got to the Target that had the largest allotment. THey are getting over a 100 Wii's and there were about 300 people in line! Damn, so i head to Circuit City. By the time i got there they already handed out vouchers for 51 Wii's. People were willing to wait for 3 hours in hopes that some of those people with vouchers wouldnt return. Nuts, so I left. Then just for the hell of it I went by Best Buy and saw the line that circled around the building and even went up a staircase. Crazy Wii'ers.
Hope others had more luck.

Sick: a friend of mine got to Best Buy at 10pm in anticipation of their 9am opening.
Sicker: There were already eight people ahead of him. Not so suckage: he did get one though

My brother and I waited 25hrs outside of a target for ours. (Though I did leave to go to a concert and had a family member tag team it for me)
