Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!
After 12 months, numerous phone calls, several weekend huntings, and in incredible amount of frustration, I have done what seemed like the impossible:
I now own my very own Nintendo Wii.
The adventure began Saturday afternoon.
I went to Best Buy to grab a Gaming Headset for voice chat on World of Warcraft (you’re welcome, Ack), and while in the checkout I got the fairly standard “Did you find everything you needed today?” question from the clerk, which I followed up with “Yeah, unless you have a Nintendo Wii stashed in the back somewhere.”
He paused, looked around, and then whispered “They’re getting in a shipment tomorrow morning. We’re not supposed to tell anyone but I overheard them talking about it.”
My eyes went wide with happiness, and I thanked him profusely. I left and immediately got on the phone to my neighbors and friends ML & X and told them about it, and we planned on a group effort to Best Buy at 9:30am Sunday morning.
At 9:45am we were in line outside the Best Buy when the clerk came out and announced “There are 14 people in line, and we have 10 Wii’s in stock. Sorry.”
Not ready to give up, we went across the parking lot to the Circuit City where we discovered (along with the crazy talkative lady that had been there since 5am or something), that they only had ONE to sell.
At this point we were getting frustrated and a little defeated, so we decided to make one more pit stop at another Best Buy across town, and lo and behold we were able to each grab one. I spent the entire day yesterday playing Wii Sports, Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and Metroid Prime 3.
The best? The three-person Wii Tennis tournament.
