Wii-less
November 19th, 2006
I returned home from my local Target empty handed - they had 132 Wii consoles to sell and I ended up two people away from the coupon cutoff point. I did have fun shooting the shit with some fellow Nintendo fans in line and also saw Erin & Nate. Unfortunately it seems like everywhere is sold out this morning (go Nintendo!) since a bunch of shitheads bought them up to sell on eBay. Unless I happen to find somewhere people overlooked it seems I’ll be waiting a few weeks to get my Wii when the stores are restocked.
We should have brought you with us on our continued hunt. Good to see you this morning, and tell your ladies I say hello!
I ended up sticking it out to see if I could get one anyway. The guy in line in front of me ended up getting a coupon from a Mom who grabbed an extra by accident. I spent the rest of the morning with my ladies so by the time I called around looking for one everyone was long sold out. In hindsight I should have went with you guys - oh well I hope the restocks are quick
I did find it amusing to see the people buying Imperial Shuttles (from Star Wars) at 8AM at Target. Those were almost as popular as the Wii (?!?) with several people buying cart fulls of them.
