No More Lines Ups
Good morning everyone hope a good weekend was had by all.
I went Wii hunting with a couple of friends this weekend to see if I could increase their chances of procuring a console. While I was in downtown Toronto, I was walking along Dundas St when I noticed people milling about in front of the Best Buy. No line this time, just a bunch of people hanging out in front of the store. Well the journalist in me never sleeps so I went over to see what the fuss was about.
It was the same deal as last week, Best Buy had 15 Wii Console’s for sale and had already given out tickets. The people were standing around because there was no need for a line anymore but I asked the Best Buy rep for more info. He told me that this is the last of the pre-opening line-ups. From now on Best Buy will be putting all their Wii Consoles on the store floor. Will this increase your chances of getting one? That remains to be seen but at least the playing field should be levelled instead of stay at home mom’s and people with no jobs having the advantage. Why are they buying Wii’s when they have no job anyway its called priorities man! Personally I think the idea of lining up on any day except launch day is rather silly but hey it’s just another example of how the Wii is unique.
Well, to all those who are still trying to get a Wii, I wish you good luck and happy hunting. You could also just go out and buy a PS3 I hear Best Buy has plenty of those.

you could, but cummon. you will never fully achieve the euforia experienced playing a nintendo wii if you just sold out and got a ps3. playstation is yes, and awesome machine and not to be underestimated, but nothing in comparison to the wii
