My lucky day!
Went out this morning again to try to get a Nintendo Wii. Because the rumor was that there were going to be a lot at Target and Best Buy. I got to Target at about 8:05 (5 minutes after opening) and they had already handed out vouchers for the 85 people that were going to get Wiis from them today. Bugger. I went directly to Best Buy (that they thought opens at 10am) and the word there was that they had only handed out 20 vouchers, and that that was all there was, but you were welcome to stand in line if you’d like.
So, I decided to go back to Best Buy at 10am when it opened. I got there about 9:50, and took a place in the short line. A guy got in line behind me and I asked him if he was here for a Wii. He said that actually, he had just got one, and that he was here for a controller. He said how he and his wife had gotten up at 5:30, split up, went to 2 different Targets, just to get a Wii that they had promised their daughter for Chirstmas.
Well, it turns out that this guy ended up with 2 Wiis, and said that he was going to go and return one when he was done. I promptly jumped in and said that I’d buy it off him at cost. He agreed. I went out to an ATM, came back with some cash, and went home with a brand new Wii. Go figure.
So, if you’ve got one, and you want to exchange friend codes, send me an e-mail, and we’ll get that all set up, but I’m not sure exactly what it buys us. I’m still on the look out for a 2nd controller, since it’ll be awesome for 2-player Wii Sports. Hopefully I’ll just be able to go down to the store and get one in a month or 2…
