Yes, I finally broke down and realized that the only way to get a Wii would be to go to a store early in the morning and stand in line. So, I chose Target based on my web findings of who would have them on Sunday. Ron and I arrived about 7:15am and were about 9th in line. I hoped that the store was going to have more than two of them! As my feet grew colder, I found that the folks I stood in line with weren't derranged freaks. They were a combination of parents, college students and e-bay sellers who understood that the reality of life was that you have to stand in line to buy the Wii.
As we waited, the line got a little longer. I wondered if I would have to run past a crowd of disappointed Wii seekers in order to get my prize to the car...
At five minutes to eight, the store staff took pity on us and let us in early. (Or maybe their clocks are fast - anyway, we got in!) They seemed to have a good number in stock, so I don't think anyone in line was disappointed (I didn't exactly wait around to find out!)
And a good time was had by all!
