So, just a short note to say, no Wii for us - we got to WalMart at like 9am yesterday, there were twenty-two people there, who informed us the store only had 20 Wiis onhand (the extra two were waiting for someone else to chicken out of waiting all day). So, we didn't even bother, we weren't going to wait 15 hours for a "probably not".
---and in the end, I'm glad, they all were getting fucked over. I was there after work for a bit (coworkers were driving me home, and wanted to stop to get something), and they were STILL standing outside. I went over and asked what was going on, they said a corporate letter came down and all this shit and EVERYTHING about the procedure was suddenly changed, like the whole thing was supposed to go through the lawn&garden section now?? and they hadn't been handed numbered tickets, as they were supposed to have been, and it was 9.30pm and they were STILL outside. That's fucking bullshit, it was COLD yesterday, and changing the rules like that is fucking ridiculous. And then of course new people are showing up and trying to cheat those that've been there all night, making things up... grrrrrr. (I sympathize so strongly because I've had crap like that pulled on me in concert lines, when I'd spent the night.)
So uh, yeah, very glad that at least the people outside were told how many Wiis they were going to be able to get, so the rest of us didn't wait all day for nothing.
