My wii story(again)
So basically its the friday before last June 15th. and I call Toys R Us on 42nd street in Manhattan. I asked them if they had the wii and to my surprise they said yes. (Mind you, this is about 11 am while I am at work). Knowing that I wouldnt be able to make it over there while I was at work, I knew I would have to wait until I got off to get the wii. So I called them every half hour to see if they still had wii's left because I didn't want to waste my time going over there. When I called at about 5:45, 15 mins before I was going to leave, they said " We have some left, but not much." I was like "oh no." I flew over there as fast I could, making it there at about 6:30. These tool'd @ Toys R US, had about 100 wii's by the time I got there, and I'm all breathing heavy n stuff while the cashier is like "who told you we were running out." Anyway, thats my wii story. Right now I have accumulated 4 controllers, 2 nunchucks, paper mario, wii play, zelda, mario party 8, and of course wii sports...Anyway, good luck to everyone else out there trying to find a wii. If your in NY, check 42nd street!
Casually walked into my local Gametraders and went to the counter.
"One preordered Wii please" i said
"Why certainly sir"
"Thank you kind fellow"
And away i went with my Wii

- I was watching the E3 2006 Wiivideos.
- Went to the website of a Dutch toystore and pre-ordered the Wii.
- Got an email saying my Wii was ready to be shipped a couple of days before the launch.
- Confirmed that I wanted a Wii
- One day before the launch they delivered my Wii.
I went to Toys R US to check if they had any Wiis(this was 2 days after Christmas). I didn't see any, so I was like "F**K it, at least I can still get TP". There was a guy ahead of me in line who was returning his 360 because it broke. The cashier said he couldn't return his 360, because they were out of the core 360s, then the cashier said "But we have some wiis in stock". I was like Thank God!!. I asked for the Wii, and he went all the way in the back to get it lol.
But yea, that's my story
