I got my Wii on launch date.  Luckily I preordered mine at EB store by the time I went down to the store there were a huge line up outside the store for ppl wanting to buy the system.  I just walked pass the line into the store and no need to line up at the cash register either cuz they helped me right away and walked out of the store with my Wii and I was in the store only for few minutes.  When the people in the line saw me came back out in few minutes with the wii in my hand without quelling for it.. they all starred at me with envy.... SO SWEET.
