This morning my girlfriend and I woke up at 5:30 AM and drove over to Target to get in line for a Wii (I wouldn't have dragged her along, but I didn't have my car with me). We arrived at 5:45AM and I was the 27th person, although we had no clue how many Target was receiving. It was surprisingly frigid in San Jose, and my girlfriend ended up waiting in the car the majority of the time (she was a good sport; considering).

Only a few random people arrived behind me over the next hour, and around 7:15 the manager came outside to let us know she had received 56 Wii consoles. There were still enough for everyone, and everyone in line was relieved. Over the next 45 minutes the line size more than doubled, which was insane considering we knew everyone beyond a certain point would assuredly not receive a system. The manager did not pass out numbers, but escorted us all inside in a single file line. We were told that if anyone ran, pushed, cut, or was not compliant with the employees that they would be asked to leave and not be sold a system. They also explained they would only sell one console per person, and max one console per "family" or person paying. This meant that if someone came with their two children, they would not be eligible for three systems (unless the children started pulling benjos from their wallets).

I waited patiently, and before we got to the cashier who had our Wii systems, another employee asked us what games and accessories we wanted. The only thing I needed was Zelda, and shortly after I found myself at the front of the line. Even as I was walking out, more people were jumping into the back of the line. After that I took my girlfriend out to breakfast for being so patient, and went home.

I had dinner plans with my friend so even as I am typing this I haven't even opened my system, but we are sitting here playing Trauma Center Second Opinion at his house. I figure I waited plenty of time for the system so I can wait a few more hours to open mine. I am pretty sure I will enjoy Zelda, and Trauma Center is entertaining. What are your favorite games so far?
