My friend wrote an entire journal down, and took a copulate load of pictures, so when he uploads them to facebook, I'll put em here. I was 12 out of 81, it was awesome. Also, my friend had to go to long island, and his target had a mini riot. But then he went to TRU and got one.

The release of the Wii is so smooth. Nobody wants to steal it cause it's only worth 250$ and there's tons of them

I got my Wii last night. All the people who didnt have a ticket to get a Wii were giving us dirty looks, and there were only about 2 Wiis left over after everyone with a ticket got a Wii

as stated in another post, I only had to wait an hour and JUST got a Wii

(45th ticket out of 45 tickets). The 15 or so people behind me were pretty pissed, as well as my friends who camped out there overnight

I went to this Wal Mart in Folsom; my step father works right next to the place, & he said there was only 10 people there for the PS3 launch, so we decided I should camp here. I arrived at 12:35PM, & I was the 3rd person in line! Stayed there till 7:00AM, & got a Wii w/ an extra controllers (they where already out of Red Steel & LoZ TP by the time we went to the software...)

And about CircuitCity, I totally agree. Mine did pretty much the same thing, only one of the employees seriously said to me when I asked when the store opened its doors for the Wii, "Ummm... We sold out of that already."

Well, I found out about the Meijer thing the hard way. When they told me about they're system and how it worked and how people already had their tickets, I basically said this.

Anyway, my friends and I met up at Target this morning at 6:45, and I was #59 in line out of 81. The store ran out of Nunchuks before I could buy one though, but I still managed to get out of there with the system, and extra Wiimote, Zelda, and my life.
