EDIT: wii preorders today, who preordered?

I NEVER preorder, but I did preorder a wii just now. I wouldnt have, except that the gamestop is about 50ft from my work. That, and all my coworkers were already going down to preorder.
The clerk said they were expecting about 50 Wiis, and they had about 30 of them preordered at about 10:30 when i got there (they open at 10). There was a nice little crowd waiting when i got to work. This IS a pretty busy area, so i suspect that most people will be able to get one on launch day, but some will have to drive around a bit to find one.

I got my Wii preordered. I was 1st in line! WEWT! My eb only had 10, so I'm glad I got there early.

I preordered a Wii 2 months ago I also ordered Twilight Princess. I'm looking to preorder Final Fantasy III DS but my gamesstore has no release date set yet.

AGGH! I missed it! They sold out at 32... Well there's always plan B...

-Super, who needs to come up with a plan B.

You know, there's always the old-fashioned way of camping out at the store for an hour or 2... heck, you may not even have to do that. This will not be like the Xbox 360 was last year.

Yeah, the guy at GameStop said that if I come early on the 19th and if they have more than 32, than I can get one at launch day. Which isn't as crazy as it sounds because it's a Sunday and I don't have school.

Is there anywhere else that I can preorder for a wii I don't want to wait for the 2nd shipment

Walmart? My friend said you could, but only when they're in stock. So it's more like reserving than preordering.

I'm pre-ordering tomorrow. We wanted to go today, but there was a huge amount of traffic (at least 2 hours worth), so we didn't go.

Went to EB, they were out. Toys 'R Us doesn't take preorders.

I think EB/Gamestop is the only place that takes them. The reality is, a preorder is not really needed. Personally, I'm planning on driving from Wisconsin to Minnesota to what I think is probably the biggest Best Buy in the area. Probably get there at least 4 hours early and camp out. There is also a Best Buy in Eau Claire (also less distance than from the Twin Cities) but I don't think it's all that big.

Anyway, the point I'm making is that if you didn't preorder, just camp out, do it old-school. You should still get one on launch day.

HA. Yeah right. They're all out. It's not like they're restocking preorders today! (Or are they?)
