You can charge the batteries when you have power.
Alternatively reduce the number of batteries and chargers to less than 1 set per computer and pool the leftover $$$ to get a solar panel to power a charging station

This is why Most Retailers Have it at $699.

Granted SonyStyle still has it at $659, but that just means they're screwing over their retailers when people go to price match and the retailers have to sell bellow cost.

In Canada, Toys'R Us had the Wii for pre-order a few weeks (months?) ago. Their website no longer lists it as being available for pre-order, though.

It's quite a risk for TRUS to create a new online store from scratch, but they've got some good people who've had several years of experience working with Amazon. I wish them the best of luck.

Yeah? look at http://www.toysrus.ca/ . How hard it could be? like 2 weeks of inventory sync? Ok it is little bit more complex, but if they want they can get set up and become operational in less then a month. toysrus.ca is running on WCS and IBM can sell them hosting service, rent hardware and provide all the know-how.

I think that they do not need luck, they already got all they need.
