I stood in line at our local wal-mart for 6hrs to get a Wii. I was #23 of 30 lucky enough to get one. I bought Zelda & Ultimate Alliance with my system. Ultimate Alliance is so so. Zelda is a wonderful game. Swinging the controller around to attack things is actually a lot of fun, even after several hours of playing. I really enjoy this console and I definately do not regret my purchase.
The wait wasn't anything special. I sat in a chair in the garden center armed with my DS for entertainment. I'm really glad I brought my heavy coat with me because it was defiantely cold. Two people sold their seats during the last hour before midnight. One went for $150 and the other for $200. The two guys who bought the seats said they had to get their hands on 2 more systems because they had already pre-sold the consoles for $700. I guess cutting into their profits was acceptable that late in the game.
