I knew that GameStop gets their shipments around noon, so I figured I might go by and check during my lunch break. I didn’t occur to me, however, that there might be people already at GameStop waiting for that shipment to come. I discovered this when I called GameStop about half an hour before I went to lunch. GameStop wasn’t even sure that they were going to get any today, so those people were waiting on the possibility of getting a chance to buy a Wii. I called Wal-Mart and the lady succinctly told me they didn’t have any.

I went by GameStop anyway on my lunch break and the UPS truck was a couple of stores down from GameStop. There was a line inside and I heard the manager say that the 4 Wiis that came today had been sold. I actually saw two people walking out of the store with them. I decided to wait a little until the craziness dies down before I continue looking for a Wii. The guy at GameStop seems to think that things will die down next week. He even suggested that I try Wal-Mart. The manager seemed really surprised that people were already waiting outside the store when he got there this morning. I jokingly said that I was going to pay somebody to stand in line for me while I’m at work and he thought that was funny. I ended up buying Alias – The Complete First Season and then I went to get some food.
