don't put too much into that. the guy that does site, noted that it just a script that auto updates based on some formula he came up with. when some official number is put out he makes adjustments.

Yeah, WTF. I got there around 7:30 not expecting there to not be many people at all. About 50 people in line and only 18 tickets. Retarded.
I drove by CC afterwards because they apparently had 15 in stock. They open at 10:00, and there were already 20 people in line.

Just called Walmart, and they said they'd have them on the 6th.
Why is Walmart not releasing Wii's, if they have them in stock? Is it some weird accounting scheme? Contract with Nintendo?

I got one at Circuit City this morning.
I got to Target at 6:30am and at 7:30 they handed out 19 tickets. I was 21st in line. Quick drove to CC and was 13th in line. They had 23 in stock and handed out vouchers at 9am. Some guy had been waiting outside CC since 2am. Too bad the wife wants to wait till Christmas to give it to the kids. I want to play TODAY. The targets in my area sold theres during the week and most had 5 or so units. Toys R Us had 39.

The sales guy asked her if she wanted another nunchuck and she said no Make sure your wife knows what to get if you send her out Oh well she just likes to play sports so we are good for now. I just need to find the cables for our ED TV.

When demand does not outnumber supply. God only knows.
