[quote name='Demolition Man']Why do you need 3 Wii's exactly for?[/QUOTE]
Good question. I got my Wii a few days ago from an acquaintence in the area with this mindset. I guilted him into selling me the Wii for cost (I gave him my used copy of LEGO Star Wars II for the 360 game for incentive, so I guess it was a little over cost), so in the end he did the right thing--from my perspective at least.
It's funny to look at craigslist and see all the panic sells come in as Black Friday approaches. They were starting at 450 on Monday and now they're at 300. I offered a number of people 295 on Monday and about 50% of them have written me back, saying, "My buyer backed out, are you still interested in buying at that price?"
I still can't believe how many Wiis retailers moved on the launch day. Nintendo really had a lot of the media and a few big retailers (TRU in particular) on their side with the Wii.
I feel bad for those of you who are going to have to stand in line with the crazy moms tomorrow morning to get your Wii, but I'm confident that all of you will get one tomorrow, even if you don't stand in line. You may have to do some driving, but it seems like between BB, CC, TRU, and the EBGames/GameStops alone, there were a lot of Wiis being withheld from the shelf between Monday and Thursday. I doubt EB will have much of a crunch at their 7 AM open, and I am positive that they have decent stock at each store (well, two managers told me they did--they could have been right about their store only). In any case, good luck!
