I’m at Wal Mart right now. The gaming truck comes in at 10 or 10:30.

I am going to constantly go out and pester the HE clerk until I have my Wii. If they wish me to stop asking them every fifteen minutes, then they should arrange to page me over the PA.

That is all. I will update you on the success of my desperate plan.

10:15 EDIT:

I asked the Home Entertainment clerk whether they had received any Wiis today. She said that sometimes they receive them on Wednesday or Thursday, and that it wasn’t a set thing. Which was kind of obvious. What I wanted to know was if they had received their shipment today. If they had, then there would be no reason to keep checking back. If they had not, then there would be. So, yeah. She was a bit of a bitch about that. She didn’t even let me finish the question.

Anywho, I’m nervous as hell about missing out on it. Also, I was looking at ebgames.com and I see they are doing pre-orders for Super Smash Bros. Brawl. How the hell can they do pre-orders for a game that doesn’t even have a North American release date yet? And how can they claim that it will be coming out at the start of June (before the Japanese release, surprisingly)?

It is all kind of ridiculous when you think about it. More edits to come.

10:45 EDIT:

I went up to the HE again and a guy was unpacking composite cables for the Wii. There did not appear to be any systems themselves, just the cables. I’m trying to keep track of whether they have any product in or not.

11:00 EDIT:

From what I can see, they didn’t get any Nintendo Wiis in stock today. Which totally blows. I’m tempted just to purchase Twilight Princess for the Gamecube, but that would be foolhardy. I want to play it on the Wii, since it is one of the few games of merit on that system.

Will continue to wait.
