I was in line but they were sold out really quickly, wasted an hour of my life in line for nothing... Got it 3 months later though, made a ton of phone calls to Target.

I couldn't buy mine on the first game, because they were all sold out in the first hour. People were camping outside.

I waited outside of Best Buy for 6 hours or somethign like that. It was freezing cold. I went with 3 other friends so it was fun. I had a bottle of alcohol in the car I kept running back to take drinks from. So it wasn't that bad at all. :gay2:

I was still in the process of saving up money when the Wii launched. I worked four months at mcdonalds just to get a wii though so I was definitely committed

Nope, I wasn't really interested when everything came out, since I was busy with college. I was in art school at the time for 3D CG. Once I got out of school though, I got tired of my PS2, and thought it was time for a different system. The PS3 was waaaaaaay too expensive, and I've heard some XBOX 360's getting too overheated to the point where it would stop working. So put 2 and 2 together, decided to get myself a wii. Luckily I have a friend who put one aside for me at a Toys 'r Us at the time, because that thing just couldn't be found at gamestop for the life of me o.O
