Ha I called my walmart it's a 24/7 one here's their response
"Hi this is Walmart how may I help you?"
Me, "Yeah, may I speak to the person in charge of the electronics section"
"Yes, one moment"
"This is the electronics section"
Me "Hi, do you know how many nintendo Wii's you will be getting?"
"Well I know it comes out on the 19th, but I haven't seen any paper work on it"
Me "Oh ok do you know if you will be doing a midnight launch?"
"Umm, I still haven't seen any paper work on it"
Me "Oh well ok thank you bye"
"Bye"
Wow, that was helpful, I guess I'll have to wait until a few days before the 19th to know for sure

Uh yeah and I just called my two closest Bestbuys and they have no frigg'n idea what is going on. The people that work there are not only miserable but completely incompetent. I wish I knew how many each store was getting.

Just called my local Walmart, a old lady answered in the electronics department, asked somone else (She thought I said Nintendo V) and she said there will be a midnight launch but she didn't know how many they would be getting.

I think most wal-mart supercenters are doing it. I know I have 3 in the town I live in and all 3 of them said they are doing it. So I'd assume most if not all Super wally worlds are gonna have it available at midnight.

Sorry if this is off-topic, but the Raiders need to kick the shit out of the Seahags tonight so the Rams can stay tied for #1 in NFC West
Go Raidaz.

I live in akron ohio. I have a buddy who works at best buy. I went up there and talked to him about it, he told me that is the number of wii they are getting. He was pretty confident about the number.

Thanks man. I live in New Jersey, 5 miles outside of New York City. I am probably in the most populated area per square mile in the country... which could be a good thing or a bad thing. Good because each store will surely get more Wii's than less populated area, but bad because there is a shitload more people trying to buy one. I am just hoping that everyone in this area hates the Wii...

Haha, yeah I hear ya. It may be wishful thinking but I honestly don't see many people having trouble getting one. If not on launch date the following week. Nintendo is on the ball.
