Usually you should try calling multiple best buy's/Target's. And i guess its a bit stereotypical to say this, but if you get a guy on the phone who sounds like he's in the 16~30 age range he'll be a lot of help and will answer your question as long as you keep them simple and brief. I called around 3 different best buy's until i got on the phone with some dude who was really chill and told me a lot of info. The first thing you should ask is "do you know when your next shipment of Nintendo Wii's is coming in?" If they say no, then say thank you cuz they won't be of any help. If they say Sunday the 17th, you can ask how many (you probably won't get this info cuz they probably don't know either) and/or what their camping policies are. Like i said, short and sweet helps because you don't want to waste their time. Hope this helps a bit

Well, I am camping out with a group of about 4 or 5 guys Saturday night. Our local GameStop basically told us they did not care if we camped or not. Do any of you know about starting a list to keep the line organized and if so would we need to coordinate the list with the store or what?

Anyhow I was at best buy a bit later and ran into one of his employees and he told me yah they have to hold them till Sunday, they have a contract to do that with Nintendo! SO once again he lied. Im tired of their attitutdes, he was like yah my manager will never tell anyone when they get them. Also the best buy door greeter was an ass today when he said yah we dont have any and i was like are you sure? The UPS semi truck was backed up to your unloading dock, he smarts back i know cause im good. I said you honestly dont have any clue do you, he was like whatever, I said uh huh cya. SO it seems they are all holding them back till Sunday. Target, EB games for sure and possibly Best buy as well. Ill be there, hope this tip helps yall!

An update, I talked to the Semi truck driver tonight at work, he told me he delivered alot of them yesterday but then said they are the biggest assholes at that store. He had told a friend driver who needed it for his daughter that he had delivered them yesterday and best buy straight up said they didnt have them and didnt know. They get mad that the UPS driver is dropping them times of when he delivers them! Guy was so mad that he told them screw off and said he was cutting all business he buys from them because they treated him so bad. He has some kinda housing business on the side and was buying all electrical stuff from them but he said he cancelled all orders from them due to the way he was treated! So I was right, they are all punk asses, if they would just have said, look we are putting them out sunday morning, i would have said thank you sir and walked away, but now I dont feel so bad about being an asshole when my driver told me he delivered tons of them yesterday!!! SO now for SURE Best buy, Target, and EB will be putting them out sunday!
