Dunno why, but now I feel as if there's hope!! We're closer to getting one than ever.. Well me at least.  |
I'm thinking about heading down to Marche Centrale on Friday too, though probably not as early as you lol. You wanna give me a call and tell me if it's actually worth going once you get there? I arrived last time at like 5am only to find out that the last spot was taken at 8:30 the night before -.-. |

Ganton: what are you telling this person?
First of all, I have never heard of anyone being arrested for "solicitating" in front of a store, camping out for a Wii. Worst case scenario, the people working there might ignore you/not let you wait in an inside corridor, but they would never ARREST you.
Second of all, you're still probably going to have to camp overnight to get a wii. Just because Christmas is over, doesn't mean the hype has necessarily died down. It's not like one day you cannot get one, the next, they'll be real easy to. From my experience a couple of weeks ago, there were already 10 people outside of the Best Buy at 8PM, the night before. This is just my personal experience, but I've heard similar happenings from others.
If you REALLY want one, get there 8-9PM, the night before. Worst-case scenario, if no one is there, go home/park the car and rest, and wait an hour or two, and then go check back, and see if anyone's there.
I think, come next month, camping out overnight will be a rarity. But, right now, I think it'll be very similar to before Christmas.

Being somewhat lazy and not willing to camp in the freezing cold, I have been waiting patiently for enough stock to just walk in and buy a Wii. I just happened to be at Rogers Video (in Stittesville, Ontario - near Ottawa) and they actually have a waiting list. I'm number 30 or so on the list, but at least I don't have to drive around now and/or stand in lines. So, for those who don't mind waiting a bit, you could get on their waiting list. I assume other Rogers video stores will do the same.
Good luck.

Got mine today at Eb games in Rosemere, quebec. I went there and there was a small line. Turn out that I got the 8th WII, the last one for today. Maybe they receive some every day.
