On Saturday, I went to a couple of BestBuys near me and both assured me that there will be "enough" and that thre's no reason to camp out the night before. As I left both stores, neither had people camping outside. 
I believed them and planned to just show up early on Sunday, say, around 7AM. (they open at 9AM, but starts handing out tickets at 8AM)
Fortunately, I couldn't get much sleep, so I ended up waking up at 4AM. I knew I couldn't fall asleep again, so I headed out to BestBuy. Imagine my surprise when I pulled into the BestBuy parking lot at 4:30AM. There were already nearly 40 people standing around. It was 30 degrees outside.
I started to get nervous and decided to continue to the other BestBuy, 5 miles away. Oh... no... even more people waiting there... I turned around and went back to the first BestBuy. Got out of the car ASAP and joined the line as #43.
By 6AM, the line had 75 people. It grew to 120 just before 7:30AM, when the BestBuy employees arrived for work. The crowd cheered and clapped...
They came out at 7:59AM and started handing out the little tickets. Mine had 043 printed on it. A sigh of relief(plus I literally need to relief myself... so I headed to the McDonald's next door... ) The line was cut off at number 76. There were 50 or 60 more people after #76.... all very disappointed. Yet more people continued to arrive.
At 9AM, they started letting people go into the store, 10 at a time. I was a little worried about getting the games i wanted, since there are 42 people ahead of me. By the time I got into the store, they only had 3 more copied of Zelda left... I grabbed one and picked up my Wii. Paid for it and walked out the front door, feeling like the luckiest person in the world at that momemt... A bunch of people were taking group pictures holding their Wii boxes!

yea my walmart, got 20 Wii's, 14 Wiimotes, and 7 nunchuks, kinda a sad number for the Wiimotes, i was hoping for two, but i just got one to be fair to the people behind me in line, i was number 4, so figure let other people get one too. now all i need is component cables.

Oh smokes...
I just called a Wal-Mart, Target, Sears, Sam's Club....
and they're all sold out, and two of the stores say they won't get another shipment until after Christmas.
I thought this was a Sony-dominated area ;-;

compared to the sounds of gunshots and pepper spray
on Sony PS3's launch day, the Wii's launch day is like
a silent revolution. (pun intended, since Wii was code
named "revolution")
No gunshots, no fights(I think),and lots of friendly chats/laughs while waiting in line.
In other words, Wil is the next best thing to world peace.... hehehehe...
