Wii-thdrawal & Holiday Panic
It's no surprise to anyone that Wii is sold out. Personally, my humble abode is still Wii-less. I haven't managed to snag one yet, and the hopes are slim through the New Year. I had enough trouble getting a hold of a DS Lite for my little brother for Christmas, surprisingly unavailable as well, despite NOT being something that's very new. I grabbed it on EBay for about $200 with the expedited shipping. Not terrible considering.
I attempted to get Wii on EBay as well, but realized that $500 to have it now would be retarded. My older brother has actually been struggling more so to get his hands on the Wii console, waiting in lines, and striking out every time. The last report I've received from him is that he waited on an 80-person line at EB Games to discover that they only had 7 consoles available. The frustration grew and he started kicking things in the store, yelling at people. He's 25. This Wii-thdrawal is taking its toll on folks it seems. See, I told him to pre-order back in September, why no one ever listens to me I have no idea.
I've got my 360 and my PSP, and I'm going to be happy with that. You won't catch me waiting in lines for no reason. That's all for now. The search continues...

I was lucky with my work schedule and was able to place a preorder at GameStop the day they started taking those. Otherwise I might be in the same situation right now.
I can't believe that the DS is virutally sold out everywhere. I had to resort to Costco (and they unfortunately make you buy a package deal).
I'm thinkin that must be in part at least due to the New York effect. A lot of people I know who are putting more than a passing effort towards getting a Wii have got one.
