not totally related, but this thread reminded me.
I was in a game craze, which is relatively small store sort of like EBGames/Gamestop, and this older couple comes in asking about Wii Play. Well, they were really asking about the Wii in general.
When the store employee told them it cost 250 and they had them, they were like "oh, that is the same price as that other store" and walked out.
The whole time I'm thinking how stupid they are, and good luck finding one next week with the way this system is selling. Who knows, Nintendo may have just enough stock to make the vast majority of shoppers happy, but the sales of this console are insane, and the demand is even more insane.
