Same deal here, I posted so in Bod's  B2G1 thread in the Ninty forum. I went to the nearest TRU in Columbus OH (still ~45 minutes from my home) Sunday evening and the Wii aisle and new release case were pretty much wiped out. I went there with dreams of GH3, Strikers, MP3, and some other games I'd missed, but no dice. I did score Fire Emblem, BWii, and RRR2 on one puchase, then bought Zak & Wiki, NFS: Carbon, and Monkey Ball on another. This afternoon I logged onto TRU.com to see if I could get the new releases that weren't in stock at the brick-and-mortar, and TRU.com shows all the hot titles as being out of stock as well. I did manage Sonic & the Secret Rings, RE 4, and MK: Armaggedon out of the $29.99 price range online, but that was it. Should set myself and my son up for Christmas pretty well (9 games in 2 days -- $100 worth free).

The cashiers in the video games dept said the line started up at 3:30 am Sunday morning. By the time my wife and I got there (around 4 or 5 in the evening), the employees had just given up leaving the security case locked. There were still plenty of people there anyway picking over the scraps, and there was one woman there with a stack of 12 or 15 games, virtually every single animated movie/shovelware title in the $19.99-$29.99 range.

Insanity.
