This morning my sister and I woke up at 5:30 AM to wait in line at Circuit City for a couple of Wiis. It was 34 deg Fahrenheit outside

We got there at about 6 AM and there were already 18 people in front of us, which is funny, because at the Best Buy across the shopping center we went to.

At about 7:30 AM we were handed vouchers 19 and 20 out of 33 total, and at that time some people offered my sister and I $300 for our vouchers. We laughed and declined. We're gonna make more money on Ebay. haha. There were about 80 people in line by the time they opened. Most of the excess were people hoping that they'd somehow still have Wiis after they sold out :-\

Funny note, when they handed out the vouchers, they had to make sure it was only one per household, so they were checking ID's of the people who were gonna buy. My sis, being a minor didn't have an ID, and I saw this coming, so I gave her cash. So just a note to people who are bringing family members.

Afterwards we went to Sears to see if they had any left, and to our surprise, they hadn't received any in about a week. I was under the impression that they were one of the stores Nintendo was gonna push into. Oh well.

So overall, after two hours of waiting, we ended up with two Wiis and very cold hands. Well worth it.
