I went to a Best Buy in New Orleans at 8:00 (thier special holiday opening time) this morning to purchase a GPS which was on sale for my brother and noticed that they had Wiis in stock. A worker was at a table not far from the front door giving them to the patrons who wanted to purchase. I called a few of my co-workers, my fiancee, my mom and a few other people to see if they knew anyone who was in need of one and nobody could think of any at the time so I purchased the GPS and walked out (was in store for maybe 10 mins max and I seemed to be the only person in line WITHOUT a Nintendo system in my hands). i got to my car and my mom called me back saying that her neighbor was looking for one so I turned around to go back in and guess what...THEY WERE GONE. I asked when they expected more. He said they had 75 this morning, but the total they had in stock was 250 and for me to ask one of the managers when the'd be putting more out. I don't know if they'll put more out later today or if they'll break them up each morning up until the weekend. Since me, my fiancee and my mom already have Wiis, I wasn't in a big rush to get one.  I don't think this was readily advertised b/c a LOT of people in line with me were just as surprised as I was that they had them. Many of them were going in to make movie/gps/appliance purchases or to return something and noticed a line near the door and naturally wanted to know what it was for
