Well now am I ever glad I pre-ordered Brawl in June or earlier of 2006! I foresaw shortages way back in the day and checked every week to make sure I was one of the first to pre-order it. I know I must be within the first 10 to pre-order from my local EBGames!
That should guarantee me a copy launch day regardless of Nintendo's lack of manufacturing capabilities. I mean Nintendo has performed poorly as far as providing software and hardware to the masses, but I expected that. Since day one I have pre-ordered any game that I planned to own within a month of launch.
I camped out for my Wii and would expect everyone else to do the same if they haven't pre-ordered their copies yet. Go to a retailer that doesn't take pre-orders and camp out!
Fact is who is dumb enough not to have pre-ordered by now?
