No, the other retailer is selling them. In that case amazon is only the market place, like ebay.

^you can fedex me the cookie then

I'll pm you with my adress : )

Sorry now that the holidays are over your cookie is being shipped by boat, not fedex, and all of our January cookies are preordered, and we have a big cookie release in March, so it will take at least a 2 months to start stocking your house with cookies. If you prefer we can have leo-j hold it until September.

Well played, lol.

There is no such thing as a console war. This is the first step to game design.

My god ... Nintendo could make so much money , if they could actually suply shops with their consoles ... until the end of generation , I bet that Nintendo could have sold at least 15 million consoles , if there would have been a decent suply ...

I don't think Nintendo are really stockpiling, but they are releasing consoles in different regions... Japan sales are doing very well and will continue to do so because of the AAAAA game released at the end of the month there, starting next month Wii sales should increase in NA as well in anticipation for SSBB.
