I'm assuming "trying" meant you failed. Riot, your such a fanboy, lol.

Wii - 21 hours on launch.

5 minutes for the Wii at launch.

The NES I had as a kid, and the Gamecube and Xbox I have now are all second hand. I bought my PS2 from a store last year, and naturally there was no shortage.

I got my Wii on 21.12.06, 13 days after launch. All I had to do was walk in with my dad and pick up our reservation, which might have included my dad pulling a few strings somewhere, because they weren't normally giving out reservations when supply was so short.

I'd love to camp out for something, but with my interests and the small gaming scene in Finland, it doesn't look likely to happen any time soon.

3 hours for my Wii. I got the last one in the store!!! =)

Walked right in and picked it up. Didn't even have to pay for it.....my brother did.

I got woken up by a 5 am phone call on Wii launch morning, my friend was in line at a Wal-Mart that opened at 6 and said there were only 10 people there. I got to the store around 5:30, waited half an hour, bought their 18th Wii out of 20. As I left, the person behind me was buying the 19th, and someone ran in the front door as I walked out the front door to buy the 20th. I got very, very lucky. :) I had been to 5 stores the night before that all had lines longer than their inventory.

I ordered on Amazon and received it on 27 Dec 2006. Had to pick it up from the post office though, that was quite cold.

well i was lucky with wii i went at my wal-mart around 2 in the noon thats when they got theyre shipments right away i got one then three people after me also bought one

I waited 16hrs, at wii launch date...damn you Target!
