Dealing with the ‘Wii’ Madness
I can’t believe the madness with the Wii Consoles. Weren’t these things out last year? Why is it so popular this Christmas? I thought I was buying my husband’s gift early when I went to the store to purchase a Wii the first week of November. To my surprise the salesman said they were ‘SOLD OUT.’
I thought, OK, I’ll just come back next week when the new shipment comes in and just pick one up, but to my dismay they were ‘SOLD OUT’ again. I tried calling all around town and no one had a Wii.
So I got up early one Sunday morning and stood in line at the Circuit City at 9:00am (one hour before they opened) and I learned that people were there since 6:00am. They received vouchers so that when the store opened at 10:00am they were able to pick up their Wii’s. This was unreal! I have never chased a product and this will be the last time. No Wii for me this Christmas. I hope I can find one for my husband’s birthday in April.
