How long did you wait in line for your Wii?

[destro713]

I waited about 1:45. I got the third-to-last out of 30 tickets.

*drives to a rural town an hour away on Black Friday*
*pulls into GameStop parking lot at 7:15*

"Do you have any Wii systems?"
"Yeah"
"Let me get one, an extra remote, an extra nunchuck and a point card"
"k"

I knew demand would be less in smaller towns, but good god. Right after I walked out, 3 more people walked in and asked for it. I guess I just did good by getting up early.

Black Friday I was planning to camp out BestBuy, but people already started lining up the Wednesday before.

So I decided to camp out Gamestop for a Wii from 11:15p to 8am. I was 6th in line and 4th to buy a Wii.

[asianxcore]

Didn't have to wait in line. Got a pre-order.

Problem was that I had to work 8 1/2 hours on launch day, before I was able to pick mine up.

[deadlite]

Lined up at a wal mart at 4pm and was 5th in line

[musha666]

Waited 'til 11am launch day for the DHL guy to deliver it to me. Was making lunch at the time so my Wii actually had to wait for me.

[Corvin]

12 hours outside of Target. It was 30 degrees outside without the wind chill. I was 14th in line out of 42 systems.

[cleaver]

Amazon, baby!

[himsahealer]

I preordered so I didn't have to wait.

[botticus]

Well, I preordered, but I waited about 3 or 4 hours for the preorder.

[psunami]

about 55 minutes. Got the 4th from the last ticket at my Best Buy.

[jezebelseven]

Well, I preordered, but I waited about 3 or 4 hours for the preorder.

Same here. I then waited night of the release for 3 hours at the EB preorder party, and waited in line about 20 minutes while everyone got checked out.

[Kuros]

I preordered. I walked into work, hung out for a while and waited while others got their systems. I got mine and left.

[furyk]

9 fucking hours. I also had a pre-order from Amazon, but like a complete moron, I camped.

[DomLando]

Had my preordered so did not have to wait either.

[rperez1025]

About 1 hour and 15 minutes. Got to Nebraska Furniture Mart about 7:45 (they opened at 9) and was 56th in line out of 70 systems available.

[FriskyTanuki]

Just short of 2 hours at EB for my preorder. Got to the mall about 10:20 PM or so and it took about 15 minutes to get my Wii while waiting in line.

[ai-ig-get blah]

14 Hours outside Target to get my launch Wii....went with my Brother, Brother's friend and my Dad. We were #s 1-4. Our store had 72 and people thought we were nuts. Not so nuts when we got first dibs on games and controllers though. There were only like 10-12 of each controller. Poor people in line after #6 didn't stand much of a chance at those.... I am in Minnesota and it got down to 10 degrees overnight, and that's before windchill....

The really crazy part is that I had one preordered from Walmart.com which was in transit to be delivered just 3 days later. I just had to have it right away :)

[crowbb]

About an hour and 15 minutes. Woke up at about 5:15 on Black Friday. There's a Gamestop about 5 minutes away so I figured I would head over there after I grabbed some food. Got there 5:45 or so and was 2nd in line. They had 8 and most people on line showed up within 15 minutes of the store opening.

[Sir_Fragalot]

Got to EB Games at 9:30 opened at 10, picked up my preorder and a Zelda guide (first to walk out with a Wii).

[lilboo]

This poll sucks. There should be broader options. I waited 12 hours.

[SpazX]

Preordered from Amazon. No wait in a store, but a two-day after launch wait for it to get to my house...

[Oops! I did it again.]

14 hours for Wal-Mart's midnight launch. It was cool, they had a TV and everything set up.

[oleander]

I pre-order, so I didn't have to wait in line. But I apparently have ADD or something, so I didn't get that far in the pole before voting...

[Rocko]

14 hours at Target, got the 6th system.

Could I have come there at 7AM and gotten one? Yes.

If I had known that, would I have? No.

The company for the 14 hours was fucking awesome. Met a lot of good, fun people.

[TexTuna]

My Wii waited for its buyer for 13 hours - but that buyer wasn't me. I basically paid someone $75 to wait in line. Worked for me anyways.

[prot0type]

About 5hrs at BB when it was advertised 2 weeks ago. Luckily the weather/temp was bearable and the people in our little group, first 6, made the time go by quickly.

[FlipSide]

Amazon, no waiting in line..got my Wii a day b4 launch, didnt pay tax or shipping :) plus I got it for $5 less than retail har har..

[andjuan]

12 hours in front of target. I got number 38 of 39. Woo hoo!

[thorbahn3]

Got in on the amazon pre-order. The the only that sucked is it arrived Monday morning, seconds before I was headed to work.
