Found out my layaway/photo/site to store center is only open 9am-10pm sometimes closes sooner. So they will start taking preorders for sure at 9am on Sunday. Won't be doing it at midnight since they have no one to run the layaway center since no one really goes to that Walmart after midnight here.

Just got back from my 24 hour Walmart.
2 guys were sitting in fold-up chairs back in Layaway.

Okay everyone, PLEASE let others know what happens with your midnight preorder/layaway situation. Bring your cell phone! If you are getting up early, consider checking here before you go out.

worst case scenario:
if there are stores that allow layaway at midnight, there literally might be NO preorders left at 8 a.m. You could be first in line and get nothing! Also, pick a Wal-Mart that is faster/knows what they're doing better then others as if there is a real limited amount of preorders available the speed of the layaway person could come into play.

That's worst case scenario of course, you'll probably be fine =).

edit: of course, this is also assuming that Wal-Mart has a certain amount TOTAL and would potentially presell 50 at one location and 0 at another ... if it's per store, never mind.

Well shit.. I was planning on getting there around midnight.

Okay, post your phone number and I'll call you?

I just called my local Walmart looking for info. The lady attempted to transfer me to Electronics, and after five minutes of rapid rings, she picked up again. She said she'd page them to take the call and put me on hold, but after another five minutes of no answer, I just hung up.

Tried calling a store that's a bit further away, and the same exact thing happened.

Are the people in Electronics just so sick of the phone calls that they're not picking up the phone anymore?

They hung up on me twice.....

Calling Walmart is the most frustrating experience ever. I called them all evening last night and they never pick up. I only got through to 1 last night and they still couldn't patch me over to Electronics. I was finally able to get through to Electronics/Layaway at 2 stores this morning.

Nice trolling jerkass.
We are preordering. Walmart is my preferred store.

I might would head out to walmart in the morning but the town I live in now is about an hour away from where I will be living around launch time.

When the Wii launched back in 2006 my wife and I were grabbing some late night snacks at Meijer and there was about 20 people lined up in folding lawn chairs or just sitting on the floor. This was probably around 10 pm. Thankfully I had preordered at gamestop.

I called my local walmart and the lady said preorders won't start until tomorrow at 10 am

Oh, I did... several times. I want more, though .

My rural Ohio store confirmed layaway 9 AM. Now, I'm wondering when to get there.

Any idea on the #'s of U's that will be available for PO? I know the smaller the area, the smaller the # but I'm curious.
