I'm about an hour down 131 from you. (Three Rivers) You might have decent success at Meijer. Haven't heard exactly what their plan is right now but I can give you the run down what happened for the 360 launch. Seems every store is different.
Three Rivers Meijers - Had a line that formed around 8 pm, about 4 hours prior to the console being launched. Good thing is that you got to line up IN DOORS and it was midnight launch.
Kalamazoo Westnedge - Said they were going to do a line but instead did a ticket system. Handed out the tickets on a first come first serve basis.
Kalamazoo Shaver - Had a line like the Three Rivers store.
I'm hoping that Meijers get's plenty so I can score one there for 10% because of my roommate working there. Who knows though. I'm not gonna go crazy if I don't get the system that night / morning.

Now keep in mind the PS2 launch they had a bunch of waiters maybe 20-40 or so. They had in 15 systems if I remember correctly and everyone got a raffle ticket and it was random.... This is 5 years later so thats probably an old way of doing it but it has been done there before...

OK, thx for the info. I actually worked at a Meijer for the xbox 1 launch, and they had maybe 6-8 people in line at midnight and everyone got an xbox. I think it depends on which Meijer you go to. I think i'm going to go to Meijer on Sat night and if i dont have any luck, I'll head to CC to camp.
I heard that CC is getting 10% of the launch allocation and that averages about 95 wiis per store.

I will be getting in my car at about 11:30 this saturday, drive to the local Meijer near my house, and walk to the back of the store. If they have them for sale at 12:00. Great. If they don't, I'll do my grocery shopping. I'm not about to wait, camp or any of that other silliness.

I am hoping this is what they do for the PS3. I have an exam on thursday, so there is little to no way I will be in line in time to camp out anywhere. It's worth trying my luck showing up at 11:30 at Meijer to see if I can win a raffle.

Agreed. I'm excited about the system but not nearly as excited as I was about my 360. Gears and CoD3 will keep me busy until I see a Wii at Meijers or something. I get 10% off and that will help alittle. I was thinking maybe they are gonna have their Santa Bucks soon. Maybe I'll be waiting for that also.
