Well I just got back from Gamestop. I am so happy. I did like you guys said, and got an hour early before it even opened. Heres how my day went.
So my grandma takes me over to Boerne (its a city) and theres a Wal-Mart and Gamestop right next to eachother, but seperated by a ditch. Anyways, we first drive by GS and see that it has these bars inside it, kinda like a jail. I guess they use those to keep out the lamers. So I'm like "Well, there not open yet. Lets go to Wal-Mart and do what we need to do", so we go there.
I go in there and its freezing, I'm literally holding myself and my teeth are chattering like mad (I'm skinny >.>), and I can't wait to get out of there. Turns out all we went there for was for some Donuts for my Great-Grandma. So while were there, I head to the game section, as it may be possible they have a Wii in stock. So I go, casually looking in the glass containers (Nobodys playing, because its about 9:30 and nobodys there, kinda creepy), and see PS3's and Xbox360's, but no Wii's. So I start to head out, and my grandma says "Shouldnt you ask an employee? Just because there not in view, doesnt mean there not in stock", so I say "Nah, I doubt it. Its Wal-Mart after all".
We then head back to GS. And wait, and wait. Finally it opens, and I go in. "Welcome to Gamestop", some employee tells me. "Hi, I came here yesterday, and another employee said you would be getting Wii's today?", and the man replied "Well, were not sure when were getting them, but I'm certain it will be today", so I browse around the $9.00 and Under Bins, and see nothing. I strike up a conversation with him. (I could tell you all we talked about, but I dont think anybody here really cares) People leave, People go. Then it happens O_O
A UPS man came in, with a small brown box. I'm thinking in my mind "pwease, pwease be a wii ^^", and the employee said "HEY, the Wii's are in!", yay me. So after waiting for about 6 - 8 people to check out, its finally my turn to checkout. Theres another person next, and the employee said "Are you ready?", and I said I needed to get some games. So I go outside, and get some games to trade in. I come back, with the bag o' games. I lay them out, and he asks for my edge card, I give it. Then a Man with his daughter comes in, and they both look real nice. He asks if they have any Wii's left, and the employee tells him theres 2, one would go to me (he points at me) and the other to the man. The man shouted with joy, "FINALLY, WE GOT A WII!", I'm thinking this guy is nuts.
So as I'm waiting for the employee to total of the used game trade in values, the man gets impatient. He asks me nicely if he could get ahead of my in line (Remmber, its just me and him :/), and I'm like Umm I dont know. He takes out his wallet and gives me a $10. I step out of the way, "Here you go", I say.
So yeah, the man gives me $10 for him to cut, if he would have waited maybe 3 more min, he would have been out of there.
These are the games I traded in (I have no idea what most this stuff means, there layout is weird on the receipt).

Also, all were disc only and heavely scratched. Those last 2 games were from that Tropicana Contest, they were new to >.>
So if you read the other posts, yesterday GS was willing to give me $30 for those 2 sealed 360 games, and today over $45. Whats up with that?
So my Wii ended up costing me $186.80, and I reserver Metroid Prime 3, Mario Galaxy, and Smash Brawl. They said they werent accepting reserves on Smash Brawl after Saturday, as it was the most anticipated game. He showed me the list of well over 200 reservations. Wow.
Now I'm happy
