I remember meijers in canton michigan did a raffle for the PS2, for 360 they had chairs set up with xbox 360 premium & core written on them. If you had a chair at midnight, you got the system. that seemed like a cool idea to me. the raffle system is so lame. at least with the chairs you know how many they have and people didnt have to guess how many theu are getting.
with that said, i already pre-ordered 2 ps3's and a wii. ill never wait again. I did the overnight wait at target for PS2 and 360 and while it was fun its getting a bit old.
anyway, good luck to us in MI getting a PS3 on launch. wii shouldnt be a problem.
