Who's going to Meijers to get their Wii???

Is your store doing first come first serve or a raffle system? I've gotten multiple answers so I don't know what to expect. Thanks

I am. You should call them. They way the meijer near me is working, the raffle is occuring friday night/sat morning at 12 am. They did the ps3 raffle on wed/thurs night.

The one closest to me did a first come first serve.

what do you mean DID??? It already happened or are you talking about the gamecube launch?

I just called meijers and the employee said they are passing out wristbands. So I guess that means no raffle????

My bad, I have PS3 on the brain.

I was going to try to buy my Wii at Meijer's. The store didn't say anything about a raffle, so I assume it's first come first serve.

I was told around 20.

I went to Meijer two weeks in a row to ask about the wii. Both times I was told that it would be first come first serve. Last week an employee told me they might get 20 to 25 wiis. Today I went and talked to a manager. He said they're doing a lottery now because of what went on during the ps3. He said they had people lined up at 8 am an entire day before inside the store and they want to avoid a situation like that with the wii. They're collecting names at 11 and having the raffle at 12. This was at the Bloomingdale, IL Meijer. He also wouldn't tell me how many wiis they were getting. I asked if there would be any point in showing up before 11 and he said no. This is my first post. I've been reading this board for a couple of weeks now and decided to pass along this info becuase I've learned a lot from reading all the posts here.
