So I took friday off of to try and get a Wii.
The guy at gamestop told me that the only way to get one was to be in the store when the UPS guy arrived, between 10am and 5pm.
So I went down, got some japanese food, had a beer, and parked myself in the place. Played a little Twilight Princess and PS3 on the demo machines.
The UPS guys came and went several times, and it was pushing 2pm when I get a call from my step dad. He got a call from a game shop by his office, the Wii's had just arrived and they were holding one for him.
I told him to call me back when he had it in his hands and hung up. Right then the UPS guys say that's it, no more deliveries that day, and no Wiis... but then my step dad calls me, he scored.... bought some games and the extended warranty, all that, like $400 all together, and I didn't have to do it. rox.
So the boy isn't even expecting that 'Santa' will be able to get a Wii (I told him that since the japanese were heathens that santa has a hard time getting japanese electronics for christmas)... also picked up 2 others toys on friday, and completely filled in his christmas wish list.
