Everyone is shopping for products at a deep discount on Black Friday, but me and my brother just want to buy a regular-priced Nintendo Wii (say NO to the inflated prices on eBay). Being disappointed of last Sunday launch, we had checked several stores to see if they will have the Wii back in stock soon. Only Toys R Us and Gamestop/EBgames were firm about Friday. I know Toys R Us open at 5AM today, so we just got there a bit after 4:30AM. It was freezing cold outside and worst part is we waited 30 minutes in the cold just to find out they don't actually have any Wii in stock. We were pissed and rushed to the Gamestop store in the mall nearby. We got there 40 minutes before the store open. There was about 11 people in line but the guy who works at the store said they only have 10 Wii in stock. It seemed kinda hopeless at that point, but I decided to stay in line and asked my brother to wait at another video game store in the same mall. It turns out the store only has 8 Wii available and some people ahead of me are friends or family who only purchase one system, so I was able to grab the second last Wii in store. We were that close from losing another opportunity to buy a Wii thanks to Toys R Us.

I was shopping with my daughter at ToysRUs this past Friday, and they constantly said they had Wii in stock. I guess it's not that popular on the east?!
