Actually, We Bought A Wii Within 2 Hours Of Looking

We don't know what the internet is going on about. We decided on Tuesday that we were going to get a Wii for the family for Xmas.

After nipping onto the internet briefly and checking our reader we were horrified to read that Nintendo were expecting MASSIVE SHORTAGES and you would need to engage in fights and schemes in order to secure our tiny console for the folks.

So "bugger it" we thought, lets give Gamestation a go. Rang them up and asked to go on their reservation list, they were happy to oblige but warned us that there was no guarentee that we'd get it before xmas. We then hopelessly went to lunch.

Upon arriving back to our desk we found that we had a missed call from the happy lads down at Gamestation. One quick ring back filled our hearts with joy as we were told we could come collect our console. The only drawback was that the greedy buggers forced us to buy 2 games with the console.

So that timeline in summary:

11:30 RANG GAMESTATION
12:30 WENT FOR LUNCH
12:50 MISSED CALL
13:00 RANG BACK AND SECURED CONSOLE

So there you have it. No fights, no trouble. Its like the shortest Jack Bauer incident ever, an hour and a half. About the length of a movie.

What's all the fuss?
