Not that I have time, but...

Everyone else has got more Wii than me. :(

I've been left in the cold too :( I've been trying to find one of those systems for a while now, but it's just impossible. If I ever find one, I'll give you a call.

In all honesty, I don't know if I can afford having one more thing eating up my time this semester. But I still want one, if only for the new Super Monkey Ball. ... And I'd probably get the old ones too.

This post was really only inspired by two near-consecutive posts on my friends list, from people that I think have never met each other, saying "I got/wenttoapartywith a wii! It was so kewl!"

Wii don't have one yet, either. Wii're thinking about doing the late-night gig tonight, though no decisions have been made yet.

I haven't got one, nor am I quite crazy enough to line up hours early in a snowstorm and 20 degree weather. Sorry.

I don't have one either, largely because I am opposed to both waiting in line and waking up early.

I like Lucas' tactic of calling all the sketchy stores. It almost worked for me too, and still might have. We'll see.

Drop by Toys'R'Us, Kmart, or WalMart mid-afternoon. Unlike Gamestop and EB Games, who only get 3 at a time and sell them in minutes, the big stores get shipments of 15-20, and they typically last 2-4 hours before selling out. If there's a convenient store on your way home, drop in every day and ask - odds are you'll get one before long, since most stores get them in twice a week. It doesn't require waiting in line or getting up early, and it also doesn't support artificial inflation of demand, which is what you do when you get one at Best Buy or Target, who have been stockpiling Wiis since Christmas. Not that that would have stopped me, but it would at least have given me pause...

The way you phrased that sounded much like that video...
"Every one else has had more sex than me"

Yep!
