I was in a small town near Austin, Tx. at a walmart. I had originally planned to start at 12:00 but woke up and called at 10am to see if the line had started just incase. They told em they had 20 units and there were already 10 people in line i was like AHHH. so i called another walmart nd they said they were giving out vouchers and u could leave and come back at midnight. so i jumped in the car (i hadnt even brushed my teeth yet) and rushed down I35 at 95 mph, called on my way and they were like ya we handed them all out. $%^#$%&^@$&^ so i headed back at 90 mph trying to make lost time. i ended up getting showered and back at the original walmart i callled at 11:30. there was only 1 group of people that had been there since 9am in line geting a total of 2 wiis. omg so walmart lied to me. so i left and put some shorts on since it was kinda of warm, and got a coat incase it got cold toward midnight. got back by 1230 it was still just them. so i was 3rd in line. only a few people came within the next 3 1/2 hrd. but around 5pm the rest of the people came and there was 20 people in line. mabye a few more. it was fun i had a portable dvd player and movies. and my friends in line ahead of me had a tv, a ps2, and a bunch of other crap. what was really funny was the people that came an hour b4 launch or a few mins b4 midnight and waited in line for..... lol, i ended up buying zelda and red steel. i played red steel a little the controls are WEIRD and hard to get used to. i hope i like it in the end.

Thats SWEET... I didnt realize that i needed to line up for the Wii, I just assumed every store would have like 50 but..The stupid walmart idiot said that the store opened at 10am and i got there at 9:00 the store was opened and all the Wii were gone. But good job on gettin yours. Im still seraching.

I also waited in line at WalMart. They only had 36 units. Both of the Target stores near me had 120 units each, but I was waiting with a friend of mine and he wanted to wait at the 24hr WalMart. It was fun, the other people in line were cool, we played some DS and had a good time.

I bought Zelda but didn't play it yet because my wife and I spent several hours trying out Wii Sports. The Golf is my favorite, followed by Bowling.

Wii baby!

The Wii sports title seems very fun; but my spouse and I haven't fully experienced it yet. We spent a lot more time on Trauma Center and Zelda. This has never happened before....... My wife has easily put three to four times more play into the system than *I* have. It's just insane to think about. I have such a hard time getting her to enjoy games, but she just clicked with this one instantly.
