Why are Wii waiting?
« on: December 08, 2006, 11:23:30 AM »

Yesterday I spent 7 hours queuing for the new Nintendo Wii for my wifes birthday next week.
I camped out at the local 24hr Asda at the Music and Video department from about 5pm with my mate from work.  We got there first and as he drove he had first place is the queue and I was second. They only had 24 in stock and it took until 7:45pm for the queue to fill to capacity that they were turning people away. The staff were very friendly (although some did laugh) and provided us with a free drink while we waited. My till receipt says 08/12/06 00:01:53 as the time of purchase.
Now I just have to wait until next week so I can actually play the think.

As we see, the truth always comes out when we read between the lines.

(Wifes birthday)?

I think not, (your new toy that the wife will let you use) you hope.  :lol:

Well fun.
