    Well, I live up in Canada(whoo!) and the demand is fair. But, the demand for nunchucks is insane. For example, in a shipment they send 6 Wiis, 5 controllers, and 2 nunchucks. Also, I did the sleepover thing and got a Wii on the first day :)

    Ok... so I just got back.

    The store opened at 9:30am, and I got there at 8:45. There were 20 in stock to begin with, and by the time I got there, the line-up was well over 60 people long!! Seriously, people in the line were there since 4 in the morning!!!

    Goddamn, leave some Wii's for people who HAVE a life to get!!

    How does the browsing work? Like, how hard is it to type sentences and stuff? Since there are USB slots in the back of the Wii, can you connect USB mice/keyboards?
