Nintendo Wii, Life sucking

My experience so far trying to get a Nintendo Wii console has been terrible up to this point. First I was unable to get a pre-order from Toys 'R Us. Today, I woke up at 5:00 am in order to go to Walmart and try to get one there (they open at 7:00 am). I ended up being #23 in line and they only got in 20 units. So I immediately left upon finding this out (at 6:30 am) and went with my back up plan. I drove down to the nearest major shopping district which has a Target, a Best Buy, a Comp USA, Sears and a couple other places that might potentially have a Wii. I did a drive by at Target knowing that the line would be massive. It was. There looked like over 200 people in line there, so I kept going. I then drove past Best Buy. From the highway I could see that the line was wrapping around the building, so I nixed that from list as well. I had heard that Comp USA was supposed to sell them, though they would only get a few units. I parked in the lot and there was only one other car parked there with the lights on and engine idling. And there was a wierd but nice old dude waiting at the door. Great. I got out and joked with the old guy that he was lining up already but he said he worked there and was waiting for it to open. I asked the old dude if they carried video games and he said 'oh sure'. Disturbingly, he didn't know what the Wii was or whether they would have it. After a few minutes other people started arriving so we all lined up. I was #2 in line which should have pretty much gauranteed me a console. They open at 11:00 so it would be a long wait. The #1 dude was a teenager who already had a pre-order somewhere but didn't want to wait. There got to be 20-30 people in line which was probably way more units than they would even have. By 9:00 employees started arriving. They went in and ignored us without giving us any information. By 9:30 a woman came out and told us "Sorry, we didn't get any Wii's". With no other explanation. In retrospect, I probably should have tried to get a rain check at that point. Needless to say, everyone was pretty disappointed. As a long shot I drove over to Sears, knowing that not many people would know about them (they open at 10:00). There was already 12 people in line. After waiting until 10:00 we found out that they only had 3 consoles and I didn't get one. By this time Target and Best Buy had surely already sold out of consoles so I was out of options. Interestingly, I heard from other line waiters that Target had apparently gotten 200 consoles so I still might have had a chance there, had I gone there first (or pretty much anywhere other than freaking comp USA). I returned home empty handed and disappointed. I'm hoping the next shipment of units won't be too far away - I haven't see any info about it on the net yet. Looks like I'm going to have to do it the old fashioned way - calling around.
