Wii launch

My roommate and I both bought Wiis on launch day. Here the glory and adventure of launch is recorded for all.

This is the day before launch; they have been waiting since 8:30am. These are the hardcore people. I aspire to be like them

I meant to get up at 4:30. See comment above about my aspirations. Hopefully there are still some places in line.

It's cold out.

Target is the place. It seems BestBuy, Meijer, and Wal-Mart are already swamped. We end up 13th and 14th out of 24.

It's freezing, but everyone is having a good time. Out of these people, two are getting Wiis to sell later.

We're queueing up for the ticket handout.

Wait a sec, is this another PS3 line? Why else would a cop drop by?

Nope... this sure looks like a Wii line.

Yay! The tickets!

Target handed out some popcorn and soda. However, a real breakfast is needed.

Off to Burger King. They provide the breakfast of choice for all discerning Wii fans.
