Thumbs up "Wii" got it

Hooray! My sister finally got herself a Wii. We both didn't expect to get one so fast but that's probably because she got it unexpectedly...

This customer of ours from our old restaurant comes in and eats at our new place...so he's a regular (but I don't like him because he's married to a Japanese woman and now he thinks he's the authority on all things Japan...). He happened to see my sister playing her DS about a couple of months ago and started chatting with her about games and stuff (which was nerve-wrecking for her because she doesn't play games so now she regrets ever playing her DS that day ). He tells her that he doesn't have a Wii either and has been calling retailers everyday to see if they get it in stock (I feel sorry for the retailers).

Last Friday, he came in and told my sister that our Best Buy would get a shipment of Wiis on Wednesday and asked her if she'd like one because he'll buy it for her and she said yes. When Wednesday arrive, he was too late so he didn't get one. But then...

...today, he went to the next "large" town for business and he decided to check some of the stores there. Lo and behold, this one shop had 8 Wiis in stock! So he picked one up for himself and my sister.

So yes, she has one. We're planning on playing a little tonight but must take turns because we don't have an extra wand. I didn't expect the thing to be so heavy....now all I have to do is save up $$$ to get mine....

Just thought I'd share.
