Yes, they flat out had no Zeldas...and I'm assuming because the game was still in the trucks in transit to our retarded town. The first place we went to, they wouldn't allow the games to be sold until midnight along with the release of the unit (because apparently they're so stupid they can't handle the two different things). The second place we went to, the games were in the glass display cases but they only had Trauma Center and not Zelda...my sister would've bought Trauma but there were no employees around and those who were around looked so lazy and irritating that we were just like "forget this." The final one we went to had the same situation: Trauma Center no Zelda, lazy annoying employees. If the game were nearly sold out I'd be a little more understanding but like I said, it's likely the shipment hasn't arrived yet or they're too friggin' lazy to display it because the teenager/college employees simply find their jobs of standing around and joking with each other just *too* overwhelming.

Anyways, that was an interesting story Beretta. I would've never been able to become buddies with the people in line with me because I simply, sorry to sound mean, see no point in it...I'm more of a "get in, get out, no nonsense" sort of person (not the mob mentality stuff just...no need to make friends in a situation like this). This woman was trying to get all friendly with me and my sister in line just because we were the only 2 girls and all I could think was "Go away" BTW, I can't believe they made you guys wait outside...the Wii line in all 3 Wal-marts were in the Lawn and Garden section of the store, which was inside. So the people in line around here didn't have to freeze their butts off, lol.

But I'm very happy you got the Wii, man. Congrats!
