I'm in a toss up, due to a vacation starting on the 19th. Not sure if I should find a midnight sale, or preorder so it's waiting for me when I get home....waiting is NOT an option for me.

I'll do an online pre-order here. My Cube showed up on the Friday before GCN's launch.

So you think if I preorder it I might actually get it before?? Who do you order through??

So I guess I'm waiting for when I can get the best deal. In any case, I'll have it by the end of the year.

Same. Did it for the GCN and the DS, so the plan is to do the same for the Wii.

It's possible. I might have gotten lucky since it was shipped on Thursday and arrived on Friday because I was in the same state that EBGames.com shipped from. If the distance were any greater, I might have had to wait until Monday.
But stores were breaking the date anyway... I don't think it'll be terribly difficult to get a hold of one. Worst case scenario is you go to a Walmart or another 24hr store before midnight on the 18th. Best case scenario, the date is broken on Friday and you have a weekend of opportunity before you leave.
To students, I recommend planning a 24 hour virus NOW on the 17th, to beat the after-school rush.

Lottery system is bullsh!t. It should be first-come-first-serve.

Whatch them say "Your free game...oh yeah.....it's.....ummmmm, WiiSports!!"

There's a lot of time between then and now (and I'll be borrowing Zelda from a friend at some point).
