But as part of the Canadian minority, I must once again ask the obligatory question as to whether or not this includes the 9% of us here that are north of the border.

I'm all about getting my Wii 10 hours earlier than I normally would be. Works for me.

I know the turnout will be different, but that doesn't mean there will probably be some crazy jackass on the prowl that wants a Wii... *cue dramatic music
