Wii fans in Washington state queued up for the Wii at 10pm last night, only to be told they weren’t going on sale until eight this morning. A dispatch from the front lines:
RikOnTheGo: I am in line at the Everret, WA Wal-Mart. Repeated calls to them said they’d be on sale at midnight, and to be here by 10 PM.
RikOnTheGo: Now, at 10:41 PM, they’re saying they won’t be on sale until 8 AM!
RikOnTheGo: This is for the wii, btw.
RikOnTheGo: Police are now here.
RikOnTheGo: There’s some pretty irate customers.
RikOnTheGo: I am leaving now.
RikOnTheGo: Whee
