Raincheck for Wii

Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime has worked up a deal with Gamestop to issue rainchecks, or the Wii Certificate Program, on Dec 21, 2007. So what does this mean? It means for one day, you will be able to get one of the hottest gaming systems. There is a catch though. In order to get it you will have to pay $250 and they will issue you what looks like a dvd case with a picture of Mario on front. There's more, you won't get the system until Jan 25, 2008. So no Wii under the tree this year. There will be a limited amount at each Gamestop store and you can only get one per household.


If you want one, expect a long line and lots of angry people. I hope that the stores are prepared for this and able to handle the crowd.
