Wii preorders start tomorrow at EB Games and Gamestop

Culver City (CA) - Hardcore Nintendo fans will probably want to skip school and call in sick from work tomorrow because EB Games and GameStop will start offering pre-orders on the upcoming Nintendo Wii console. Customers will be able to reserve the new console for a $50 deposit, but they better line up quick because it's first come, first serve.

The ground rules for tomorrow were laid out in an email from management to store employees. Stores have been directed to open at normal hours and have been prohibited from having midnite or early opening hours. In addition, in response to last Tuesdays PlayStation 3 pre-order event, stores must give priority to customers that stand in line.

Some customers standing in line for the PlayStation 3 pre-order were told that the reservations had sold out. Traditionally some stores have given reservations to store employees, friends and high-volume buyers, but management is now discouraging that practice.

"If your store is allotted 12 units for customer reservation, and there are 12 customers waiting in front of the store at opening time, those customers must be given priority to reserve," management said in a letter to employees.

Store also cannot customers to buy other products to guarantee a reservation, which in effect forces a bundle on the customer. EB Games employees in three Southern California stores confirmed that customers must stand in line and extra purchases won't be required.

Nintendo expects to ship four million Wii consoles this year.

===========================

I'm keen but not keen enough to line up for this one. I'm pretty pumped about getting one of these. I think that will be my bday gift if I can talk the wife into it! I think Nintendo because of the price, will be the top next gen system. Sweet, can't wait for this.

I don't think I'll be standing outside waiting to preorder my Nintendo Wii. It's getting cold enough here as it is in southern Ontario and it's only mid-October. You won't see me freezing my butt off, no matter how much I love Nintendo. These people are either diehard or stupid. However, I give them the props they deserve for sticking it out. Good luck to all who sleep outside of an EB or Gamestop. Hope you don't catch a cold.

I already know that. I got an email about it. And I can start ordering it early.
