Game blogs are reporting that Wal-Mart will have Nintendo Wiis in stores tomorrow with at least five systems guaranteed for each store, according to early peeks at the retailer’s Sunday circular.
Given that many Wal-Marts in our area are open 24 hours, that means the systems will be available a little earlier. Try midnight. Tonight.
A phone check of several stores reveals that some will be taking names on a list in their electronics department, while others will ask shoppers to line up outside the store to await their chance at the $250 game console. Check with the electronics department for the store in your area if you want to know what the procedure will be.
If you’re in the market for a Wii, happy hunting tonight.
