"94 units available.. store opens 6am.."
Lineup outside had officially started.. 1 guy had just sat down.. and was unpacking his bag which included a portable DVD player.. cd's, and a game boy of some sort. It's 3 degrees as I write this.. with a soft wind.. he should do okay as long as he's planned his night well.

My Target is gettin 69 units. I plan to go there after SNL, so 6 hours early. It doesn't seem like the demand on launch day will be as bad as the 360 or PS3, so hopefully I'll be OK.
I would say you'd be fine. At about 7pm this evening, there were only about 30 people lined up outside my local WalMart for the midnight launch.

im going to go at about 3 and see how the line looks, if its under 30 ill wait around, otherwise ill have to figure something else out.
got a 10% off coupon for target, so im aiming to get it there and save 30 bucks with the wii and zelda.

78 at over here at my store, I've never been in the whole console craze thing so it's sort of weird. Our store opens at 8, so I'll probably get up around 4 and head down there. I'm not too insane over getting one, but I figure there won't be many people there around that time. So far there are two people camping out, I don't think there will be much of a demand except for the hardcore Nintendo heads, but I could be wrong. Sadly enough I think I might try the EBay thing out (selling), even though I have a really bad feeling that I won't suceed, but only time will tell.
I'd forget about the ebay thing. Once eveyone finds out how available they are, I doubt you could make enough to justify your listing, closing and possibly paypal fees, not to mention your time. Just look at the PS3. I saw a 60GB version go for a few dollars over $800 today. The price is already diminishing...
EDIT: My Target had 90
Lucky for me I have a preorder so no camping...

i think a lot of the lines for the wii, are pissed off sony fans who couldnt score a ps3.
