I pre-ordered my Wii at GameStop (#3 of 18). But had some time to kill next to a Toys-R-Us while waiting on Friday night. I inquired at the R-Zone about pre-ordering Wii that I had heard would start on Sunday. She told me that I could pre-order right then. She said that she had 5 for Friday, 5 for Saturday and more for Sunday.
They were not doing it with PS3 (or I would have at least pre-ordered one for resale).
wow, you can tell how much a difference it makes by accepting pre-orders for the wii and ps3 on a sunday instead of taking ps3 on monday and wii on a friday
