25 deg F

I got my Wii.

I was well prepared I think. Armed with the knowledge that a Toys’R’Us about 25 min away had Wiis for the notorious Black Friday, I suited up in my scrubs (since I might have to go straight to work), my ski-bib, and my winter coat and gloves. The wait at 0315 seemed like no biggie. That was until someone made the first move to get out of his/her car and wait at the door. After braving 30 min in the 25 deg F cold, I was ready for my Wii. I was 5th in line.

In contrast, the people outside BestBuy were nuts. Camped out overnight since 2200 in a line wrapped around the building complete with people selling hotdogs and cocoa.

My first game is Trauma Center: Second Opinion accompanied by Zelda and Rayman. Score!
