Woot! I got my Wii-order in! (Nintendo Wii Preorder)

This morning I was checking Toysrus.com when I realized that they were not allowing Nintendo Wii preorders from their website so I decided to check Amazon.com. I had already signed up to receive “notification” when this item was to be released, blah, blah, blah.

Ok, Long story short. When I was checking the site a button popped up to “Preorder This Item” where the notification box on the right hand side usually exists. So I thought it was my imagination so I refreshed the page and the button was gone, but now I was curious. So I sat for a few minutes did a few searches and checked again. Sure enough it popped up and this time I put it in my cart and checked out. Woot! I got my preorder.

Only thing I can figure is Amazon is doing two things. 1) They are re-releasing preorders for people who have canceled, and I got lucky or 2) They are administering a slow leak of new preorders, and I got lucky!

Either way it rocks!

Here is a pic from my email confirmation from today!



The dude abides.
