A fool and his money are soon parted. I see no problem being the one doing the parting.

My sister bought two in NC yesterday with no problem--I was chatting on the phone with her when she did it. My brother bought one after playing it in a bar in Charlotte on the way home about a month ago too. If you need one let me know and I can ask her for you (just don't expect ME to actually go out and look for that crap).

Sheesh...there goes your chance at being the office Santa this year.

Me - I'll stick to playing hardball with adults, and adult products. Scalping Wii's during the Christmas season, ends up screwin' the kids during the most magical time of year for them.

But hey...whatever floats one's boat. A buck earned with a cold heart spends just the same, right?

Wii's are kind of lame I realized. The games are weird and gimmicky and not really very good, the graphics and hardware are a generation behind.

Now that PS3 is so relatively cheap for how much technology/power you get it looks pretty attractive.

Oh so some kid has to pay an extra $100 for a usless game console, I'm crying really. Or they can wait a few months and get it for half price when it goes on sale.

While the family that were sponsering at our office asked for fishing rods so the dad could take his son fishing. I bought them fishing gear so he could take his kid fishing.

Luxury goods like game systems are fair game, no one needs them, its capitalism.
