We're here in either one of the best or one of the worst places on the planet, depending on your perspective—Times Square in NYC. The Wii launch party is set to start in about 3 hours, and by my estimation there are at least 1,000 people lined up. Word on the line is that there are 5,000 Wiis inside the store waiting to be snatched up, so there should be a lot less violence and bloodshed come midnight compared to what we saw earlier this week with the PS3 frenzy. Check

evening.

I wish I had $250 to spend on the Wii. I live in New York City, I could have gone and bought the Wii! My friend went to the store and bought it early, because he had the money. The problem was, though, that there were no more Twilight Princess games there... He kept talking to me, telling me that there were 7,000 Wiis there, and everyone will get the Wii, even in the days after the launch party.
