Apperently Gamecrazy, a store found in some Hollywood Video rental stores, is taking reserves for some Wii games.
Source: GoNintendo
Ant Bully, The Avatar: The Last Air Bender Blitz: The League ‘06 Call Of Duty 3 Cars Chicken Little Disaster: Day of Crisis Disney: Meet The Robinsons Dragonquest: Swords Dragon Ball Z Tenkaichi 2 Elebits Excitetruck Fire Emblem Happy Feet Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, The Madden ‘07 Marvel: Ultimate Alliance Metal Slug Anthology Metroid Prime 3: Corruption Need For Speed: Carbon One Piece Open Season Rayman: Raving Rabbids Red Steel SD Gundam Spongebob: Creature From the Krusty Krab Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz Tamagotchi Tony Hawk: Downhill Jam Trauma Center: Second Opinion Wii Sports
Personally I think i'll just wait untill it comes out and make a mad dash to the games and the Wii itself.
Reserving sort of takes the Sport out of it. (almost litterly)

Yeah, I wouldnt trust those stores that have things pre-ordered. You end up waiting longer. The FYE in my area is pre-ordering PS3s and Wiis, but its when they get them in, so they wont sell their first ones when it first comes out. So, you'll end up waiting months for your pre-order.
If I can I'm gonna do what they did with the xbox 360s. Buy one when it first comes out, keep it unopend for a couple of days. Sell it on ebay for big bucks.

Remember, it was all my idea. But one store probally wont let you buy two Wii's at the same time when it first comes out. So you would have to go to another place. But that place would probally have a long line, so you would want someone else to go there early. If one of my parents wont do it for me, I'll just buy one and deal with not having a Wii for a while. I'd get a big prohit so I can buy the Wii, more remotes, and a bunch of games. But remember, we're not the only ones thinking of this.

I'm going to get my cousin to go to one store while I go to another. I'll sell the second to pay off both of them so I can have more money to buy Twilight Princess. Which also will be hard to get.

Usually, I get a game after I get the system, but maybe other people are different. There's gonna be more games to buy than consoles.

Gamestop has people that just work there for money, the EBs at my place has people that work there because they love video games. Think of GameStop as being the Wal-mart of video game stores and EB being the Target of video game stores. Also, you have to wait a couple months for those reserves, but I guess its worth it.

Now they wont be competeing. You're right! I would go to Gamestop and say"Hey! I could get this at EB game sfor ten bucks less!" So, they'd give it to me for ten bucks less or 5. Now they'll have no competion so they can set the prices at whatever they choose. Videogames are pricey enough!

Kinda stupid. At this one mall, we have a gamestop, and EB and an EBX! Thats like three stores for the same company. I mean come on.
