GameStop Details Wii Reservation Program

11
Mega-gaming retailer GameStop has provided a few more details on the Wii reservation program that Nintendo of America mentioned last week, which is meant to help holiday shoppers acquire the elusive system.

For one day and one day only--this Friday, December 21--those who pre-pay for a $249.99 Wii at GameStop, in full and while supplies last, will be guaranteed a unit in January.

To commemorate the occasion, customers will be given a special case containing what GameStop refers to as a "guarantee slip". A phone call will notify them when the Wii itself arrives in-store.

Of course, some restrictions apply. The vouchers are only valid at the store they were purchased at--they cannot be transfered to another location-- and the system must be picked up by January 25.

    HA! watch this... this whole thing has got fail written all over it... "we will get you your system on tuesday for a 250+ dollar today." I swear if wimpy was around he'd be bumming hamburgers from all the suckers shelling out money for a system... can wait for them to say whoops we underestimated how many we "really" needed so the date of pick is now the 12th of never....two thousand never ever.
