Yeap, it’s gonna be a Wiiless Wiikend. Was planning on going to Yodobashi Kawasaki branch to see if there’s any available. Just made a call to them and they said nope, no stock. Some stock did come in at 5.30pm, but it was all sold out by 7pm.

Right, oh well, it’s just gonna be a FACup Weekend then!

UPDATE on Jan 28, 2007 @ 1.45pm:

Scored myself a Wii! This morning went down to Itoyokado Oimachi branch at 8.45am and waited till 10am for the Wii purchase. They had 69 units in stock. Was the 7th person there. Though I’d definitely gonna score a Wii, but realized in the end that it’s a lottery draw. They were giving out tickets between 10-10.15am and then drawing 69 random tickets at 10.30am. Luckily, by the time they had 16 units or so left, my number was picked! Phew, otherwise gonna be a waste of my Sunday morning and a stupid grande cup of Starbucks’ cappucino.

Managed to set it up and updated despite not being able to read Japanese. Bought Wii Sports and the Wii Play Wiimote bundle, as well as the component cables. Now running 480p on my Dell 2407WFP monitor. Fun… can’t wait to play with others when Benet and tsewei come around.
