I'm thinking about doing a Wii giveaway to promote my new site, but when are they shipping more?

Seems like within the past week or so they are springing up more frequently a lot of places around here.

A friend told me one of his coworkers just bought 9 of them on Amazon the other day.

Walmart.com is sold out, I guess I could check the actual store. But that's the only place in town that would carry them.
Gamestop.com is also sold out, so I just figured nobody had them.

I just checked, and the lowest price is $394.
The MSRP is $250, right?

I believe they had just gotten a shipment, so he was paying the $250 MSRP. Now he's gonna be one of those scalpers.

I was thinking about iPods, but lots of people have them already, and my site is a video game site, so an iPod wouldn't work as well as a Wii (or possibly a 360 if I can't find a Wii).

But why should I change my avatar?

I hope scalpers lose money on every wii they peddle.

Yeah, if I knew the guy, I'd figure out an appropriate name to call him and do so.
