That I'm camped out in front of Nintendo World to get a Wii Fit, or that I'm below the median age of the people in line?

Edit at 9:40: We got here at about 7:45 and were about 15th in line. There was a signup sheet on the wall, which turned out to be a scam. The legitimate folks just handed out wristbands, and we're in, with maybe 20 more behind us.

OTOH, one person in line was 30th yesterday and didn't get one.

OK, back to waiting for the 11:00 open.

Edit at 11:55: Success! Picked up Mario Kart, too, since it's not easy to get out in Jersey.

BTW, they were completely stocked on Wiis.

So, did you get one or two? Or did J&L come with you? And when can we have a demo of the new toy? ;)

They only let each person buy one. Jim and I went. I also got Mario Kart, since they had it and nobody else does.

Made a trip to what has to be the cleanest subway station in Manhattan. The floor was spotless and the garbage cans had been emptied. IOW, no MetroCards. In the interest of time I may have to make the first set of route cards from scratch.

Let me know if it's worth buying. I'm thinking about getting one eventually.

So far it seems cool. If it stays this rare, you might as well pick it up and if you don't like it sell it on eBay for a profit.
