Sunday, Sunday, Sunday


Purchases, Sports, That's Life / Sunday, December 16th, 2007

So I decided I wanted a Wii for Christmas right about Thanksgiving but then I went away for Thanksgiving and yeah, it was just a bad time. So 2 weeks ago, Kristin went to Best Buy at like 7:30AM when it opened at 10:00AM but was too far back in the line. They had a minimum of 18 but ended up having 23. The last person who got one got there at like 6:30AM. So last weekend she went at like 6:00AM or something but it turns out they weren’t selling Wiis last weekend; they were holding them all for this weekend. Yay.

So yesterday I check the ad and they have a minimum of 21. Last night I go to Best Buy and talk to a guy. He says get there by 4:00AM. I think the man’s crazy, but alright, I want one and what else am I doing at 4:00AM on Sunday so I say what the hell. They open at 8:00AM now anyway. I woke up at 3:45AM and got there by 4:15AM. I didn’t get a Wii this morning. I was like 52 in line. The guy 2 in front of me was there at 3:20AM and didn’t get one. Probably the 12 or so people in front of him who got there before 3:30AM didn’t get one. They had 70 but were only giving out 27. I guess they were holding the rest for next weekend. When youll probably have to line up Friday night and stand there for 2 days to get one. To say the least, I won’t be having a Wii under the Christmas tree.

It’s pretty assanign that you could wait probably 5-6 hours in 30 degree temperatures and not get a Wii, that is in the store, just so Best Buy can tell people that they’re gonna have 50 of them the Sunday before Christmas. A sale is a sale. This my friends is why I hate Best Buy.

In lighter news, Matt got a Rock Band. I think that’s what I’ll be doing until I get a Wii. I can’t complain.

And the Eagles won their Superbowl this afternoon, beating the Cowboys and injuring a lot of them. It was a great game and it pretty much defines the season of what could have been if we had gotten some breaks. Tony Romo had a career-low QB rating of 22.2, bumb-ass Terrance Newman played like Terrance Newman and Roy Williams, of course, played crappy while Roy Williamsing Donovan. When will the NFL do something a little more severe to this man who continues getting fines for committing the Roy Williams tackle??? He obviously doesn’t care about the fines.
