One more day until the project launches?
I woke up excited thinking that today’s the day that I march to the store to pick up Wii Fit. A quick check of big box retail web sites showed that it doesn’t come out until tomorrow.
What’s that about? It’s been my experience that all CDs, DVDs, and video games hit retail shelves on Tuesdays. Why is Wii Fit coming out on a Wednesday?
And, the second side of the issue… I didn’t pre-order a copy, and from the gadget blog buzz I’ve been reading, the subject matter of this blog may quickly change from “Can I lose 40 pounds with Wii Fit?” to “Can I get a copy of Wii Fit without camping out overnight at Best Buy?”
Hopefully I’ll have decent luck tomorrow and I’ll get a copy so the experiment doesn’t get delayed. I’ll keep you updated.

If you have trouble at Best Buy you might want to try some of the other Big Box places - Circuit City in Independence blows for example…they all have an allocation and some folk never think of them. I know a fella who did PSP that way and walked in and was the only person in the store while Best Buy was overwhelmed.
Good luck and let me know if I can help.

I was able to get a copy from my friend at Blockbuster at 12:01 Tonight, I’m sure if you check out Wal-Mart’s and targets you’ll be able to find it easily tomorrow. Check out http://www.imwiifit.com so you can see how the start up video is, I just got done setting it up. I wish you luck man, I’ll be here to support you.
