Oren can't find a Wii and is desperate. What is an emo guy to do? What we all did as little kids when our parents spent all their money on cocaine and left us toyless -- use our imaginations. He writes: "Waiting in line didn't work, the Amazon lottery didn't work, desperate times call for desperatemore... measures. And desperate measures Wii take."

I did pre order.. here's the canned response I got over and over.
Toys-R-Us is actually selling wiis in stores and not honoring their pre-orders. That sucks big time.
I don't really care right now because I managed to grab a wii and got to finish zelda before having to wrap it and give it to my brother for xmas.. but still.. That's a very bad business practice.
Thank you for your inquiry, Mr.. We apologize for the fact that your order was canceled. Unfortunately, even though our executive office was able to secure a small amount of extra Wii's, they were not able to fulfill all orders. As they are able to get any more stock, they will be contacting guests that had their orders cancelled. This is the only way that we have to assist you in this matter. We apologize for the inconvenience. If you need any further assistance, Mr., please give us a call at 1-800-.
