Thinking about picking up your copy of Wii Fit at GameStop or Gamecrazy next week? Maybe when that clerk was harassing you about pre-ordering it you should have given it some thought, cool guy.
According to IGN, both retailers have suspended their pre-orderings, having already sold out of their initial allocations. All hope is not lost -- it appears you can still pre-order the game from Gamestop.com, and you might have some luck picking up the title at larger retailers like Target and K-Mart, neither of which accept pre-orders.
One Gamecrazy location told IGN that they were "still accepting 'second orders' for those who have already reserved one unit" which not only doesn't make any sense, but seems like a nasty way of saying "nanny,nanny, poo poo" to someone who "should have reserved the game when [they] asked the first time."
Wii Fit is already a ridiculous sensation in both Japan and Europe, and I'd suggest everyone hold on to their hats for the impending North American media blitz.

I guess it really doesn't matter. Anyone hoping that Wii fit alone will help them get in "fit" will phail anyway.
BAD PUN ATTACK!!!
Get outside and do something.
Evidently, any workout video of any type is completely ineffectual because Crapshoot knows some fat housewives.
Raired is evidently completely unfamiliar with what Wii Fit is and thinks it's a bathroom scale, but still felt the need to comment in a thread about Wii Fit.
SaraAB87 insists that people will buy popular things and resell them on ebay. Impossible, that never happens!
Dryvby points out that anybody buying this is wasting money, as opposed to other video games which are evidently a sound investment strategy in his world.
And more about becoming aware of your body, how your body reacts to things, you center of gavity and finding an overall ballance, which I think is very exciting. I'm guessing that when used properly, it will make you more health oriented and second guess that third slice of pizza.
And according to a couple of my friends across the pond, it's actually very fun and integrates itself into your life quite seamlessly.
