Dear Amazon.com, wanna make out?

After the debacle that was Amazon’s $100 Xbox 360 Core System sale, I felt EXTREMELY fortunate to be one of the people who picked one up. With literally millions trying for only 1,000 consoles, I totally lucked out, and had to giggle to myself when considering the fact that I already had a 360, and was buying the new one as a gift.

Well, it looks like the magical Amazon fairies have smiled upon me once again. Both the Wii and the PlayStation 3 are notoriously hard to come across at the moment and so Amazon set up a drawing to determine who would be able to order one from their site to be delivered by Christmas. Statistically, I shouldn’t have won. After all, I already totally scored with the Xbox promotion, and they couldn’t possibly want my body that badly, could they?

A minute ago, I received the email pictured above. It looks like I get to pick up a Wii before Christmas! Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to go buy a couple hundred lottery tickets and have unprotected sex with most of Orange County.

I'm Nex. I used to work here but my love of cash led me to take a gig with Wired. I still keep an eye on the 'toid, but to see what I'm really up to, you should either hit up my Vox or go have a look at the Wired media empire.
