Black Friday with Nintendo

Nov. 23 12:36 AM by Lynxara

Happy Thanksgiving, people! My dinner went over pretty well, and the rest of the night was all Big Brain Academy and Mario Galaxy. Now it's all gearing up for Black Friday shopping.

Incidentally, this means that if you tried to buy a Wii earlier in the week, you might have been screwed. Apparently in some regions lots of big box retailers and GameStops have been sitting on their supplies. They'll probably evaporate in an hour or two once stores open up later today. You may have unusually good chances of snagging a Wii if you get out when stores open.

Also, as a follow-up to an earlier post about buying the Nintendo DS, it turns out those Zelda and Nintendogs bundles are both officially confirmed and not exclusive to Sears. When I head out to join the national commerce frenzy later today, I'm probably going to see if I can track one down myself.
