Okay, so basicly the summer leading up to the Wii, all I did was preach to my friends about it. I almost was like a spokesperson! Anyways, I had me and 4 other of my friends wanting one. So we decided that we would go at launch to get one, wake up bright and early. (5 AM). I used to live in a very small town a couple years back, and the Wal-Mart we went to that morning had only about 20 systems there. Luckily me and my 4 friends got there on time, they gave us numbers and we we're 11-16. So we wait..and wait..and finally, they call our numbers..
I was number 16 so I watched all my friends buy Wiis first, along with Zelda. Then it got to me..
I was paying with my bank card, mind you, which i didn't realize had a daily withdraw limit of $100 a day! Thanks mom! :P
So I swipe my card through..and it says daily withdraw limit exceeded, I said "thats impossible! Its 7 AM, what could have I bought?!" And after arguing and pleeding for them to hold on for it until tomorrow when I could get some actual cash, they refused..
So me, the one that had been bragging up the Wii the whole year, and convincing my friends to get one, was the one left with none at all! I had to watch them open up their boxes and fling around the wii motes saying "ohh this is gonna be so cool!" for the ride back home, which was an hour long.
Needless to say..I was pretty heart broken that day. But it wasn't all bad I suppose, I ended up buying a 360 that Christmas, and now I have all 3 consoles.
