It appears that the online strategy for many companies is 1. Find current selling price for new, naked Wii on eBay 2. Add $50 to that price 3. To justify gap between retail price of the console alone and the price you just came up with, throw the two worst games you can find and something else. 4. Depending on the games you had lying around, label it "action bundle" or "family bundle". If you can't find a theme, call it the "customer's choice bundle" I happened across some Wii bundles online this morning. It appears that the online strategy for many companies is

Of course I'll still be looking for one since my company shelled out money on 3 Super Bowl commercials they expect me to work overtime...

If you are willing to be one of the first ones to the door in the AM I see no reason that you shouldn't be able to own a wii within the next 2 weeks. Derek-
