CNN Employee Nearly Mauled By Angry Shoppers Over Wii
When the launch of the PS3 and Wii happened within two days of each other, we all heard terrible stories of the PS3 launch lines gone awry while the Wii launch lines were like some sort of hippie love-in.

Midnight in Garden of Best Buy and Target Pt. 2
Since I didn't have time before my EB launch to go by Target, I put the Wii under lock and key in the car and trekked over to the Target parking lot. Can you believe my restraint? Trust me, my first instinct was to jump in the car and jam down on the gas, squealing wheels out of the parking lot as I laughed maniacally all the way home. More »

Midnight in Garden of Best Buy and Target Pt. 1
While waiting for my midnight launch last night, I strolled over to the Best Buy to find a line of about 20-30 people. I approached cautiously. Much like wild animals, gamers can be a bit skittish, especially after launches like last weeks'. More »
