No. What happened was that CostCo (here) announced that their shipment hadn't arrived. In actuality, 24 had arrived, but far too small a number to announce to the public. My friend knows the manager, who told her he'd sell the 24 to whoever was at the door at a specific time very early morning. Forty people were there even though they were told there wouldn't be any until 'maybe' next week. They wanted to JUST make sure. LOL. We were #18 out of 24, but we knew there would be 24 units. Stood 2 hours .. then had to come back 45 minutes later to turn in our number to pay and pick up the unit. Afterwards, we drove by Toys R' Us .. trailed behind the end of the line that had waited all night. 100 got a Wii .. we were #104, so they gave us a raincheck and guaranteed we will have one from the next shipment.
Soooo, I'll sell one to my friend who didn't manage to get one .. and the other is from Santa for our son. If my friend gets one elsewheres, I'll sell the extra one on eBay.
