| | | Kyle should get a lump of coal in his stocking and that's it, and Chris is too old for a WII.
Take that money and spend it on someone who deserves it- yourself.

| | Ok Im a total sap when it comes to Christmas. I typically spend about 2 grand a piece on them. I spoil them and I love it!!!
Chris's bro is 34 and has the WII and he told Chris he loves it!
Kyle's place is 5 minutes down the road. So thats how they take turns with the games. Theyre getting along now. Which is good!!! Were spending Thanksgiving together! WAHOO
Ok Ive tried the 5 walmarts here in Sarasota, and EVERY other store which would carry them, all sold out and they dont know when they will get more or if they will get more. Kmart told me to be there at 3:30am Thurs and stand in line, they MIGHT have a couple in by then. WTF Im not standing in line for 4 hours if you dont have it!
I think by getting them each their own the whole sharing thing is over. I usually buy them something they can do together, last year it was paintball crap and the xbox.
Thanks for the help though! I never imagined it would be this difficult.

| | | Chris and I were just discussing the limit this year and he's like ok how about 300? I was like are you kidding me??? I will cut back this year but NOT that much.
I have ALWAYS gone out of my way at Christmas for Kyle because his dad was never around, again overcompensated. This is really the last year he'll be around per say. I think next year will be different. Any excuse to spoil and its not good I know, but this is my FAVORITE holiday!

| | | The Wii will be difficult to find probably well into next year, if not beyond.
As long as I was working at GameStop, it was difficult to find. In fact, don't even bother shopping at GameStop for it, what others suggested, Walmart, BestBuy, Toys R Us is often overlooked though they get a shit load of them.
To tell you the truth, you having waited this long to get one was the worst thing you could do. There's people that have been looking for them as much as a year with no luck. Holidays? I wouldn't even bother besides on-line. In fact, if you really feel you must have one settle for the 500 dollar bundle packs you'll find on-line. They're really not that bad of a deal considering all that comes with them.
Just to inform you, Nintendo isn't deliberately short handing everybody to increase the demand. They're actually manufacturing more consoles, and selling more than the Xbox360 and PS3 combined. It kind of comes down to whether opening another factory is worth the investment. They don't think so. Because once they catch up with the demand, they'll have an extra factory and staff they don't need. So right now, they're trying to catch up.

But I'm also sure it won't be enough to satiate demand.
