go to gamestop and get a raincheck…

> The rain checks will be available at the regular Wii system price, $249.99, on Dec. 20 and 21, and will entitle buyers to get the Nintendo console before Jan. 29. Fils-Aime said “many tens of thousands of rain checks” would be available.

does getting a raincheck hold a system at the store for you? that may be a stupid question but i didn’t see anything specifically mentioned about that in the article about that.

i think the stores send in how many are needed and then they fill the orders… not 100% sure… but i bet you could call and they could tell you more.
