gamestation wii midnight lauch.

the Edinburgh wii launch was almost a week ago and I still have posted this. I also never got the pictures i took with ross's camera.

me and ross braved the cold Scottish weather to queue up for an hour and a half to get a wii some people before us had been since about 8 o clock.

when we arrived at about 22:20 there queue was fairly small about 30 people a mixture of preorders and chancers. but by midnight the queue length had quadrupled in size.

as you would expect there were numerous people playing ds's.

gamestation were well organized and while people queued they allocated the pre-order people numbers and the chancers letters as they were expecting an additional shipment which arrived at about 23:20 meaning there was an additional 18 consoles available on top of all the filled pre-orders.

when we got inside at midnight it was a well organized affair but absolutely packed making it very hard to move around the store.

they had kindly provided crisps and drinks for everyone upstairs while people waited for there number to be called so they could be served.

the only problems we encountered were that there were no wiimotes available until Saturday and likewise with wii play due shipment issues. strangely enough they had loads of nunchuk controllers.

the whole thing was a thoughrily pleasant experience. to top it of a bloke from radio 1 turned up and was interviewing people as the left the store.
