Wii Warm Up: Wii remains elusive

Just a little over a week ago, many of you were telling us that you were still Wii-less, but the numbers were seemingly growing stronger, so we found solace in the hope that the rest of you would soon be sharing in our Wii experience. However, it seems that the shortages haven't gotten any better at all, and demand for the Wii remains utterly and completely without bounds. Amazon restocked this week and saw the entire lot disappear in moments. While searching on behalf of a family member, we were told that at one smaller local electronics store (where there are never typically more than 3-4 customers at a time), they were still seeing weekly crowds that numbered from 50-70 people. For this area, that's a lot of people.

How is it where you are? Do you hear random people talking about the Wii? Do store employees laugh if you ask about it? Are there still lines of people showing up at stores?
