Nintendo to offer 'Wii Rainchecks'

In an effort to help dull the impact of the Wii supply crunch, Reggie Fils-Aime has announced in a conference call that Nintendo will make "Wii Rainchecks" available to those who pay in full for a system on December 20th and 21st (but don't actually get a system). The rainchecks will be available at GameStop, and Reggie says they have plentiful supply of certificates, not to mention a large supply of actual Wiis heading out to stores including but not limited to GameStop.

Who wants to bet they'll run out of rainchecks?
