Ok, you're probably gonna call bullshit when I tell you where I FIRST heard this info, but bare with me on this, cause I've seen stranger crap happen (namely $1000 bundle packs for the 360 last year)
On GameFAQs forums I have recently uncovered some info relating to the "belief" that Nintendo Wiis won't be restocked (or rather, put on the shelves) until Black Friday...that BIG....violent...crazy shopping day. Now, before I go and participate in the only legal riot in the world, can someone tell me if this information is true or should I call in daily all this week in the hopes that this information was a load of balogna?

Its actually the biggest day of the year for retail sales. Its called black friday b/c big stores go from not making much money in the year (being in the red) to making shit tons of money (being in the black)

Everywhere I've seen.
Oh, and Black Friday is Hell. I work in clothing retail and yeah...FUCKING blows. People need lives, not a 5 AM wake up call to go stand in line outside a jean shop.

Worked Black Friday for the last two years.
If I didn't have a retail job, I wouldn't leave home the entire day.

And they're all dicks about it, too. "WHAT? It's four in the afternoon, and you're OUT of the super cheap laptops that went on sale at five A.M? I WANT A MANAGER."
Personally, I think everyone should have to work retail on BF at least once. The world would be a better place.
