One small note: It's going around many message boards that Gamestop and EB Games are going to be taking Wii pre-orders beginning Friday, October 13th. There is a $50 deposit required that will go towards the final purchase price of the Wii system. Also keep in mind that there were quite a few people already waiting in line when these stores opened today for the PS3 preorders and the PS3 preorders were gone within minutes of most stores opening their doors.
