WP Affair: Wal-Mart, Target & Wii
Tuesday, March 20, 2007 at 11:59AM
From my time away on Wordpress.com:
So I was at the new Wal-Mart in Atlanta today...I know, I know what I said yesterday, but there you go. I was on a Wii mission, and I was just hoping maybe no one else inside the City of Atlanta shops at Wal-Mart either, because we're all so Urban Cool and Target has such a lock on the market inside The Perimeter (I285, which goes around Metro Atlanta, and forms a very distinct Urban/Suburban, ITP/OTP chasm-which-should-not-be-crossed, for those of us who live, work & play on the Inside).
But Target's got no Wii. Nor does Best Buy, EB Games, or anywhere else Inside. I'm going to have to go back up to Dahlonega, just to get stuff for this Wii.
I ended up going over there anyway, to my favorite Target in the new Edgewood Shopping District. No luck on the Wii, but I picked up a storage shelf, a shoe rack, and some great spring/summer shorts & tees for my daughter...so I've got stuff I should be doing.
The Internet search begins for Wii Play w/controller; another controller; and the other little do-hickey thing that you can Box with, but only if both players have the do-hickey thing, and the Wii only comes with one do-hickey and one controller. What's up with that?!
