Playstation 3 VS Wii

I love my kid, but I wouldn't sleep in a line for a toy for her. However, I did kind of accidentally score a hot item this year: the Nintendo DS Lite. The Girl wanted one (and not one of the pink ones, thank God) and I've seen them all over so I thought I was safe in waiting to get one. Well, I swung by the local Fred Meyers and just sort of as an afterthought stopped by Electronics to see what they were going for now. They had one in the case, and it was onyx colored- perfect! It was also only $129, so I thought I'd better grab it. Another lady joined me in front of the case, and I went to get an employee to open it for us. (I just assumed she was after a PS or X-Box 360). When he opened the case, we both went for the Nintendo. I was just going to let her have it and pick one up later, but she told the guy I was first and fessed up- she'd been to five other places and they were sold out. Sure enough, the employee made some calls and no place he could think of had anymore. Costco had some of the expensive bundled version, but she just wanted the console only, like me. Luckily, the employee told her he had six more coming the next day and would call her when they came in, so hopefully she got one as well.
