So yesterday I stopped at the Game Stop, E.B. Games, Target, and Best Buy for a Wii. No such luck. I got an HDTV converter instead with my http://www.dtv2009.gov coupon. The HDTV tuner could hardly tune anything in. I just barely got 17-1, and some weird lawyer infomercial channel. I needed an antenna for HDTV, the wire out the window is just not going to cut it.
After lunch today I stopped in the Gallery at the Radio Shack to get a small set-top yagi for HDTV (apparently multipath affects the american version of HDTV more than the better European standard - no surprise there - big business money controlling the FCC again). Radio shack was swamped. I left.
On a whim, and since I fear/hate/loath the gallery, I wanted to kill two birds with one stone...

I did a random drop by for the Wii at Game Stop.
I missed it by one hour!
NO!
NO!

Random drop by at E.B. Games.
