So, I finally did it. I went on eBay and bought myself a
Wii. I ended up spending about $88 more than I would have if I'd gotten it in a store locally, but given that everyone is sold out and probably will continue to be sold out for the next 6 months, I was able to justify it. I even used my liquid spending account (aka Paypal) to purchase it, so I won't even notice a dent in my finances. :-) Now, I just have to wait a week for the damn thing to arrive.
