Nintendo Wii: How to give one this holiday

If you want to put a Wii under the tree this year, you can still do it, if you're willing to brave early-morning lines, high prices or the disappointed look you'll get when handing over a virtual gaming console. CR's Paul Eng outlines the options, which essentially include shelling out $400 or more for a "bundle" including accessories and games that you may or may not want; picking up a Wii gift card that guarantees a unit in January; or lining up in frigid pre-dawn temperatures in front of New York's Nintendo World store and waiting for the doors to open. Eng did just that earlier this week, and reports that he managed to pick up a unit for $250 after waiting a mere three hours. But don't assume you'll get off as easily; Eng reports that, on his foray, at least one intrepid soul had begun his wait at 8:00 the previous evening, and as December 25th gets ever closer, more Wii-wishers may find themselves joining that late-night crowd.
