We can't buy a Wii, except on Ebay

No birthday present for Fudo

I SPENT a few hours wandering the retail stores in Vienna and to my sorrow I couldn't buy a Wii in this fine town.

Continuing my search back at home, I found out that not even the etail guys here have it. The closest one I could find was in Germany and it sells for €309 - some €60 more than the suggested retail price. To add to my woe, it is available in one to three days so I won't be able to get may hands on one today, as I woulrd like.

Widening the search I discovered that not even Best buy in America or Canada has them in.

The Canadian version sells for $279 Canadian which translates to €181 only. But I checked every single usual place in Canada and failed to find any to be had.

The only option seems to be Ebay, or the overpriced German etail stores.

So Nintendo, seriously, can I buy a review sample, just to write a review? I heard too many good things about it. I want to get fit while playing games. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
