If you’re dying for a Wii, you may have already heard about the reservation system that the famously pre-order-happy retailer GameStop is running. Well, there’s a little more info out there now – stop by your local GameStop, ask for a reservation, and they’ll give you a special case with a “guarantee slip” inside, pictured above. You’ll then have to pick up your Wii at the same store some time in January when they call you, and that should be before January 25th, though with holiday volumes being what they are, I’d expect a few “sorry” calls.

Wii Rain Check – REALITY: NO CASE; NO CARD; just a register receipt!!!
Unlike reported at all the sites, I just purchased my raincheck from my local GameStop store in Wilson, NC and all I got was a cash register receipt. They had heard nothing of the DVD-like cases with a gift card inside. Just a plain receipt with a barcode. They have may name and number and a promise to call when it arrives. But nothing to put “under the tree” other than the receipt!!!
Another broken promise from Nintendo??!!??!!
