Well, what do you know? There's Michelle and I just stopping in to Best Buy this evening after a 'necessaries' run to Target and I notice a hastily typed 'We have a limited supply of Nintendo Wii's' note sticky taped to the door of the store. I figured they were just left over from Sunday until I noticed someone at the checkout with one and wandered over to the gaming area to take a quick peek. Sure enough, locked away in the secure cage were three Wii packages with two remaining tickets resting nonchalantly on top.
I guess I do have the required physical attributes after all (see picture) because, no less than 5 minutes later we were at the checkout purchasing two of them along with a couple of Amos Lee CDs and the greatest hits of a band called 'Guy' that Michelle remembers from High School. The whole experience felt like we were being naughty. I was convinced something would go wrong at the checkout and I was preparing to make a scene if we ended up being denied at that late stage but it all went smoothly and we walked out with two of the most highly sought after pieces of electronic kit to be released in recent memory.
Now all I have to do is decide whether I will actually hand over Jim's to him or put it up on eBay and have him bid on it. ;)
