EB Games to Never Take Wii Pre-Orders?

Today, I was at my EB looking for a gift for my cousin and figured I’d ask if Wii pre-orders were being taken yet. Seeing as I’d gotten the same answer the last few times (No), I expected the same again. However, I didn’t get the same answer this time. I got an answer that was worse. The lady behind the counter said that they currently weren’t taking pre-orders and they might not be taking them at all. There might be some pre-orders taken a month or two before launch, but as of this moment, there are no plans. This isn’t good news. If you remember the Xbox 360 launch, getting a Wii or PS3 without a reservation might be troublesome.

You might want to try Toys R Us for a pre-order if this is the case. Toys R Us Canada is taking pre-orders for Nintendo Wii Bundles. It includes whatever comes in the Wii package + an extra controller + 2 games. They have been taking pre-orders since February. Shop around because it looks like EB and GameStop may not be the way to go this time around.
