Rumors of Wii’s early launch at Best Buy

Best Buy's Inventory info for the Wii

They’ve got an interesting rumor going on at Kotaku and it’s got to do with the Wii and the Double-B. One enterprising reader decided to take a look at Best Buy‘s inventory information on the Wii and the PS3, and noticed something that could either be an error or the usual missing information we can expect from our fine establishments.

Now, the PS3 comes up with the usual information, with the street date and shipping date on November 17. The Wii, however, is different. If you’ll look at the picture above, you’ll notice that the Wii has a shipping date (In Stock Date) of October 29, but no street date. The Wii’s launch is supposed to be around mid-November, which begs the question, “Could Best Buy launch the Wii early?”

You never know about these sorts of surprises, but it’s a lot more plausible to think it’s simply an error on their part. Personally,  I’m thinking the National Guard should be there to ensure no one sneaks off with the hardware before the launch date.
