Sears sells Wii early and someone has pictures

You know those times when someone says, “Pictures or it never happened?” Well, it just so happened that two guys were able to get units of Nintendo’s Wii from Sears on Sony‘s PlayStation 3 launch day. As you can see, there are pictures as well.

On NeoGAF’s forums, the story goes like this (with some grammatical changes for clarity’s sake): “My friend and I went to a local Sears this morning in hopes of buying a ps3. Though the Sears turned out to only have 2 in stock, for some reason they were telling us that the Wii was on sale. It was weird, so they had 6 Wiis in stock; my friend and I, of course, bought one!”
Now, they don’t have a picture of the receipt, but they do have a pic of the Wiis inside Sears bags, so that’s as close as we can get to confirmation on that one for now.

What we’re wondering is, why was Sears selling six Wii’s two days short of street date for the Nintendo launch? Whether you like what Sears did or not, those are two lucky gamers right there, especially since they got a copy of the fabled Twilight Princess game. Till the actual release date of Nintendo’s next-gen wonder machine, you can either go to your nearest Sears and ask them nicely for a unit in advance, or just look at the pictures of the two guys who got their Wiis ahead of everyone else.
