I know, it really sucks. I looked for FOREVER to buy one, ever since they came out and then I was lucky enough to get one through my boyfriend's work. He does electronic restoration work for insurance companies for homes that have had fires or floods....My Wii was in a fire but wasn't damaged, just a little yellowed from the smoke. But since it was cosmetically damaged, the insurance compnay told DBF's company to consider it a loss and that they could throw it away and they'd ship the family a new one....thus Cathie got a Wii!!!!!
I truly LOVE his job lol.
