A week before last Christmas Nintendo and video game retailer GameStop announced the Wii Certificate Program (Raincheck). If you got the Wii Raincheck for $250 back then, you should got your Wii console last Friday Jan. 25th.
I4U advised against getting a Wii raincheck back in December. However, I4U now writes the raincheck would actually be handy -- because the Wii is still sold out everywhere; and if the Wii is in stock then it is in an expensive bundle.
