First off I should inform you all that I work for a GAME retailer and very happily to, it's a fun job where I get to talk about games to people all day, have a laugh with my friends and get discount on one of the only things I spend money on anyway... games.

But recently the staff at GAME received a notice saying that we can't buy the Wii during the first shipment which I personally think is ridiculous my moneys just as good as anyone else’s especially as I preordered my Wii months ago and was number 17 on the list.

I understand in America retailers were told to ask staff not to but the systems but here in the UK we're told. This would be fine if any of the people I know were going to ebay off the console but none of us were! We all wanted to just buy the Wii take it home play Zelda aaaaaaaaall through the night and come into work the next day but now we can't even do that.

This can't be legal though can it? My moneys as good as anyone else’s and as I paid for it so I would get it on launch day shouldn't I get my moneys worth?

Now I have to wait for the second shipment to come in which will probably be late next week as if waiting for as long as I have now wasn't bad enough I have to avoid the net for even longer so not to spoil Zelda for myself. Shouldn't working for a major game retailer mean that I'd get certain advantages? Not treated like a second class citizen...
