We got a call from Nintendo telling us that the Wii was only a block away from the office. Previews editor Brad Shoemaker and executive producer Ryan MacDonald ran downstairs to catch the Wii delivery on tape. We thought it would arrive in an armored truck, but then we heard the familar jingle of...
an ice cream truck!
And Brad takes delivery of the Wii!
Got any more Wii boxes in there?
Rich, Jeff, Alex, and Greg in the studio getting ready for the live On the Spot Wii marathon.

Let's get this box open and start playing! Check out GameSpot's "We Just Got A Wii Marathon" right now.

James, how big do you imagine the Wii box is? And is that the retail box you guys got?
Kinda arrived late, sorry if those questions were asked already.

Why in the world was it delivered via an ice cream truck?!
It was so unexpected and inexplicably unexplained that I'm extremely vexed. I am excited, exhilarated, and exuberant for the Wii, but existentially exhausted trying to extract a reason for the exchange with an ice cream truck.
Why did I write it like that? I'm genuinely wigged out over this ice cream truck chaos. Help!

Ice Cream truck, inconspicuous, because Nintendo don't want the millions of people to swarm and attack the truck like Michael Jackson was in there.

The behind the scenes look at it was as cool.

I'm getting a Wii for christmas and i have to say that marathon was better then any movie or even two movies. Watched the whole thing twice lol.

that was the BEST Marathon ever. It ranged from Ice cream sandwishes, backseat gaming, yelling, complaining, accidents, and lots of goofiness. All of you guys acted like 7 year olds during christmas..... and that's WONDERFUL! Loved it!

That was the coolest arrival yet. It sure topped the PS3 launch event's fake system box delivery!
