I. GIVE. UP.

It ain't over yet, kids.

So Amazon deleted our order and didn't bother mentioning it to us. Thus I spent the next day surfing the net looking for "Wii Rock Band Beatles Special Value Edition". Only found them upwards of $300. Finally found one for $160 at buy.com. Ordered it. Made absolutely certain it was a Wii and the Special Value Edition. But I needed Mom's credit card, since it was supposed to be a gift from her to Mike. I wound up calling the house every 15 minutes for 4 hours. Mom had said she wasn't going anywhere that day, then she went out anyway. Finally got a hold of her just before I panicked that she was ill or injured. She gives me the credit card number. Half an hour later, the card is rejected for some reason. Call her again. Get a different card. This one was acceptable. Finally have an order. It was delivered last week, and we breathed a sigh of relief.

Mike opened it a couple minutes ago. They sent the Playstation version, not the Wii. *pounds head against wall repeatedly* Now it's time for returns hell, during the holidays with a big honkin' box. I could cry.

Ack! Why don't you buy that kind of thing at Ian's store, the Perring Plaza Game Stop? He'd take good care of you, he's the manager.

My brother's family is a very Amazon-oriented bunch, so I never even looked at brick & mortar stores. But that's good to know about Ian, I'll keep him in mind for future Wii purchases!
