Jonathan Mann, aka GameJew, waited in line from 10 AM on Friday morning until 12AM Sunday morning to get a Nintendo Wii at the Los Angeles launch party. Needless to say he was first in line and dressed in the appropriate Mario costume. To pass the time he pulled out his guitar and sung songs about the Wii. When the clock struck midnight Jonathan stepped into the Gamestop and was greeted by Senior Vice President of Nintendo, George Harrison. Harrison shook the Nintendo fan’s hand as he purchased the first Wii out of many, many more sold that morning. As Jonathan stepped out he was blinded by the flash of many cameras, but the proud Wii owner didn’t mind too much. He was going to go home to enjoy Wii Sports.
