A Best Buy in New Jersey pulled a neat trick- they continually pulled Wii consoles out of the back room and told customers that it was the "last one"- that is, until another "last Wii" emerged about a half hour later. According to Consumerist.com, managers were heard whispering to each other to "wait 40 minutes and send out the next one."
Also, as I reported from New York, a whole lot of big shots- including Seinfeld, Mary J. Blige, and Drew Carey- will be at CES in Vegas in January. I won't be there, but Maria Bartiromo will.
And at the Trend, I join the critical pileup on "Lions For Lambs" here.
