:C I was surprised they limited the amount of Best Buys. Should have given them to all the Best Buys or at least up the number some.

Still I'd wait for E3 before issuing a final verdict. Plus it appears most StreetPass groups are having meets a few days after E3, Best Buy might be a cool place to meetup.

There's one right in my hometown in California, and I planned on staying with my family that week which is awesome!!! I always go to that Best Buy with my girlfriend, I was soooo stoked to read the news. We're both gonna go hopefully on both days, I know at least Wednesday. I'll always support Nintendo, should be a great way to get more street passes too.

There's one about 30 minutes away from me, hopefully I can go!I'm super excited for the Luigi loot,Wii U deals and cool demos Also, I heard that the list of stores keeps getting updated, so before you decide not to go, double check here: http://goo.gl/hJkCf

I'm surprised that the number of Best Buys is so limited. It must be difficult to get the demos out and set up in so many stores.

They probably all have to be manned by Nintendo employees just in case someone tries to do something stupid, hence the limited hours too. Only on 2 days for 4 hours each.
