Rumors are flying that the Toys ‘R’ Us in Times Square is stocked to the gills with 5,000 Wii’s, making the multiple-day waits the people at the front of the line have endured seem kind of… pointless. With numbers like that, you’ll be able to stroll in on Monday afternoon and pick up a Wii or two without enduring the craziness that is Times Square on a Saturday night with 1,000 fanboys lined up. But I guess that’s the fun of it.

The Toys ‘R’ Us employees are handing out white Livestrong-esque Wii bracelets to everyone in line, which apparently guarantee a unit tonight, but it doesn’t look like anyone will get turned away unhappy tonight.
