Kmart Won’t Let You Order a Wii, Even Though They’re In Stock

wiiI’d like to get a Wii, but I’m just not willing to buy a whole bundle for $500+ and get four games, three of which I’m not interested in.  I’m also not interested in waiting on line at the Nintendo store before 7am hoping to get one of the 12 or so that they might sell that day.  I’m fine waiting for the day that I can walk into any Best Buy or Circuit City and just buy the base $250 unit, and the one additional game I might be interested in.

I’ve added a Wii tracker to my RSS reader in case someone has the base unit for sale online.  This morning, I found out that Kmart has just that.  Over my morning cup of coffee, I went to the Kmart site, and attempted to order the Wii.

When I added it to my cart, I was greeted by a message that, especially with my slow-morning-brain, I found quite perplexing.

So how exactly does one go about and order one from Kmart?  They have them in stock, but have a limit of 0 per order. Oh well.  Guess it’s not meant to be at this time.
