Only a select few will get a PS3 or Wii this year. AAFES is in such short supply they will use drawings to find out who gets them.

In the States, people might be lining up around the block for a PlayStation 3 or Nintendo Wii, but it will take a bit of luck, not patience, to get one at most Army and Air Force Exchange Service stores around the world.

AAFES has sent guidance to store managers in Europe, Pacific and the Mideast suggesting they sell the initial batch of the Sony and Nintendo game systems — which are expected to arrive by mail as early as next week — via drawings.

That means that everyone who wants the newest versions of the $500 PS3 or the $250 Wii will get an equal chance to purchase the products.

Individual stores will post rules and information about their drawings, Judd Antsey, public relations manager at the agency$)C!/s headquarters in Dallas, wrote in an e-mail response. Anstey suggested that customers check with their local exchange to see how the process will work.
