The Wii is Here.

Re: The Wii is Here.

I'll probably just play it by ear and get out to Best Buy whenever I wake up on Sunday morning (or maybe I'll just stay up Saturday night and leave before dawn).

And I say Best Buy, because when I went to Circuit City last week or whenever, I'm pretty sure they said that they hadn't had any since launch. On top of that, I got a coupon for 10% off video game software limit 3, so I'll probbaly get 3 games and save some moneys

And if I fail to get one, I'll just assume that the "we'll be getting regular shipments" part is accurate and keep checking back at Best Buy. Eventually the numbers should equalize and it'll stop being impossible to find one... hopefully it won't take too much longer though if I happen to miss my chance this Sunday.

Chris: it's unbearably cold. I doubt more than 6 or 7 people at any one store will be camping out.

I'm probably gonna try for Circuit City with that coupon. Isn't there one of those by Oakland Mall, too?

Re: The Wii is Here.

Eric, note that Circuit City opens the latest of all the stores, meaning if you miss it there, you're out of luck. And they might not take that coupon. Though they should.

But you're right. It's REALLY cold out nowadays, so that's a good factor in how many idiots will want to camp out for several hours.

Yeah, it's in the back... CompUSA is by John R and Circuit City is on the opposite end of the parking lot. It's tucked away in the corner where no one should ever be able to find it unless they're looking for it. Actually, I think you can see it from 75, but that's beside the point.

As for coldness: who cares? I'll just wear two pairs of socks, two pairs of pants, hoodie, heavy coat and knit cap. Coldness ain't got **** on me. And hell, I've been meaning to get going on the Harry Potter series again before book 7 comes out, and this would be as good a chance as any to get started.

Re: The Wii is Here.

It's best just to camp out Afro. It's much nicer to bite-the-bullet, camp, and get the console. So that way you have it and don't have to keep calling stores and checking in to get one. I camped out for 4 hours the week after just to make sure I'd get one. I was like 8th in line. They ended up having 52, so I could have gotten there an hour and 15 minutes beforehand and received a voucher. But I didn't know how many they had and wanted to make sure I got one, as it was so annoying calling all these stores daily to see if they received their second shipment. Such a relief to get one and not worry about it anymore.

Man, stores are offering coupons and crap left and right!

Actually, this one interests me. $50 toward a DS Lite for a GBASP? I have a GBA SP! I also want a DS Lite!

Awesome awesome awesome. I might actually go for this. I might even get a used DS for close to nothing with this $50 credit.

IF ONLY MY RETARDED FRIENDS DIDN'T ETCH INTO THE PLASTIC.

I doubt they'll take $50 for it -.-

Well, that's how I'll spend Monday.

Edit for Eric IMPORTANT

Circuit City canceled that coupon.

Re: The Wii is Here.

I've sent everyone who has added me a picture. Just because I got a new camera lol. Now I can almost use every part of the Wii. Just the USB left now.

Re: The Wii is Here.

So I sold my Wii a few days ago. I ended up using the money for an Xbox 360. Best decision ever. I'm not saying the Wii is bad, but I just don't like the controller. It was fun at first, but after awhile, it began to die down.
Zelda was really fun. Wii Sports was okay at first, but the lack of depth really hurt the replay value. I do think that once all those sports are made into individual games, they will be extremely fun (mainly golf and tennis). Madden '07 was okay, but I ended up feeling as though the control scheme hurt the game. I just think the "regular" way to play is much easier, and more fun.

Re: The Wii is Here.

I agree with you dunlop on the Madden thing. The Wii controls diden't feel right.

I went to a eb games today (who seems to be affiliated with gamestop...) and they said they hadn't gotten any since before Christmas.

Which sounds totally bogus since I'm pretty sure that I've seen that particular ebgames listed at itrackr.

ps I'd extend an invitation for hanging out at Best Buy to Eric, but I can't promise I won't be engrossed in Harry Potter.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Make sure you tell him Circuit City probably isn't the place to go >_>

It opens later than all of the other stores first of all, so if they don't get it you're out of luck. The coupon no longer applies, so that totally voids the reason to go there.

Oh, and like I said, I want that deal for a DS. I wish I could've traded in my gamecube because it has no purpose now, but whatever.

A GBASP, something that only plays GBA and prior games, to be traded for a DS, which plays DS and GBA games. Hmm.

A used DS shouldn't be more than like $70 right? I mean, DS Lites are $130 new, so that makes the original like $100 new, right?

Re: The Wii is Here.

250 U.S. dollars is such a great deal for this system.
