I WANT A WII!

I'm thinking of freezing myself. I've called all the stores. I'm not hardcore enough, theres too many people at each store already for the midnight rush. Maybe I'll go at 4 am, maybe a little before, for a store that opens at 8.

If I don't get one tomorrow, it'll be weeks before I get one, ya?

The Wii should be pumping out consoles pretty fast, so you won't have to wait that long.

Good luck then getting one so you can play all the games you already bought !
I think there's more chances of you not finding a PS3 than a Wii somehow though ...

Or go to a store no one ever thinks about that sells games and consoles , there might be some spare there.

I see guess it will be harder for you then but with the signature I dont think it shows up because its only meant for our gamercards .

I'm not still 100% sure which game(s) I should get. I think I'll get Red Steel, but Zelda might be fun as well. The last Zelda game I finished was Link's Awakening on my Gameboy.

I dont think I ever finished a zelda game but I always get towards the end before getting lost and giving up. I think you will be fine with either of those games but Ill only get one game , thats all I can afford .

LOL thats me with Final Fantasy 7, 8, 9, and 12. I get to the point to go kill extra Weapons, kill a few, quit, bored.


I did not get a Wii . I barely tried. I called places around 930pm last night, they had lines so all their midnight ones were claimed. Then I could have went to Target, but apparently some people were already there at 10pm when they closed last night, waiting for 8am today. I thought about it, I weighed the options while laying in bed with my alarm set for 3am...

And decided that trying + failing is a worse outcome than not trying + sleeping. . So why try, if you can fail? I'll order one online asap and go with the slow, comfortable route of purchasing a Wii.

My Wii is preordered with Amazon.co.uk and I have been promised it will be delivered on the 8th December. I ordered Red Steel aswell. I wanted Mario Galaxy too but didnt realise it comes out in March 2007! I thought that would have been a launch game. Anyway, roll on the 8th!
