*grumble grumble*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2 targets, 2 walmarts, a best buy, a circuit city, and 3 hours later...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

no wii and no idea of when theyll get another shipment

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I only went to that one Wal-Mart, so I didn't waste as much time as you did, but it still kind of made me mad. As far as I know the next shipment is December 13.

I picked one up out of sheer hope and I caught a snicker =\

Hehe...we like our empty boxes! The night before the PS3 was released, we got one of our employees in just regular clothes to walk out with an empty PS3 box. The 6 frat guys waiting in line were about to beat the snot out of him. :P

Best Buy holding Wiis, lying to customers - Saw this article on digg. In the comments a few said many of the stores have Wiis, they are just holding them for Black Friday. So if you want to battle on Black Friday, you might be able to get one then.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I dont get it, whats the difference between selling now, and selling the day after thanksgiving?

Advertisement. If they advertise it on Black Friday they can bring in more customers. If they advertise it for Friday, but don't have any because they sold them all today, they get sued for false advertising.

There are going to be lots of sales on Black Friday - so getting them into the store that day is very profitable instead of just selling it now.

Having recently playing the wii it's really what I thought it was going to be. A gimmick. It's a gamecube with a fancy controller. The controller isnt even an original idea (because I think we've all seen those stupid plug and play games before).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was able to play Madden 07 and TP. Madden was nearly impossible to get the hang of at first and the graphics were less then impressive ( compared to the PS2 and 360 version).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My guess is Nintendo took the gamecu..wii to it's limits with TP. The sword fighting is kinda cool but the whole slingshot was a bit difficult at first. Either way, it's leaps and bounds over Windwaker.

The problem with the gene pool is that there's no lifeguard.

Please clarify as to how the controller resembles a plug and play game.

Might not be the best example but these sort of things have been out years before the wii. All nintendo was capitalize on this idea by "perfecting" it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

following on from your logic, i could therefore say 'all sony and microsoft have done is take a console thats been around for years and 'perfected' it' or 'all honda and toyota have done is come along and got a horse which has been around for years and 'perfected it' into a car'

Got TW Princess? I do.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now all that's left is to get the Wii. How hard can that be?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*raises hand*

 

 

 

Lol, same deal here. I bought the game for a friend but he bought one off eBay by the time I told him. I was going to return the game but decided I'll want it once I get a Wii :wink:

Oh, you'll want it - I can guarantee that. Super monkey ball and Tony Hawk feel like complete trash compared to zelda. I must have played them under an hour cumulatively, while I've put around 16 hours into Zelda. It's just so hard to put that controller down.

I'm thinking I might get Marvel: Ultimate Alliance also since TW was my birthday present from march. Has anyone played it?

I heard it was pretty decent, but check IGN or something before you buy it
