6 stores again, no Wii

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Although I did get a tip from an employee at Target that they're still selling like hotcakes and that my best bet is to check there at 8 (when they open) every day to get one after they get a shipment (apparently no one knows when they come in... some big secret or something :P )

Nintendo won't tell hardly anyone when they come. Most of the shipments we get are completely blind at Circuit City and come from straight from Nintendo instead of going to Circuit's HQ and then to us. It's all top secret. :P

There is no point in having a countdown because i already know that it sucks. Wait until PS3 or XBOX260 re cheeper. I myself have XBOX260 and its wonderfull.

Props to Circuit City. I have been looking for more Wii-motes for a while now. In stores and online everyone is sold out. but on Circuit City Online it says they have some "Store Pickup Only" meaning you can't order them online and have to go your local store.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I drove 35 minutes to mine and disappointingly saw that the aisle was empty :(. A guy that worked there saw me and comes up near me and just waits there looking at me in an inquisitive way. I laugh and say "Online it says you have them..." and I point at the empty rack. He smiles and says "Hey, we do. How many do you want, we have twelve" :shock: I learned later on that apparently since so many people were scalping them on eBay he convinced his boss to hide them, and the Wii's, behind the counter and only sell them to people that mentioned the online site and could prove this was in fact, their closest Circuit City (I had to hand over my Driver's License)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nice to know that they are willing to sacrifice a few sales to be fair to everyone and to help more locals who really want a Wii to be able get one. :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh yea, and the guy gave me a high five when I told him I had a Wii. He then proceeded to talk about how much fun Wii Sports is during the entire checkout, and then gave me his Wii Number on a business card. Weirdest thing was he wasn't a teenager... he was over 35 :shock:

Got released here today, a day ealier than it was suposed to come out. We had tons (well, tons, more like hundred or something :P) of people walking in or calling if we still had them. But we only had three and they were sold out in before we had them in.

Did you get one?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Almost three weeks since launch here, and I still can't find them anywhere. It is starting to get very, very frustrating.

Nah, two weekends ago was a bad weekend for my wallet. Went to Amsterdam for musea/movie/dvds/dinner on saturday and went snowboarding on sunday. So I couldn't afford it anymore. I'll get one in a week or two. Because I can hold them apart for myself anyway. :P

help please?
Yeah ask for help on a forum where virtually no-one else will have a clue. Alternatively you could read the manual or look on the Nintendo site #-o

*Sigh*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I want to play Zelda very badly. But spending $250 on a Wii is a total waste for me. None of the other games they have are even any good. BAH!

okay, first off it's launch time. Usually systems only have between half a dozen and twenty games at launch; the Wii has 62. Secondly, there are several good games out right now: Zelda, WiiSports, MonkeyBall, RedSteel, DragonballZ, NFL '07, heck even Trauma Center is a kick.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And soon to come? NFS, Metroid Prime 3, and let's not forget Super Smash Brothers Brawl :D

Sigh...why couldn't you be a launch game?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Because Nintendo are evil and they think they can sustain us by providing more on-site data on how to beat SSM with all characters on Adventure Mode twice, and get different trpohies for each.

Bleh, once I get off my lazy bum and go to Imageshack, there will be a picture here.

Oh, I guess that makes sense. I had no idea where that came from, I thought he was just complaining. That is a stupid thing to complain about though, my parents would have never bought me a gaming system no matter what.

*hits self around head hundreds of times*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I forgot to tell my parents to pre-order one! Now I gotta wait 'til now come in or I get one off eBay.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Apparently, wait until 23rd of December, go onto eBay, then put ̢̮â¬Å¡Ãâã160 as max. You have like a 90% chance of getting! You should get it for X-mas eve \'

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's what I heard but anytime between 23rd and 26th of December is a good time to get one if you missed the pre-order! Like Me! *smacks*

Yea, to me, those games you listed are all worthless, lol. But like I said, that's just *to me*. In my eyes, the Wii just has a punch of kiddie-styled games and they're pumping out more, which is lame.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I played RedSteel, it was pretty bad, lol.
