Commander Obi-Wan Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 The Wii rules! Fixed. And trust me, you'll see a few "Wii"s in this thread.
Datheus Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Maybe they're hard to get That was my point. I've heard that only half of the expected units were shipped. And trust me, you'll see a few "Wii"s in this thread. I expect the Wii to be almost as difficult to get as the PS3. I want to pick one up next week, but I expect less and less to be able to go into Best Buy and get one.
Commander Obi-Wan Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 I expect the Wii to be almost as difficult to get as the PS3. I want to pick one up next week, but I expect less and less to be able to go into Best Buy and get one. Probably. That's why I'll go early and the store I am going to doesn't open until 10 AM my time, so I'll probably be there are 7 AM. Though, there is one thing I am worried about. The fact that some of the games are released already according to the website that I am purchasing it from. So, I hope the games I want are not already sold out by the time I get it.
BongoBob Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 I wanna kick every scalper in the nuts. With steel toe boots. Maybe with spikes. Repeatedly.
RoxStar Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 I wanna kick every scalper in the nuts. With steel toe boots. Maybe with spikes. Repeatedly. Why? Scalping is legal here (Illinois) is it not in other states?
BongoBob Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 You're right. I wanna kick both in the nuts. Without the Buyers there would be no scalpers.
coupes. Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Fixed. And trust me, you'll see a few "Wii"s in this thread. My pics are ready to be posted And Chase, I've even heard of a PS3 selling for $14,000 !
Samuel Dravis Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Either they're rich idiots, in which case I don't know how they got that way unless they have rich family/friends, or they have to go into debt or sell a kidney or a kid or something, also I don't see why should reproduce and are idiots who don't understand money. These people should just give me the $600+ and me and Bongo will kick their @$$es. Same effect only cheaper. F***, I'd do it for free. Not sure about Bongo though. I'd join you. These guys don't seem to get that they could buy 2 absolute topline computers, no skimping on anything (FEAR running smooth as silk, you get the picture) for 10k. They could have gotten like 7 pretty good ones too... I think these guys lost sight of what they were actually getting with a PS3.
jebbers Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 i forgot to cash my two checks so im sitting on $800 USD for the weekend...and thats a potential Wii or something else thats cool! *smacks self around* anyone else wanna take a swing?
Darth Groovy Posted November 19, 2006 Author Posted November 19, 2006 Fixed. And trust me, you'll see a few "Wii"s in this thread. Like this one: Huzzah!!!!
Darth Groovy Posted November 19, 2006 Author Posted November 19, 2006 I hate you ;_; You'll love me in the morning. Trust somebody who is on the frontlines, you WILL be able to get one of these in time for the holidays. Don't sweat it.
BongoBob Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 Oh I don't doubt that. But I hate you because you have your Wii now, whereas I have to wait for at least 6 more hours.
BongoBob Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 Here's my score from this morning... Wii Sports is all I've played so far, but it kicks ass. Now to either get a wireless router, or find a USB-wired-ethernet to use on it...
RoxStar Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 ;_; We wants wii. We being my brothers and I.
DarthAve Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 I had to put this because I will be wearing this on random weekends when I'm mascoting. So I don't exactly OWN it, but I'm one of the few who get's to wear it. So....It's a very good thing ot be mascoting. This is pretty much our exact panther suit, so it's pretty rad.
Commander Obi-Wan Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 And what I got. Got it after a 3 hour wait. I actually wasn't suppose to get one but somebody's transaction didn't work and wait an extra half hour and got the last one! ^_^ No Red Steel available, but I'll get it later this week. And from my b-day and $40.
BongoBob Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 First off, congrats for being so lucky. Second, is CoD3 good? I wanted to get it, but because I wanted Zelda more and my little brother needed a game I got Rayman instead. I hope blockbuster starts carrying Wii games soon
Datheus Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 Trust somebody who is on the frontlines, you WILL be able to get one of these in time for the holidays. Don't sweat it. I heard a second shipment was supposed to be showing up at the end of this week. Details?
Darth Groovy Posted November 20, 2006 Author Posted November 20, 2006 I heard a second shipment was supposed to be showing up at the end of this week. Details? All I know at this point, is that more are shipping this week. Not sure which day or how many. I suppose it verys from store to store. I DO know that all of our reserve customers picked up today, so anything else after today is first come first serve.
Commander Obi-Wan Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 First off, congrats for being so lucky. Thanks. Second, is CoD3 good? It's quite funny, so far. The graphics aren't that bad for it really, IMO. At first, it's sort of difficult to get use to the controls, but once you've figured them out, the game is great. It's pretty intense once you sort the warfare. Though, you will need the Nunchuk the play it. So, my buddy wasn't able to play it since I only at the second Wiimote since all the Nunchuks were out by the time I got the Wii. Though, I haven't played it much really, but I will when I get home from school. but because I wanted Zelda more I wanted Red Steel the most, but they didn't have it. Also, lots of people would disagree with me, but I am trading my Zelda game for a different game. *runs* I hope blockbuster starts carrying Wii games soon Yes, indeed. I want to try a few before I buy them. 'Specially Madden NFL '07. I went yesterday (day of release) and they had nothing up yet, I also wanted to get the Nunchuk and they didn't have it either.

I wanted to get it, but because I wanted Zelda more and my little brother needed a game I got Rayman instead. I hope blockbuster starts carrying Wii games soon IMO, CoD3 isnt all that great. With cutscenes every 10 minutes and running about 3-5 minutes long. Then there is the hit detection. I shot one german soldier in the face 8 times with the M1! all this is on the xbox360 for me not the Wii yet

abespam Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Thanks. Also, lots of people would disagree with me, but I am trading my Zelda game for a different game. *runs* yeh u better...
Commander Obi-Wan Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 I haven't had much trouble in CoD3 on the Wii. Mind you, I haven't played that much yet. But, the gameplay is wicked. Btw, abespam, I have reconsidered and decided to keep it.
