    Default getting the wii is the hardest thing

    well today i spent a good 3 hours of my ****ing life searching for a nintendo wii around my area, i went to 2 bestbuys, 4 fyes, 2 ebgames, 1 gamestop, none of them have. i was thinking of ordering online but the websites only got budle packs like mario budle pack for 420$ i dont want to spend that much at once, one of the fye said someone ordered a wii from a store pretty close from my house and if the person doesnt show up i i get to buy it but i highly doubt he isnt going to show up, so to get to the point, anyone know what sinte only sells the system/console only instead of a budle pack?

    yes ive heard nintendo wiis are bad, alot of people traded it in for a 360 but i d c i want a wii so badly!

    I was lucky that there was only one Wii left at the Circuit City around my area...Do you have one in yours? You might wanna try there

    I had to wait in front of Toys R Us for 3 hours before they opened. But that was back in March. Try calling stores to see when they're getting a shipment in. And I'd suggest not getting a Wii yet until some good games are out. I didn't even LoZ: TP. I haven't even turned on my Wii for like 4 months. It's boring right now...

    You don't have any friends. Stop calling yourself a dumb ass. Just kidding

    I could never camp in front of store. I get paranoid when I sleep with people who I don't know. Which is exactly why I'm not a male prostitute.

    All i did was walk into my local gamestop around 3pm the day the wii came out and bought it.

    Yes i got extremely lucky.

    But i have since sold it on craigslist used for 380$ and bought a 360.

    Its Nintendos marketing strategy. They did the same thing in the early 90s when Segas Mega Drive was kicking the SNESs ass.

    They basically make limited stock so it looks like the system is sooo good its in high demand. When the truth is, they are just doing this to create demand for the machine.

    Take my advice.

    STICK TO PC.

    CONSOLES ARE SHIT!

    Mario Party 8 is the lamest excuse for a game. **** Nintendo for ruining what could have been an ill game. Plus the pushed back the release date so I was hoping it would be half decent. UGHHG
    Hangover.
