SharkTums Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Ok, so Robb and I tag teamed this morning to find the shortest line and the most Wii's available! Robb won, so I went down to his location to take his spot and he headed off to work. I didn't know that he actually got the better end of the deal!!!!! CREEPY PRE ORDER WII PEOPLE TR!!!! Well, I suppose it all was worth it in the end! BTW, Jahan, Robb and I will be on a cruise, will you go pick it up for us!?!? And he's singing with a Guitar! Oh dear, please kill me now. Just when I think it can't get any worse, Topless Mario shows up... Wow, look at all these awesomely cool people I'm surrounded by! Am I sure I want to stand here, I could probably sell my number to the soccer mom's showing up late for like $100! Thanks for your time, patience, and money, but keep in mind, there's a good chance you still won't get one! Yay, I'm #28 of 36 total (including 4 for employees and 4 for day of) Wii's that this location will have on release day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Nintendo Wii looks totaly awesome! I hope Santa brings one for me for Christmas! I guess brining your camera to gamestop comes in handy! Lol Mario looked a little less harier in the video games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 LMAO at Creepy Naked Mario! I'm gonna wait till March to get my Wii, for the new Sonic game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 ^Same, that game is the only good-looking Sonic game right now (Sonic 360/PS3 looks like a crappy furry fanfic right now). All I just want is a fast hedgehog blazing through levels defeating a fat old man in a hovercraft. That, and when SSBrawl is released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterExpert13 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Wii Coolness yeah...the gamestop that I go to here was having a "1 day pre-order blowout"....So I headed up to gamestop at 8:30am (though it didn't open until 10am) and waited...I ended up being #5 on the pre-order list which is better that the #23 spot I had for the Wii at FYI...I ended up reserving Guitar Hero II with the FYI $50.

vjgx Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Topless Mario + Acoustic Guitar = RUN! Anyway, it's good to see you got your Wii preorder... because I was stupid enough to forget they started the preorders today. Oh well, I'm just gonna have to storm a Best Buy or something at like 3 in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DallasAlvey Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 You seriosly need to get a life if you're walking around dressed like Mario. Especially if you have no top on and are playing the guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USCoaster Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I went to my Gamestop and they had 12 pre-orders available. And I was #14 in line. Of course, I got there right at 10 when they opened so I didn't waste too much time waiting. I would have been there earlier, but I had a meeting at work I had to attend. Does anybody know when/if Best Buy is doing pre-orders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoshiFan Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Best Buy typically does not have pre-orders for systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zen Coaster Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I've preordered mine from Toys'R'Us as in Australia they're offering a free game at launch for those who get in and put a $50 deposit down. What game choices we will have remains to be seen and the employees didn't know but hey, it's something for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkdcoaster Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I don't think it will be necessary to preorder a Wii. I am sure you can go into any major retailer (Circuit City, Best Buy, Toys R Us) on 11-19-06 and pick one up. Nintendo has said that they will have plenty available (I believe it too, due to the basic hardware itself not being that much advanced). PS3 has reduced its forecast again to under 400,000 for USA. so they will be about $2,000 on Ebay by mid December. Wii's will be everwhere (hint for you guys getting one on day 1, for some reason EVERYBODY forgets about Toys R Us on system launch days. ) JEFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJMouse Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I preordered mine like a month ago :/ In the US, everyone had to preorder on the same day? (I didnt understand the waitingline) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tacoking Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Fanboy is such a harsh word...there is a difference between being a fan of the system and company and being a fanboy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masked_Maverick Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Fanboy? Sorry dude but (to me anyway) t looks like the Wii is going to be somehting sepcial while the PS3 has too much going against it and Sony only shipping 400,000 units at launch is a dumb move.

tacoking Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Well it's not like Sony decided, "Let's only make 400,000 for the US launch." That's just the number they could create by the launch date in November, plus they have to feed some to other territories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkdcoaster Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Yea, in this current Gen I jumped on GC and PS2 very early in their life only to see price drops and awesome bundles follow soon after. I still have a HUGE backlog of games for both of these systems I havn't played yet. So I will probably wait a couple years for the Wii and 360/PS3 and see what kind of deals there are plus games will be much cheaper by then. I just can't justify spending the money on them right now. But the Wii does look like fun! JEFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just the number they could create by the launch date in November, plus they have to feed some to other territories. True, but I do believe that the PS3 has other factors going against it. Too high a price and nothing very original in their launch line-up. Again this is all just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrowfanman Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Well, I suppose it all was worth it in the end! BTW, Jahan, Robb and I will be on a cruise, will you go pick it up for us!?!? No. ...well, I suppose I can, but dont be surprised if the box is opened when you get back. I have always dreamed of playing with your Wii. And a grin with a "huh?" for topless-jewish-mario guys! -Jahan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
