^I played the MonsterStorm at a Target yesterday and graphically, it's nice...otherwise, just another normal video game holding a controller. I can get the same enjoyment playing my 4-wheel Thunder for my Dreamcast instead of shelling out 500-600 bucks to do the same. Actually, MonsterStorm felt kinda Slo-mo and somewhat choppy to me.

Our Wiis came in today!!,

at least half of them ( I hope ) We should get another 33 in the next 2 days.

We got in 27.... OMFG I want to take one home right now, I don't want to wait, but we didn't get in LoZTP yet, so I guess I'll have to wait.

I took a Wii out of the case, it was heaver than I expected, it's definitely heavier than the GC but not quite as heavy as the old X-box, but almost. No where near as heavy as the 360, I bet all the weight is in the Wii-mote, I hear they are pretty heavy.

 

We got in some games too

Happy Feet

Rayman Raving Rabbids

Madden 07

Super Mario Galaxy (yeah right)

GT Pro Series

and last but not least

Red Steel

They better get in gear and send the other 20 or so titles within the next 2 days.

 

I got a few shots of the cases at work, I know, yippie

They come 3 to a case, maybe tomorrow I will have a little more time to F' around and take all the pics I wanted to of all the Wiis that I can't have yet

 

only 3 more days!!!!!

 

P All " I still don't know if the plural for Wii is Wii ??"

One more, I wanted to pull 3 out of the case and take a pic w/ them, but I got busy so I couldn't play around anymore. I wonder if "RVL" stands for Revolution? Hmmmmm....

It doesn't say Wii or Nintendo any where on the box. The lable just reads "White System W / Sports"

Behold a whole gaggle of Wii !!!!

The boxes look like the DS lite box, just bigger and they don't say Nintendo

Yup, just white at launch, just like the DS lite.

They didn't want to complicate things for launch and also to punish those of us who get the system at launch.

They will probably release a few different colors next year around the fall.

It's OK, my Wii will match my Lite

See, they have lots to choose from, all with matching Wii-motes.

Those are the boxes that I shipped. We passed over 5000 through our hub alone going all over the place. They were such a pain in the butt too...they are great to pack into the trailers but they arent exactly light (seems to be 2 per box - otherwise its heavy) and they came to our areas by the 100's.

 

So, depending on where you were, I might have loaded (or my people) those boxes

I feel a little bit better, I just found out, today that we are going to get in 60 Wiis

So I should be able to get mine a launch with out waiting all night and just going up at midnight.

On another note we are only getting in 11 PS3s, 6 @ $600. and 5 @ $500. there goes my eBay plan, I definitely aint getting one of those at launch.

We still don't have our playable PS3 yet, but I did get to play one at Target over the weekend, the choices are NBA 07 or Motorstorm, yippie

Motorstorm was OK

NBA, well ....

The whole PS3 experience was just, meh,

 

I heard our local Target has 120 in stock. Do you think that if I got up at 2 am, and went to Target on release day, that we'd be able to get a Wii?

 

In order to stay awake, I'm bringing a backpack, some snacks, my DS, and a lot of time.....

I think i may have actually gone as low as to wake up at likre 5 am and wait at sams club...

 

My biggest fear is them saying "oops, we're not getting Wiis!"

 

*Runs to costco* [its right across the street, how convienent!]

 

I remember when the 360s came out everyone was camping at bestbuy, while you could have showed up at costco at 8 am and got one within minutes. stupid gamers.

Nintendo expects supply shortage of Wii

By Justin Mann, TechSpot.com

Published: November 1, 2006, 7:06 PM EST

 

Nintendo's Wii launch is quick approaching, with Nintendo promising 4 million units to be rolled out during the next six weeks. While they don't see a problem in delivering those units, they do predict that there will be a supply shortage due to high demand during launch:

 

4 million... I hope I can get one Sunday!!!

I know what Elissa will be doing this weekend....playing with my Wii!

 

Our "retail kits" came in today.....

And for all you "Empty Box Enthusiasts" here's a picture that will give you an erection the size of Rhode Island!

If I had a Wii controller surgically replacing my nose, this is what I would look like.

See how the Wii fits nicely in between chins #2 and #5 (it covered up chins #3 & #4)

My Wii looks nice and comfortable under that blanket.

"Quick Setup...." I'm all about quick!

Opening the box is like an Ikea project!

"Anyone want to play with my Wii?"
