So I really want a Wii, it looks like the only system that will give me that nostalgia of the first time I picked up an NES controller.
I have an XBOX360... it's been at a buddy's house for a few months now... kind of a waste to be honest. Only time I play is when me and 3 other buddies are together. However, that new Wii control looks like it will be a huge blast. Six pack with Zelda... yea sounds good. Graphics are just not doing it for me. I have seen very very little innovation between PS1 and PS2 and definately nothing new with PS3.
So, now that pre-orders are out and done, what's a solid way of getting one. Will EB games have extra ones? Or will Best Buy be the best chance?

I am a department manager at a wal-mart (until I graduate next fall), and we are going to recieve a MUCH larger supply of them than many people are giving credit to. We only got 6 ps3's and they already have people waiting overnight in tents for them. The wii will be much more available than the ps3 if that comforts you at all.

Any idea what time that will be at? It's 24 hours here in Fl (not sure if it's like that elsewhere).

I'm going to be in my Wal*Mart mid-day Saturday to be safe, but it shouldn't be a problem at all. I was a CSM for a while and so the inside info I managed to get is reassuring.

If you live in the US, from what I understand Target is not doing preorders, they're just selling first come, first served. As such, I will be camping out at around 6am (really no different than when I normally wake up anyway) with my buddies to get our hands on 'em.
Check out your local retailers, not everyone subscribes to preordering! |

good call from dray
Target.
when the ds came out, bestbuy, frys, eb games, gamestop, wal-mart. etc were all sold out. went to target around 5 pm, they had ~20 units. check it out if you have one nearby. ill be there at 8am with $400. the unit, red steel and zelda. and like dray said, i dont think they reserve/pre-order units.
my buddy flew in from shanghai to san fran last week to see his family and pick up a wii and ps3. he said yesterday morning ppl were camped outside of bestbuy for the ps3

I went into walmart to see what the ps3 line was like so I could get some idea of what the Wii line will be like... There were people there from Tuesday even though the console just came out today. Crazy people... Two and a half days. I'm going Saturday morning/evening for the Wii...

My lord, why bother getting a console system when they first come out? They cost way too ****ed much and dont have the game selection out yet.
I just recently bought an x-box 360 last month. Got a few games with it, and am glad I waited.
The Nintendo Wii is next on my list too. I will wait till around feb or march to get one. Then Ill have a decent selection of games for it to buy and rent.

Wii plus 2 pads and 2 game sis about same as a core 360 system plus it has plenty of games on release day, nintendo have bneen smart and staggered the "Big" releases so u get chance to play them properly befor erushing out to get the next one. the reason its been so long fo rits release is so nintendo can supply the demand they are getting, on release day there is a limited amount in UK only because the company whoe supplies the games stores liek Gamestation/Game are being arses, the independant shop i'm gettin mine from is only gettign 2 in and 1 is guaranteed mine cos i'd already paid for the console, extra control/nunchuk, zelda, NFS - Carbon, redsteel already. the week after release they are gettign 15 in. gamestation is only receiving 30 on launch day.
