I need a Wii!

Bubbaphan · Post by **Bubbaphan** » November 16, 2006 3:45 pm

I'd like to get my son a Wii (http://wii.nintendo.com/) for Christmas.
Anybody got any inside info as to which store would be my best shot at getting one? Wally World will have about 20 per store I think.
They go on sale at midnight the 18th (19th?)

Thanks!

The a$$hats camping out for whatever this evening just annoyed me. I mean, I understand camping out for things, but they had tents!! And not some little one person job, one was like an 8man tent!! It is cold and rainy, but they just need to man up!

I want to see the fights tomorrow morning when the nerds realize that there aren't enough to go around.............I heard from a sales dept rep here at work that certain chain stores that have the initials "BB" and had promised to have around 30 consoles were only getting 6...........and another place that starts with a W that had been advertising 10 per store will have only 2.

<-- has never owned a gaming console. That is what they make computers with really fast processors and big video cards for. And you can do email and spreadsheets on the computer after you've blown up the last bad guy.

PUTNAM, Conn. -- Two armed thugs tried to rob of line of people waiting to buy the new Playstation 3 gaming console early Friday and shot one who refused to give up the money, authorities said.

The two confronted a "bunch of people who were in line" outside a Wal-Mart store shortly after 3 a.m. and demanded money, said Lt. J. Paul Vance, a spokesman for the state police. The new Sony consoles are selling for around $500 to $600.

"One of the patron's resisted. That patron was shot," Vance said.

This whole PS3 business just amazes me. Sony has hyped this new toy, not distributed enough of them and caused people to act like fools. And they already said the PS1 and PS2 games won't work until you download some program from their website. And folks KNOW more will be available after Chrismas. Most people interviewed who were waiting in line said they were just planning to turn around and sell it on EBay.

FRUITCAKES!!!!!

skip the hassle. What he really wants, and is afraid to ask for, is a nice set of warm, cushy socks.
