Well of course we should've all expected this to happen during Christmas season.

I finally have enough money to get a Wii, but now there are none to be found. That's not the bad part. The bad part is a couple weeks ago, I was in Wal-Mart getting food for lunch for my family, and the P.A. says. "Attention Wal-mart shoppers: Looking for the Wii? Well we have some that just came in". And I had no money, but was in the right place at the right time...... just with no money...

That's bad huh?

Nope

What's bad is that a week later. It happened again. "We just got some Nintendo wiis in right now" Still had no money, but wasn't trying to get it then. But now I have about $300, and I can't find it anywhere. I went to several Gamestops and asked, and everytime I felt like a shmuk. Circuit city said they get thier shipment on Saturdays. So I'm going to do some camping out if I can on Friday night. The guy a CC told me that they recieved like 15 Wiis, and they were sold out within 5 minutes.

I'm kind of bitter just knowing that some spoiled little brat is going to get it, over me who freakin' worked his butt off in construction enduring rednecks all day to try and save enough to get one.....


AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!!!!!!

Anybody feel like this right now?

Realizing that the 10-15 years you'll have to wait until it becomes emulatable don't really make a difference either really feels like a tuned down but perfectly authentic version of buddhistic enlightenment. There are many fish in the sea, or games on the net, and the moment you become one with the insight that they are no worse than those you stand in line for for hours and wind up spending an $99 on is one of greatest liberation.

Well, you're right I guess...

But I've always been a nintendo fanboy. And the games that I had to hold me until I obtained a Wii; were sold to my buddy's wife for his Christmas... (My XBOX 360, w 2 Wireless controllers, 1 wired, Gears Of War game, and chargers for the wireless sold for 350$)

So I'm without my main console, and I already played the crap out of my GC games the past two months; sure I enjoyed them, but now I've ran out of things to play... That's why I'm itching for more.... I gotta get my hit...

I have a potential girlfriend. Perhaps this might dilute my desire to be playing games all the time. Used to be that way....

There's probably some website that can tell you when Wii's are available

I got my wii last christmas.

Ok, sorry about that. But why not telling them you want to pre-order one (kinda) so you get it the next time they have Wiis in?

I got a Wii early this summer when there weren't many new games to encourage system sales. Though, didn't buy it with backwards compatibility in mind like the PS3.

Most places are first-come, first-serve.

Supply did finally meet the demand for Wii earlier sometime this year. Which was just a few months or so before holiday season.
