I guess I havent been paying attention.
I tried to impulse buy a Wii today and heard most stores wont have more till February - What the hell is going on?
I browsed the Wii sites and didnt see anything special about shortages...
I WILL NOT buy one of these Ebay 600$ deals. WTF?!?!?!?!
$250 - OK - any more - no way!
-
There's a few wii's here in aberdeen wa lol

That's because there isn't anything special about it. That's just the way it's been since November 2006.

Nintendo is doing rainchecks, you get a ticket and you basically wait your turn to get yours

But I have seen them in stores tons of times before.....

looks like you should have snaffled one of those up lol
and this time of year, since Wii is the hottest xmas toy apparently youre gonna have a hard time finding one

I don't know what it's like where you're at, but around here stores seem to a get a shipment of Wii once every two weeks, and then they're all sold out within a day or two at the most. And that was back during the Summer, around Christmas, places where selling out within minutes of getting a new shipment. My friend was at Gamestop looking for a Wii earlier this month, and somebody ran into the store and was like "OMG, Wal-Mart just put out 6 Wiis!" and by the time my friend got there 5 minutes later, somebody was getting the last one. Yesterday I was in Gamestop, and two people came in looking for one within a 30 minute span of time and they told one person that there were still 9 people that had already fully paid for a Wii before Christmas just get on the waiting list.

Its fucking insane really, its not like Wii is that good or anything, theres a few cool games for it but they sell like crap compared to hardware sales, fucking losers buying it for Wii Sports only :-\
-
The shortages are a sign from god.
-
No More Heroes!
Its the main reason why I got a Wii
-
WTF?
I also tried to buy a NDS just now to catch up on some titles like Contra 4 and couldnt find one of those either....
-
Yeah, those have been pretty hard to find since the holiday shopping season started.
-
Nintendo sold out everywhere, pissing all over Sony, who wouldve thought aye

That's bullshit. My store got 3 in yesterday and we got some the week prior as well.
-
I didn't know the DS was hard to get too, I've seen them all over.

I bought a Wii on Friday. The Toys R Us near me had got about a hundred in the afternoon, according to a friend that works there.

It's usually easy, but most places around here sold out prior to xmas and haven't gotten more in just yet. 8)

be prepared for the poopiest image quality youve ever seen on your hot new tv dawg
hopefully you picked up component cables, they make the picture merely assy. Which is a major improvment over 'looks so shit I could only handle playing it for 3 minutes' bad
-
Not at all. It must be because plasma TVs are good at upscaling, unlike LCDs. Even regular SDtv programming looks good on my TV. Trauma Center: NB was kinda blurry without the component cables though.
Edit 1: plasma > lcd
Edit 2: I should play some GC games like F-Zero GX now that I need to play in 480p widescreen! :o
-
oh true, sweet! I just thought that Wii looked like ass on any HD set
my bad :-*
-
It still doesn't look as good as the 360, but that's a given. I don't notice any of the problems that I remember White Man/TVC having when playing Wii on his HDTV (shimmering, horrible jaggies. etc).

You've got to check the sunday ads and line up at 7 in the morning. They're hard to get here, but not as hard as finding guitar hero 3 with the black guitar...that fucker is sold out EVERYWHERE.

I went searching for a Falcon Xbox 360 some Blu-Rays today and nobody even had any on the shelves.
