qft

What's with all these "waah I can't find a Wii at Walmart" posts? Dude, there are about 10 stores within 5-15 miles of me that have Wiis (Walmart, Gamestop, EB, Circuit City, etc). Suburbs FTW, right TBS?

Post by: Himu on November 19, 2006, 01:19:06 PM: You should have went to a store early this morning when they opened. You would have snagged a wii easily.

Post by: cubicle47b on November 19, 2006, 02:47:01 PM: There's one in my living room (one of my roommates bought one this morning) but I can't play it since he took both of his remotes into his room before he went to bed. I can't even play a GC game on it since you need the remote to navigate menus to start the game. Oh well, mine comes in tomorrow. Then I can play Trauma Center and Zelda.

edit: Fucker's using my component cables, though.

I bet he'll make you trade in your licenses every time you wanna play it

Post by: Mondain on November 19, 2006, 02:56:01 PM: wonder if ill be able to get component cables though :/

neither futureshop or bestbuy, or amazon have them in their inventory

hopefully, either Wal-Mart, Zellers or EBGames have them

and id much prefer the official stuff instead of some third party shit

Not for a little while. And it's going to be hilarious when I steal my component cables for the 36" SDTV in my room (where I do my gaming) which will force him to use composite cables on my 46" DLP HDTV which is the main house TV.

I have the official ones. Came in the mail on Friday. They're good quality.
