Title: So, I was thinking about getting a Wii
Post by: Catz on March 24, 2007, 12:06:05 AM
What are my chances of actually finding one? Last week I called around to various Gamestops and EBs and all I could get is a "maybe" try Wednesday morning for a "possible" shipment. lols... ;(

Tell Morphix you'll leave Prost and marry him if he buys you a Wii.

Don't do it. Wait until Super Mario Galaxy comes out.

why it will be the same price then and now.  why not enjoy it earlier.

Because you'll enjoy it for 2 weeks and not touch it until Super Mario Galaxy. Might as well wait half a year so then you extend that 2 weeks and enjoy it for 2 more weeks for a total of 4 weeks.

I don't get people.  you by a console as an investment to fun, not for instant fun.

Then why not buy a ps3? It'll have some fun eventually amirite?

I just don't see the point in buying a console unless there's a significant amount of games i want for it. I thought this before I got a Wii at launch, fell into Wii + Zelda hype, and I'm feeling it again because it's the only way about it. I don't think anyone should buy a console because they're feeling the hype or because someone just says to do so. It better have some fucking games to back it up. Either that, or a stead release flow of games, something Wii doesn't have this year.

If the 360 price rumor is right it'll get a price drop.

I play 30-40 games a year Junpei. Out of that number roughly half of which are new. Do the math.

Here's a story:

One time I was in Nintendo World when they got a shipment of Wii's. I'm talking like 60 of them. And they're going left and right like woah. I get up to the counter and the lady sees me eyeballing them and gets all, "Do you want one?" and I'm like "Nah, I gotta save mah scratch". I go home that night, get crazy blitzed, lose 110 bucks and my cellphone on top of the 60 I ended up spending. So, I was out 310$, with no Wii and no cell phone.

Bad move. BUY IT YO

You guys are right. I'm going to wait until more games come out. I especially want Smash Bros. Brawl :heart It's just so tempting right now though.

There were Wii units on sale at my local Circuit City in Chapel Hill, NC this morning. So it shouldn't be impossible to find them as long as you call around when stuff opens.

Thankfully, there was real gaming also available to be purchased at the store-namely S.T.A.L.K.E.R. ($30) and IL-2 1946 ($20).

I downloaded the Xbox360 version of Smash Bros on Live Arcade the other day. Small Arms? It sucked :elephant

Small Arms is pretty bad.

Smash Bros is on 360?  :o  Or is it like Xbox's answer to Smash Bros? Or does it play similar?

I never felt guilty, though I did feel sore in the morning.
