Wii availability

[Raineer]

only way that would even be remotely possible is if it was shipped from another store because they dont come from our distros.

It arrived UPS, you work at a EB Gamestop too?

I was kind of surprised at the messiness tbh, but yeah it just had a pile of games...2 360's and a single Wii.

Good enough for me, regardless :D

[izembo]

yea, i do. the reason i'm saying this is because we arent supposed to tell you how many we have, so saying you only have 1 even if you have more is a common thing that's said.

About fucking time.

Is it available at stores yet?

Would be tomorrow i'm assuming..

That would be pretty sad then, because the mom that was waiting 5 minutes less than I was (3 hours total) left the store and went home. Pretty shitty if the guy didn't sell her one just because.

thats really odd if they did just get 1 in, i guess its possible but i dont really see how unless they have a store somewhere that actually cant sell them? (lmao)

I didn't know they had a EB Gamestop in Antartica, wow these places are everywhere

Is it a small EB? (well, relatively speaking.)

Very, like...as physically small as you could make a store in a mall.

[Exoduso]

That's probably why... I go to two EB/GS's usually, one is about a mile away from my house and is pretty small, so they get relatively low shipments... but they are also kind of hidden in the middle of a center, you know? so not many people usually go to it... I can pretty much get away with buying anything I want the day it is released as long as I get there early enough.

With the other store though, which is at the local mall, it's HUGE... so they usually get much larger shipments than the small store... maybe that's a part of the reason the store you went to only got 1 Wii instead of 3+, like Ize said they usually get.

no, nintendo sends them in boxes of 3. we dont get them at all from our distros. they come in a special box with white tape that we've come to identify. it has nothing to do with the size of the store.

When I got my Wii it came from DHL truck, and the Toy's R Us guy said they come in shipment of 3's , I have also heard this from EB/Gamestop/Curcuit City and my friend who works at best buy. They always comes in shipment of 3's unless nintendo has FINALLY stepped up production, which they still haven't. But shit i want a classic controller and I still can't find one, its almost like looking for a Wii all over again

[izembo]

we have classic controllers in stock, and 1 wiimote, as of close last night XD

[Scythiroth]

I ordered my Classic Controller when I ordered Warioware (yes, I'm lazy and just order games and don't go outside). I hope I get them soon.

[izembo]

man warioware makes me laugh cause we got 4 on release day and only 2 of them have sold. wrong neighborhood for the game XD

I should have probably just gone out and bought it, but I was feeling more lazy than normal that day.

[izembo]

well lotsa places are sold out of it, but as one of the customers who bought one of them said, he "figured our store would have them in stock"

Is your store located in a "non-gamer" neighborhood or something? lol

[izembo]

umm...to put it this way....the games that sell are sports(madden, basketball) and anything with guns(gta, etc.)
