Wii availability

[xerodok]

We got Wii's in this morning. Anyone want the one I got? (*'-')v

[Xavier]

I do, can you be trusted brother?

I'm dying for a Wii, can't find one anywhere.

[xerodok]

I'm gonna list it on eBay later or tomorrow maybe. I'm not looking to got a lot for it but at least more than $265.00. I buy them whenever I see them just for other friends, i've bought a few for friends so far, its just I get them first thing in the morning so its better than them standing out in the cold for one. w

I work at a Gamestop and we only get about 6 each week. We got 15 for launch-reserves,(6 employee and 9 customers) and then we got either 6 or 9 in each week up tell Christmas. The come in boxes of 3, so if someone says that only 1 came in, then they probably holding them which is stupid and i dont do that for ppl at my store.

And those inventory tracking sites are never correct. I know what me and my nearest stores have and those sites are never close.

Best bet, just call and ask which distro. the next batch is coming in, and then get there, tell them your in line and wait for UPS to show up.

some dude at some shitty Sears told me their shipments come in Tuesday and Friday mornings.

If you know when they're coming in, but refuse to camp a few hours one morning to get one, you don't deserve a Wii. /pityoff

Ok, so I got my Christmas Bonus vouchers from work and decided i'd pop into town after work.... I went into Game, Virgin, Cex, WH Smiths, Gamestation and Argos to not be able to find a Wii Remote.... All Wii "Play" games were out of stock aswel. WTF?

Thing is I don't see the Wii sales jumping up that fast so how they are crapping out on stocks lately...

But I have to say, I bought Rayman : Raving Rabbids and I cannot stop laughing at half the shit that happens in game. The whole Mote/Chuk idea works amazingly well, I must of played it from 10PM til 3PM last nite.... LOL at Super-Rabbid (a Rabbit dressed up as super man with a black hair curl on his head)

I bought Monkeyball also which I still haven't opened... am I gonna regret buying that?

*Possible TP spoilers*

I played TP for gamecube and its great but comes to an end much faster than you think it will.

I would even go as far to say that the last two dungeons should only count as one; combined that is.

TP is easily the longest Zelda main quest to date.

Lujan , Amazon.co.uk has remotes in stock now but be quick!!

I am prolly gonna wait until next paycheque now tbh... I spent £138 quid yesterday on a HD cable and 3 games yesterday -.-;;

Why has NFS: Carbon got such a shit review anyways? I find it to be one hell of a nifty game.

You're assuming that a Sears shipment means Wiis. I'm not camping out in front of a Sears for a chance that their Tues/Fri shipment might contain 1 Wii. (Their Wii selection was composed of 3 games)

Also keep in mind I'm in South San Francisco at the moment. No matter where I call, I doubt I can get there in time if they for some reason have a few Wiis in stock.

Today is going to be the last day of effort I put forth in finding this fuckthing thing, I hate spending a half tank of gas and having nothing to show for it besides a game I can't play yet... :/

[Nightstriker]

I got my Wii from Toys R Us :D . The DHL guy was delivering 3 Wii's as I walked in and I got the first one. Everywhere else in my area hasn't got any Wii's in 2-3 weeks. That includes Best buy , Circuit City , and EB/Gamestop.

PS. Anyone know when the Official Wii component cables will come to retail stores?

[Xavier]

I saw the offical cables at a EBGames a few days ago.

[Exoduso]

Go to store.nintendo.com and order them from their online store... I did, and mine were shipped within a day, and arrived within a week.

They make the picture a lot clearer than it would be without them on an HDTV, but don't expect miracles (as in, don't expect it to look like Gears of War ).

And to whoever asked about whether they would regret buying Super Monkey Ball... I have it and trust me, you won't... it's a really fun party game. (As long as you have at least 1 person playing with you that is -- it's extremely boring alone.)

*maybe spoilers*

What I mean is the last two dungeons can both be beaten in like 2-3 hours combined. There's nothing you have to complete to get to either of them(besides completion of the ladder(latter?) dungeon) and they're really easy.

I enjoyed some of the fights in the last dungeon, but if I wanted to have fights like that I could just do cave of ordeals.

[Exoduso]

I've only gotten to the point where you receive the Master Sword (currently hunting down Poes and the likes.)

Does the Sacred Grove count as on of the 9 dungeons?

[Flarega]

no

[Po]

I bought Monkeyball also which I still haven't opened... am I gonna regret buying that?

The multiplayer is tons of fun. My personal favorites thus far are Dangerous Route, Home Run Derby and #1 is Hammer Throw. The single player is frustrating, but it will take time, multiplayer is what really seals the deal though.

[Exoduso]

Well then I can't really see how this game is "short", unless you dash through the game's storyline and use a guide at that.

I'm taking my time, looking for all the heart pieces and poes (I do use a guide for that because it's such a pain running around the world looking for a small thing.)

But I've gotten the Master Sword, and started running around looking for poes (and already have 10 1/2 heart containers) and I've clocked in at 32 hours.

Are the next dungeons just incredibly short? Because it was exactly the opposite in Ocarina really. (the temples were way longer than the 3 initial dungeons.)
