Wii pre-order adventure

Wow, I got back just about an hour ago from a 19 hour and 48 minute campout in front of Toys R Us for the wii. The line wasn’t as bad as I expected, seeing as the store only had 10 wiis and 4 PS3s. People came throughout the night trying to get in line, even up to 5 minutes before it opened. We had to explain that there was a list and it was filled within an hour of its creation. Right before it opened, a load of house moms arrived for the Tickle Me Elmo TMX, which, since we were ushered in before anyone else, we got dibs on the Elmos. Needless, to say, I picked one up. It should fetch a nice price on Ebay before Christmas

PeeS3 will not ship to EU until then. That is another reason why they shut down Lik-Sang?

ps3 sucks a big one! wii all the wayyyy

Posted by antihero on 10-30-2006 10:19 PM:

just ordered mine from Argos, £214.93 with Red Steel and delivery.

Looked at HMV, cant believe those cheeky bastards are flogging the games for £49.99?! I hope all their shops burn down.

Posted by Neversoft on 10-31-2006 12:09 PM:

I don't understand how HMV remain in business... They've always been stupidly expensive and never seem to deviate from the RRP. I'll stick with buying my stuff online thanks

... Now, should I buy a Wii or steal antihero's?

Posted by Neversoft on 11-01-2006 11:42 AM:

WTF??????

You queued for nearly a day JUST to preorder....when you can preorder online????????? Are you fuckin serious???

Posted by Sin on 11-01-2006 11:25 PM:

i think he queued to preorder a wii that will be coming to that store and get dibs on an actual product

ordering online can always end up kinda sketchy

Posted by Avenue_1 on 11-01-2006 11:32 PM:

I'd rather take my chances online than que nearly a day to come home with fuck all.

Posted by Sin on 11-02-2006 12:30 AM:

oh i agree, personally i wouldnt want to stand in a line all day for a console, amazon would do for me.

Ahh the curses of having no money.

At least I wont have buyers remorse!

Posted by jumpmancerros23 on 11-02-2006 03:47 PM:

i work at costco so i will just asked for the day off and get there about 5.00 am thats about the time i go to work anyways last year for 360 we recieved a pallet of them about 40 units so there will be enough wii so that i dont have to preorder or hope there are enough in stock for! Release date is nov 19 but nintendo said that they will have enough units thats the way they are going to compet with the ps3 the ps3 will only ship about 400 thousand and the wii promised about 1 million by the end of december!!! The ps3 will only be shipped to the united states were i live on nov 17 and in march for the rest of you or werever you live goodluck!!!

Posted by antihero on 11-03-2006 12:35 AM:

holy shit. Even just reading that wanted to make me gasp for breath.

Think yourselves lucky. Japan, ie; the PS3's core market, has had its allocation cut from 100,000 to 80,000 on release.

Sony are soon going to implode up there own arses. Well, i hope so.

On the Monday that EB Games started preordering, my 2 friends and I got to the south location at about 8.15am, and there were about 19 people in line. Talking to the last people in line, we learn that the store owner just handed out tickets for ps3's and Wii's. There were still tickets left in his hands at that time. So everyone talks to each other and we have a good time. It was really funny, as the only other people in the mall aside from this long line, was a bunch of older people sitting in the food court. they were all looking at us like 'wtf'.

Anyways, the store hasnt officially opened yet, so people are allowed in to pay 1 at a time. Eventually, the store owner comes out and announces there are no more ps3's, and only 2 more Wii's. My 2 friends got the last 2. Man this sucks! im so pissed off i didnt get one. So i wait for the line to move ahead, and my 2 friends pay. After they were done, we try toys R us to see if i could get one there. Of course not, they had their preorders like 3 weeks earlier.

We're all back in the car and quickly pull into the North EB Games location, and i tell the driver to pull in here, as i had good luck with the EB at that location (when i preordered battlefield 2, they only got 3 headsets, and saved me one).

i walk into the EB and ask the girl behind the desk if there were anu Wii preorders left. she said 'i think we might have 1 more' and the manager in the back told her to be sure. After lookin in the computer for a few seconds they both said yes, i have the last one. woot! Just then, within 10 seconds of me walking in the store, another fellow walks in asking for a Wii.

The manager says sorry but 'even tho i just talked to you on the phone 10 minutes ago, i cant hold preorders like that.'.

SCORE! i got my Nintendo and just in the nick of time.

People who talk shit like that, Gotta love em. You know he's talking shit. How many stores are getting that many machines in.

Oh and Candyman shut up, your 40 years old. You don't understand console gaming. I think there bringing the Atari 2600 back if you wanna try to get into console gaming, You maybe able to play those games. Atlantis was fun.
