i got mine on ebay. there are tons on there.

Did you have to pay much more than retail?

yes, although not as much as some people seemed to be paying.

Damn my cheapness.

I want one
I want Zelda
Possibly Trauma Center or Rayman or something, not sure what else.

But I want to pay retail!

I need to save my pennies, so I'm waiting for retail as well. I can't say I wouldn't turn around and ebay one I found at retail though. $100 bucks for shipping something ain't a bad way to put some extra cash in your wallet.

Give it another month or so and they'll start showing up more and more. I played Wii tennis this past weekend and it really was a workout. I had a great time. :)

the only video game that i ever wanted growing up was the original gameboy... (still have it, too)
all the others since just seemed pretty lame to me.


but this!!!

yes, i will own one!

told the boyfriend to combine my birthday and our anniversary presents to get me a wii! i can't wait!!

Mr. SSS and I really want one, but we too are waiting for availability at retail. I just cannot bring myself to pay more than $250 for it, knowing that they'll be available for that price within a few months.

I'm thinking about getting a Wii... is it still as difficult to find? Any tips?

They're still pretty hard to find. Around here Sundays seem to be ship day. But you don't usually have to wait in line really early or anything. I walked up to the Circuit City door at 9:45 (they open at ten) and a guy came out and handed me a voucher. I was number 7 out of 12. Then I just waited in my car.

I'd check the ads on Sunday, and try Circuit City, Best Buy, Game Crazy/Game Stop/etc. and some Sears carry them too.


I LOVE mine and am currently on the way to being the best surgeon ever. I totally should have gone to med school!

I'm definitely not a gamer, but a Wii sounds like something I could finally get into. Just never could figure out the buttons on regular games, you know?

Plus, this is too, too, too funny: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8l_4jITxRcc

"I'm cheap...and fun." :D

Lol, and now you can find a PS3 anywhere!

My dad bought himself both the PS3 and the Wii. He decided that he didn't like the Wii as much so he gave it to me for my birthday. My fiance and I have officially turned into nerds...we stayed home last night and played Wii Sports. So fun.

So we gave in and got one for $300 on ebay. It is so much fun. Right now we only have the Wii Sports game that it came with, but we love playing it. You can actually get a little bit of a workout playing tennis and boxing!

I don't even really like video games, and have never owned a consol in my life, but I tried the Wii for the first time at a friend's house last night and had a ball! I'm actually encouraging my bf to get one.
