The Wii Thread
lil_rebbitzen:
I was unable to preorder a Wii, since the campers got all the preorders.
Which means I will be at either Best Buy or Target (neither of which will be preordering, If I remember correctly.) to get mine. Then I'll go to EBGAMES to pick up my copy of Zelda for the Wii. That will be my last purchase from EBGames. After that, I plan on using the GameStop near my house for my gaming needs. They're nicer.

EBGames is GameStop.

Eh, kind of. GameStop bought out EB, but my understanding is that Gamestop doesn't plan to disolve the Electronics Boutique brand.
Pointless nitpicking, though.
Anyway, yeah, especially when it comes to the Wii, hardcore campout preordering, to which I must admit my own guilt (I camped out at my local GameStop for two hours before they opened to get my preorder), is probably not going to be necessary. The launch quantities are going to be more than sufficient. You might not get one on the first day, but anyone who wants one before the end of the year will probably be able to get one without any trouble.
The most important thing to do, if you don't get it on day one, is to keep tabs on your local stores. Call them every day and ask if they have it that day. If you can get to know the manager of one of them, do so. He or she will probably be glad to help you out. That's how I got my DS on day one: I used to know the manager of an EB.
Grawsith:
I'm in Oz, and I just strolled in, sold my 360, and preordered late September. Now I've fully paid it off and can just walk right in, flash my ID, and walk out with the Wii, Zelda, and Red Steel. Kickass!
(And before you ask, i sold it because i was bored with it.)

Hey, does anyone know definitely know if the Wii is region-free? That sort of determines if we can order off of Play Asia...theirs are Japanese.

Well, in a way yes, since Gamestop bought them, or merged or whatever. But I'm referring to them seperately because of the ones near my house (there's 3 GS's, 1 EB; it gets confusing around here, so...). I've just had a lot better experience with Gamestop than I've had with EBGames.
