I need a Wii !!

[GrnBay007]

Anyone know where I can find one?

[MJZiggy]

They're on sale at Target.

[GrnBay007]

They're on sale at Target.

You mean the sale beginning tomorrow?

[MJZiggy]

It was in some catalog I got from them for the Christmas season. I don't see a date on it, it just says "shop in store or online." It has the wii listed at $249.99.

[packinpatland]

Don't get one!!!!!!! It's addictive!!!!! :wink:

[GBRulz]

you can't find a Wii anywhere, Zig. Hence the reason why people are paying $350 bucks for them on ebay again.

[MJZiggy]

Well that's stupid. What'd they put it in the ad for if they don't have it?

[Jimx29]

Well that's stupid. What'd they put it in the ad for if they don't have it?It's a form of bait and switch that you can't "officially" call bait and switch, which of course is illegal

[GrnBay007]

OK............so did any of you RATS run out and buy 2 before the Christmas rush started? ....and willing to sell? :twisted:

[GBRulz]

Buy me a PS3 and I'll trade :lol:

[GrnBay007]

Come on peeps, whip out the Wii !!

Can you do some gal to gal playing on the Wiii; kind of like virtual reality with Jessica Simpson, Jenny Finch, and Carrie Underwood

[MJZiggy]

Only if you're Tony Romo.

[Freak Out]

Not me; she still owes me for a bet from 12 months ago :!: :lol:

They are pretty fun. And I am not trying to taunt you with this, only confirmation that you are not crazy about your desire to get one.

I have owned one for the past year. I picked it up from a college student who needed tuition money. He had several games with 4 controllers and nun-chucks and I bought it for $300. :lol:

We play mostly family games on it. Last night we played for about 4 hours with the new game Mario Galaxy. There are a lot of games even my 6 year old can jump in and play. Even the wife will play sometimes.

I rarely play it by myself. I am kinda of a graphics whore so its either the PC or the Xbox 360 when I play games. I have never invited any friends over just to play the Wii. But around here several bars have them and they are always being used.

If anyone out there already owns one you can get free rubber jackets from Nintendo. http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/jacket/jacketrequest.jsp

Nintendo seems to be pretty concerned about a class action lawsuit so they are giving these things away. In walmart jackets of lesser quality sell for over $12 each. These are free if you already own a Wii and I think all the new consoles come with them. And you will want them to prevent events like these.

I told you I'd buy you a lapper at the naughty club but you didn't come to the PR game

Now stop making excused and pay up :lol:

[Freak Out]

No dice darling...I was told to keep my eyes peeled because they can show at any time.

[MJZiggy]

Well, I have to go to Costco this week anyway...

[mraynrand]

We bought two so everyone can go Wii Wii.

[4and12to12and4]

The Tiger Woods game is the best. A buddy of mine has it, and it's probably the only game I like on it, but it's addictive. It is awesome playing on those courses, they look so real to life. The best way to get one is on Ebay, if you're patient enough you can get one for under $150.00 with games included.

[GrnBay007]

This is crazy. Still no Wii in sight!! They had a few at Best Buy on Sunday and there were people camped out for hours waiting. Sat. was when we had all that sleet and snow and Sun. the wind was horrible. Are people nuts???

yes

[SkinBasket]

I would recommend downloading one of the many RSS feeds that are tuned into on-line retailers of the Wii. Then you get a pop-up when they become available. I was able to pick one up last Dec that way, when in theory there was more demand and less supply.

[mmmdk]

Only if you're Tony Romo.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[Harlan Huckleby]

what is a Wii? Is it taken internally?

[MJZiggy]

Internally in which end should be your question...I have a feeling Mad would be glad to show you...

[Harlan Huckleby]

sounds like a probe of some sort.

[Freak Out]

I think you can get a colo-rectal controller with it.

:bclap: :D I got a Wii !!!! :D :bclap:


My friend's kid works at Best Buy and called her Mom when a shipment came in today. She called me so I left work and had to drive all the way across town...about 1/3 of the way there she called and said there were 15 total and only 9 left so hurry!! As I was pulling in the parking lot she called and said there was only one left. I'm walking in and she says "there it goes". My friend has a bit of a mouth on her and started complaining cause she saw a guy taking two. I think it helped...pretty soon one of the employees came walking back with one and handed it to me. :D Always nice to have an obnoxious friend...lol So from the time the shipment came in I'm wondering how many phone calls were made by the employees....in 20 min. all of them were gone.

Congrats I think.

[GBRulz]

That kid who had two was probably pissed because he just had $200 of profit taken away..lol. Those things are going for $400+ on ebay again.

good job, 007 !!!

[Freak Out]

This is one of the downsides of ebay.
