 Wii on wednesday?
the rumor is that walmart will be getting limited quantities going on sale Wednesday morning. has anyone else heard this or have proof?
I have class Wednesday morning that I can't miss (or my grade will drop) and we have NO 24 hour walmarts in philly (BULLSHIT!!)
anyone have a hook up or know something I don't know?

Not giving money to WalMart is a good thing.

how much are they selling Wii in the States?? its about $300 here for the US edition machine and about $250 for the Japanese version. Yes, only the Jp edition can play Jp games. Both editions are readily availble in HK.

thanks skylar ^^
i'm thinking i can wait. wal-mart is hard enough to deal with already. adding hard to find electronics will just make it worse.

I don't know about massive. the local walmart here got 9. I think I'm gonna skip going out there at like 4 AM to get in line.
I hope there are massive shipments. maybe I can find one somewhere else then.

I don't know, it seems like everyone on the internet knows that Walmart is getting them. any walmart I called and asked "can I be transferred to the electronics department" they would just ask "are you calling about the Wii?" and tell me the deal right then.

hahaha oh come on!
you know, it's really disappointing having to grow up and have commitments.
if this was 3-5 years ago, I would probably have one by now because I wouldn't have had to worry about missing jobs or class or any of that stuff. I would just go out and wait, no big deal. but then again I also delivered pizzas for a living.

It was kinda funny yesterday at Bestbuy... I went to go pick up Pirates 2 yesterday, and I got to the Bestbuy near my work a little early, and there was a pack of people standing outside the door waiting.
As soon as the door opened, they all flooded in, sorta did a cursory survey of the floor as a pack and they all left as a group when they saw that there weren't any Wiis or PS3s. It kinda looked like a bunch of rats going through a maze.

Let's not get crazy. Nothing is more ridiculous than toys.
On the positive side, I just got my new issue of Oui. (Is that even still a magazine? I'm old.)

When I was a little kid, I'd see that magazine on the pharmacy magazine racks, and I always thought it was pronounced "Oy"
