Just got back from Gamestop where they started taking preorders for the Wii, was number three in line! I felt bad for the people who showed up right before the store opened and got turned away, but tooooo bad And yes I know I am a major dork, but I don't care. Have Red Steel and Zelda reserved, can't wait ;D

Well, as long as you are okay with that, then so are we. Just don't talk about it really loud in public with us, okay?

Lucky! (in his best Napolean Dynamite voice) I got to EB before the store opened this morning. I'll give you one guess what happened. Yup, you guessed it - the person in front of me got the last allocated preorder. The best I could do was preorder a few games and a controller and hope they get additional systems. I AM first the wait list. I preordered Zelda, Red Steel, and Elebits... so worst case scenerio I can look at the boxes and pretend.

I really want one but am waiting a bit longer...I'm only really excited about Zelda at the moment and hopefully I can check that out over at Mal's house once he lands his console. You all will have to let me know how the games are.

Bummer Mal. From the sound of Nintendo they are actually ahead of their target production. Saw an article saying that on Gamespot. You probably have a very good chance of getting one from your EB or another store on launch

That is the only reason I'm holding out hope - I've read the same thing. Additionally, I've heard Toys R Us will be doing preorders too. I think I'll manage to get one some how.... even if I have to mug some punk kid in the parking lot.

Woo hooo! I got my Wii after all! Gamestop just called and apparently they had an employee from a different store who was gonna prepurchase the console but dint show up - so - they called me! As I was checking out, one of the other sales people said to the one checking me out , "So-an-So is gonna be mad at you!" to which Goth Sales Guy checkin me out said, "So! He pissed me off, he said it wasnt worth driving all the way over here to pre-purchase. So now John gets it!" Yay for angry Goths!

Yay!! I'm really looking forward to the Wii. Poor Mal called me at work to tell what happened this morning, and we were both so disappointed. I just knew some random act of fate was going to solve the problem. Serendipity FTW!

I need to grab one of them thar things fer da kiddies myself. They have gamecube, so if I score them a Wii I'll be a god among gods because not only does daddy and mommy have an uber cool gaming site, awesome games and woot-worthy computers and gaming buddies, but mom and dad scored them a WII!! Go us.... I'mma have to slaughter a Santa, me thinks.... And apparently gaming gods that score cool systems can't firkkin' type....

Hehe. I don't think you should have too much trouble if you hit the stores early that morning they launch Morg. Nintendo is getting out a pretty big number of systems. From what I have read, about 4-6x as many 360's and PS3's at their respective launches.
