Wii-eee! last modified: Sunday, November 19, 2006 (8:49:09 PM) At midnight last night, we went to EB Games to pick up our Wii. The same people who pre-ordered their system at that location were lined up outside the store. They were in the exact same order and everything. We stood outside in the cold for about 15-20 minutes while people were allowed, two at a time, to go inside and buy their systems. We made sure to pay off our system in advance, so we could quickly checkout and get home.
The district manager was present for the transactions and when our system was rung up, we owed them ........ 1 penny! WTF?! We made sure we paid off the system ahead of time, so how the hell did we end up owing them one cent? So strange. The DM told the store manager to just let it go. It was hilarious. (We were scared they wouldn't let us have the system ;_;) There are a ton of features to customize and tweak. The Mii aspect is cool as hell. You basically get to create little 3-D versions of yourself, they resemble Lego people. We spent a few hours making ourselves, family members and celebrity Miis. They make cameos in some Wii games, so it's worth the effort. We have Twilight Princess, Trauma Center and, of course, Wii Sports. The game that's proved to be the most entertaining is Wii sports because of the competitive angle. You get to bowl, box, play baseball, tennis and golf. The interactive aspect to each game is SO FUN!!! And the controller is extremely accurate. You'll find yourself running around and jumping and looking like a fool while you play but you just don't care. It's just that fun. The beauty is in the simplicity. There's nothing fancy or over the top going on. It's just good clean fun. Can't wait to try Wii sports while intoxicated. :P The Wii is everything I imagined it would be. All the pre-release hype, ads and blogs were right. The control is smooth and responsive, the graphics are superior to Gamecube (it's not just running on the old Gamecube hardware, that's a myth) and it's just so damn fun to play! Shouldn't games be fun? I'm tired of ripping my damn hair out everytime I die because a game is incredibly difficult or confusing. Plus, you get a great workout. My arms are killing me right now. *_* I also couldn't stop laughing. The Wii makes ya feel good. It's more fun with more players. Perfect for parties. I love it! I've managed to scan some cels that have been lying around and I might actually upload them soon. I also owe several people PMs and emails (sorry guys!) Oh! I almost forgot! I saw Casino Royale on Friday and it's fabulous!!! I loooved it so much. It's about time a British actor took on the role (it's been a looong time). It's interesting to note that it's an American movie about a British character (novel) played primarily by Irish/Scottish actors. How weird. Anyway, the new Bond is very exciting and there are no end to the plot twists. Go see it! And buy a Wii! Right now!!! You won't regret it. =) http://welcomeconsumer.com
I think my mom and I are going to get my brother a Wii for Christmas... lets hope this whole "There will be no shortage of Wiis in the US" proves to be true... haha @_@ I want to play the new Zelda game on it! lol...
You lucky gal!!! Can I come over to play the Zelda game? *puppy-dog eyes*
Glad someone else was able to get a Wii also without too much trouble. Thank goodness for preorders!
Wow, lucky you. I didnt bother preordering because i knew when it came around i wouldnt be able to pay for it. Well, when and if i ever get one, and if they release some online games for it. It''d be cool to have a rubberslug members tournament or something. lol
Hey I''m glad you are having SOOO much FUN! I''ve been thinking of getting a Wii too since I don''t think I can get my hands on a PS3 right now. Outrageous lines and prices... FEH... But hmmm... Glad to hear about the Wii experience. I''m going to check it out. X-D
i''m glad you love the Wii Toni... I''ll let you know what I think when I eventually get one. Yes I did have one pre-ordered in JULY... but I got screwed and don''t have my precious Wii I''ve been wait for. It sucks so bad, it really isn''t funny. I bought Zelda and Red Steel though. =\ I''m so jealous of you toni!!! I want my Wii.... Can I play with yours?
You totally suck!!! Now I have to shell out the 500 bucks or so to get a Wii on ebay or wait until animators start making anime with cels again and a new shipment of Wii hits the store shelves. I tried getting one at midnight but the store was only going to sell them by raffle to people who had already been waiting there for over 24 hours. Absolute bull if you ask me.
Awesome!!! That''s exactly how I imagined the Wii and I can''t wait to have a go of one!! (When can I come round?) The Mii aspect is something I''ve not heard of, but it''s sounds great, cause I love customising things! It’s good to hear you didn’t stop laughing as it just goes to show it’s done it’s job! I was hoping it would have the same effect as the Buzz, dancemats and karaoke games, as they’re all fun for the whole family to get involved with. And I’m certainly sure that the Wii will make for prime entertainment as people get tanked up for a night out or parties, so I really can’t wait. So how much did you get yours for then? They''ve yet to be released over here and are retailing for about £179.99. I really want one for Red Steel and that Wii Sports! I think you should take some videos of you guys playing it!! ^_^ Glad to hear Casino Royale was good too, on first impressions, I wasn’t generally convinced Daniel Craig would make a good Bond and have yet to see it myself (I''m just too busy!) but it''s good to hear some positive responses about the film as I know he''s had a hard time from the hardcore fans, it''s definitely a film I need to see soon though! Anyway stop playing the Wii and get some sleep!
My arm is positively aching from playing the Wii all day ;_; Thanks for the comments guys. ^_^ Iwakuralain16 - The Wii would make a great Christmas present, I''m sure there will be more units shipped before then. Get one! Sugar - You are always welcome here. ^_~ Logo - Thanks! =) Eddie - Thanks. And I agree! Playing online is awesome. hajimenokizu - It''s definitely a lot of fun. I''d recommend it to anyone! Hotice - Awww! Really? What happened? Did the store fail to receive their shipment? I was afraid that might happen to some retailers. Don''t worry, you''ll get a Wii soon enough. And of course you can borrow mine <3 Mokman - Darling, how can you say that?! :P Sorry to hear about the strange raffle, but hopefully more Wiis will ship soon and you won''t have to deal with the insanity. Ronin - Thank you dear. We paid about $250 for the system itself. Then we bought extra controllers and some games. The classic controllers were pushed back, as were some of the games that were said to be launch titles. As for the interactivity, there''s tons! It''s exactly like the dance pads and karaoke and the microphone games, but better. It''s just amazing how much your character responds to your movements. I thought it would be kind hokey, like the Eye Toy (which I also liked! LOL) but this is much better.
She replied!! :*) <3 <3 Hahah just kidding! Hope you''re having fun!
LOL you truly are the biggest dork I know. Actually, I''m just kidding...LMAO. :D I''m really happy you got the system and I''ve heard nothing but good things about it. Serves PS right for throwing out a crappy and expensive system...we are getting the Wii next month so I look forward to kicking some Zelda butt. Not to mention...Need For Speed Carbon!!!! *dies* I miss you babe! Did you get my Beta message about your gift for Christmas? Probably not...you wanted some kitchen utensil now I don''t remember, how am I supposed to get it for you when you don''t contact me!!!! Meeeeeeee!?!?!?!??! Wiiiiiiiiiiee! *sniff*
