Re: PS3 + WII... who was waiting or will wait???
 

It only took two hours to get my Wii. I knew that the Target store in my city had 60 systems and would open up at 8:00 am, so I decided to check it out at around 7 pm on Saturday night and not one person was in line. I was planning on showing up at around 5 am but I overslept didn't get there at 7 am. I was 57th in line out of 60 people, so I really lucked out. Around 7:45 am the manager came out and handed out tickets, and we were allowed in the store at 8:00 am. The line went very smoothly, and by 9:00 I left with a Wii.

...I am lozer. Didn't get enough babysitting jobs, so I cannot afford the Wii as of right now. *cries* I really wanted one! But I was only able to save up about $170...*sniffles* Oh well, I guess I'll just get one...later. Hopefully.

PS3? As of right now, I'm not all that interested in it. Too much bloody money for a system, in my opinion. I mean sure, BEAUTIFUL graphics, but I don't want to spend that much money. I'm more for games I can have fun with, then more cinematic games where I watch scenes more than I play.

I'll wait...I dunno...maybe 2 or 3 years to geat a PS3. Why rush? The only thing I play on the Playstation is Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts...*shrugs* I'll just be a little behind, thats all. I don't mind waiting.

But I'd really like a Wii! Although, I don't mind waiting that long for this one either. I still have my cube I can play with...How I love my Gamecube! *snuggles with it*

As for Xbox/360...bleh. I'm not an Xbox-fan. *waves anti-Xbox sign* ;)

Well. Thats all I'm really doing as of right now! =D I'm quite content with the way things are.

Well, it's time to tell me story then XD

I'll make this short...

I waited 14 hours at Target...
With some friends...
At 30-something degrees...
And it was snowing...

I thought the wait was worth it, especially when I found out that there were about...oh...a little over 60 people in line when I woke up from a 2-hour nap...

(and the store only had 60 units)

But it was a fun experience...

(And to know that it was my first time waiting in line made the experience even better)

I ordered my Wii on Amazon, but since the USB/Ethernet adaptor won't come out until 2007 I'm going to get a third-party adaptor that doesn't require drivers. That way I can go online, because I don't have Wi-Fi and the USB dongle thingy refused to work on my PC. I'm especially excited about the Virtual Console having TurboGrafx on it, including Super Star Soldier, which is awesome. :)

I've played the Wii... It is awesome! I want to get one, but i'll probably just wait until stores actually have them in stock with no waiting lists.

Re: PS3 + WII... who was waiting or will wait???
 

oh man! my neighbor has the wii and I cant wait for mario party to come out!

Re: PS3 + WII... who was waiting or will wait???
 

I've already seen them in stock at various stores, it is just a little sporadic about who is sold out at any given time.

Off topic-ish/slightly random, but I found this funny thing were people "translated" a Japanese Wii instruction thingy.

I thought it was pretty funny!

The free trial of the Wii Opera browser (which came out today) is really nifty. It's very easy to use/navigate, and the pages load pretty quickly. In fact, I'm using it right now to reply to this.
The length of the download, for me, took between 1 and 2 minutes. I can't wait to see what added features the final version (predicted to come out in March 2007) contains.

waited from 10 p.m. to 8 a.m. on launch to get mine, and i couldnt have been happier. Heck i even had a fever of like 100 F when i waited, the cold did not help.
