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

[MattD]

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.

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.

The highest price I've seen a ps3 go for was 15,100. Here is the link

I got my Wii, but I need more games because all I have is Wii Sports

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!

Lol, hilarious. I love YTMND.

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.
