So, the Wii is out on Nov. 19, and for only $250. Better go place your pre-orders now, as this will be a hot item.

Can't farking wait!

I. Cant. Wait.

I am seriously getting more and more excited about the Wii the closer it gets. Should be a good time!

 

[BlindMonk]

My only concern will be us playin' around the tv and smashing our controllers together as we wildly swipe at virtual tennis balls.

 

[Rob Williams]

Yeah... my worry is tired arms after playing with it for an hour...

 

[madstork91]

my worry is still breaking the dang thing after an hour of play... there is a big differance in inertia between me and wee wittle chinesse dude.

 

[madstork91]

Hase anyone besides me looked at the pricing for them on the Wii calculator?

Pre game im looking to spend 500 on a Wii + controllers.

Edit: 357- ~480ish.

357 for one retro controller and one wii mote etc. no game

480 ish 2 of each no game.

 

[Rob Williams]

$536CAN for an extra Wii-mote and classic controller, and also Zelda and Tony Hawk.

Damn good deal. I paid near $1,100 on the 360 launch day, and the only difference was an extra game.

 

[leecho7]

That is a mighty fine deal Rob. I already have Zelda on reserve, waiting for Ebgames/Gamestop to start accepting reserves for the console. Can't wait MOFOS!

 

[Rob Williams]

Bah, they are not accepting yet? I was going to go there today and do just that. Oh well, at least the games are a start.

NOBODY TAKE MY TONY HAWK.

 

[leecho7]

All the employees at a local EBgames that I frequent (it's like a 50 second walk from work) pretty much know me, and everything about me now. I've been in there everyday the past week and bugged them when they're taking reserves.
They keep telling me they might be takin reserves early October, but I'm not taking my chances... Cause I'm a psycho like that...

Yeah... went in today and they were not even taking pre-orders on the games. He told me he was supposed to go to a conference call today, so maybe that had something to do with it.

Canadian EB's work differently than the USA ones though.

Wii browser free for now: http://www.gamespot.com/news/6158705.html

Well I didn't expect it to be free forever, that would be too good to be true. I'm still getting me one! XD

 

[Rob Williams]

Last time I checked, my PC could use the internet

I would -never- use it on a console unless I had a specific reason to. But even still, does the Wii even have a wiiboard in order to type with? If not, a browser would be wiitarded.

Brilliant!

I remember browsing the net with my Dreamcast...it was shitty but it was the internet.

Me also. I used to log on to a certain website and literally download saved game files. It was freakin' awesome.

 

[Greg King]

Oh the times! If the Dreamcast broadband adapter was both readily available and remotely reasonable in price I would have adopted it. Damn you Sega and your untimely demise! Damn you!

 

[madstork91]

My ****ing sister sold my Dreamcast for money... I still think about strangling her.

 

[Greg King]

I am surprised she is still breathing.

 

[Rob Williams]

How much money could she possibly get for a DC? That's not justified
