I drove around today asking a few stores. Everyone looks at you like you're crazy when you ask them for one. What the hell? Excuse me for trying to purchase something that's been on the market for over a month.

I overheard a customer asking for a Wii at an EB Games shop, and the salesman tells her that they randomly get shipments every so many days. "It could be tomorrow, it could be later today. They just bring a few in every now and then."

ok.. how many people actually OWN the system and are praising it?.
i guess it all depends on your game preference.. all i play is sports/ racing games (madden, nba, need for speed)... if your into mario and questing games, then nintendo's always been the system for you.

I say fuck normal controllers Wii gave me something new to try. Its really fantastic, the controls make all the difference. Seriously gaming needs a new direction and Wii is going to right way. Its funny because all those games you just said all exist on the Wii.

yeah, but like you said.. the controls are different... i like the standard controllers
and wii came out with controllers that resemble the super nintendo controller for people who dont want the new controls
i just dont think the graphics are any better either.

If you look at zelda graphics on the wii...you will notice the graphics arent all that great...there nice,but not spectacular.This is because zelda was a direct port from the gamecube,so its really showing you the visuals of what the gamecube can do.Just wait a few months...you will notice more games that look nice on the system.

yeah the aiming system in metroid prime 3 is supposed to rock the socks off first person shooters. Theres a video somewere around the web, it looks SICK, like you can runn around and look around and shoot sideways and run at the same time. it looks gnarly,
ps the best buy around here has Wii' in stock as does target. If you really want one I can pick it for you pay shipping.

I'm having the same problem, I got enough gift certificates to buy a wii for christmas but none of the EBs around here have them in stock so I just keep phoning the store every day. Too bad that locator only lists auctions.

You could always buy it somewhere else and use the gift card to buy games for it, they're about that expensive anyways. You might be able to get two.

I've been online with my Wii, but not with a game, if that's what you mean. I've played around with the globe of earth that tells weather forecasts everywhere and I've been using Wii's internet browser. It's kind of hard to read web pages on my TV, but I've mostly been watching videos.

Banez, im sorry but i really dont think you fully know wat your talkin about man. the Wii is a fucking sick ass console and p4ksoul speaks the TRUTH! the controllers change is what makes the whole difference! the way you use the wii-motes and the nun-chuck is wat makes the wii so much fun. your alot more interactive with the games because your using two seperate controllers with both hands
im so glad i got the wii now tho. i got zelda with it, along with rayman-raving rabbids and CALL OF DUTY 3. that game is the fucking greatest. the graphics on that game make you feel like your really in the war, and its insanely real-like, the way you hold the controllers to shoot and move around and throw grenades and....man all kinds of shit.
the zelda game is fing sick too. when you use your sword or sling shot, you swing your controller around to do slash attacks, and jab with your controller to use a stab attack. and you point at the screen with the wiimote to aim your slingshot and more.
with wii sports its all real like. when you play TENNIS, you actually swing it to hit the tennis ball, and boxing you jab at the creen and hold your dukes up to block and dodge and you can throw uppercuts and roundhouse and fucking EVERYTHING! with bowling you underhand swing the wii mote to bowl, and golf, same thing.
for the most part you can understand by now that the wintendo wii is dope as fuck. its the new generation game console to change the way of gaming, and gaming controllers. seriously, the wii is def something to invest in so if you can obtain one you will not regret it.
mainly i only got the wii to later get he new SUPER SMASH BROS. BRAWL! because smash bros is pretty much just THE sickest VIDEO game ever, and i wanted it, but now i know the wii is great for many other games too!
yea but anyway, you guys get my point. the wii is sick, go get it, plain and simple.

wii sports is the only thing ill play on it... the gf likes the rabbit game
im sorry i just dont think its a better console than xbox, ps3, or xbox360.
how can you say i dont know what im talking about, ive owned it since the day it came out.. and have numerous games.. including zelda.
another flaw... the sensor.. its set up on the TV, (we bought the wii for my gf's little brother).. hes about 5'0'' and im almost 6'0''.. so i have to crouch to play games such as baseball, and boxing.

II have to say...Cod3 sucks and is nothing like the pc counterpart. Really disappointing it feels so arcadeish
Though zelda does kick so much ass and splinter cell is alright i cant get into it really.
Did anyone download any games yet?
Also anyone know why my wii freezes when i go to the mii, just sticks at black screen
