Still on the Search for Wii?

Cap'n Crunch · 12-19-2006, 12:19 AM

my mom is going to eb games this friday when they open to see if she can snatch one, and i called k-mart a couple days ago and they said they would have some kind of drawing before x-mas.

It's pretty simple, just go to any place that sells Wii's and ask how long the line is of pre-orders. Sometimes the lists are crazy long and you might not want to do it, but it's worth a shot.

This has been consuming me since I failed to get one Sunday morning after learning that pretty much everyone who camped out at BB, CC and GS was able to get one...

Very nice.. it's gonna be tough though. Each Toys R Us is probably getting no more than 30 or 40, probably lucky if they even get 15!

Thats just a guess. Better go EARLY, to guarantee you a Wii i'd say you'll have to be at the store at 10 or 11 PM the night before.

but they say there not taking preorders

yea, i want to camp out but my parents dont want me to. even though they are the ones complaining about how hard it is to find one. I am 17, it is ridiculous. I pretty strong too, i play hockey so it is not like I would get beat up or anything. I want to camp out so bad because yesterday I went out at 6 am and everyplace was packed with 60 people it was crazy.

well if anybody in the dallas/plano area wants to go to the toys r us off of north central expressway let me know.

psyichic · 12-19-2006, 01:27 AM

Hello I am new here.

Anyways I was wondering if anybody has already camped or atleast arrived early to the lines here in Boston on the 17th. I attempted to pop by at about 7:20 but of course I underestimated the campers and was about the 80th in line with only 21 Wii's at the store. I just wanted to know if anyone here has seen the lines in the EARLY mornings at what point do they begin to really grow?

In any case I was hoping to avoid a camp out since my parents probably would be slightly iffy about that. I know that people suggest before 1AM but I wasna't sure if anyone had any info on the bostonian lines.

i was wondering if any of u guys know if people camp at san fran? going there friday hope ican find one doubt it tho even tho its cold up there.

Akir · 12-19-2006, 03:01 AM

I'm 17 (18 in Jan) and I waited at BB with my 16 year old friend. So if you're not of age or don't feel comfortable, I'd say, just bring a friend.

We also got there at 1 AM and there was a group of 5 adults that was there since 10 PM, and we were both 6 and 7 after them. Then between 1-3 6 more showed up, and between 3-8 probably 50 people showed up. :o
