i drove to a few shops some quite far from my local area and none of them had any wii's and didnt know when they would get any in...so i ended up getting one from amazon at the time they had 2 left lol

I setup my tent outside of Walmart on launch and camped for nineteen hours....

Hmmmm I forget? It was all a blur you know? I think it was walmart yet it may have been best buy? No I think I got it after work at best buy no walmart! I don't remember where but I just remember paying for it and a few games and setting it up? I think I will remember my next nintendo system a little better which may be coming with in the year. It's not the Wii 2 or the Wii HD either!

I checked stores for months and months, in the end I got impatient and bought a Wii privately for $320 Canadian.

Pre ordered it months before it came out from Game station so i was the first on the waiting list for the christmas delivery. Just had to pick it up in the morning.

My friend manages a Gamestop. So it was easy for me to get a system. He gets them weekly.

Sometime near Christmas my dad went to Best Buy at around 5:00 A.M. He waited there a few hours until he figured out that he wasn't going to get a Wii from where he was in the line. So he went over to Circuit City, same thing. Finally, he wen't to Toys R Us and got it there. Then he gave it to me on Christmas '06.

a stag and doe is a party put together by the bride and groom about a month or so before the wedding to raise money for them. There's always raffle prizes, games, there's a dj and obviously a cash bar.

ahh ok thanks

Fredvdp · 03-25-2008, 04:22 PM

My brother went to the nearest store (ten minute walk), ordered it and two days later we got it. I paid my half of the Wii a while later.
