Wiis on the 6th confirmed at my walmart
So i went into wal-mart today to see if i could confirm walmarts dec 3rd/6th shipments and the employee showed me their new flyer which indeed said, "Available 12/6". He said they have 9 in stock but might receive more before that date. He said that they open at 6:00AM but won't be putting them on sale until 8:00AM. I was thinking of going at around 2:00 or 3:00AM to set up camp. What you guys think? Is that to late should i maybe go at 12:00AM? I live in Northern Maine and its a pretty small county so i'm not sure what time i'll go. Either way its gonna be worth it for the wii!!.

I'm getting mine this day too. I called earlier today and they said there was no reservations and they open at 8 A.M. I'm going to miss school this day and probably get there at like 7 A.M hopefully early enough to get a Wii.

well last night i was bored in my apartment cause the cable went out and started to play all my old gamecube games resident evil zero,re4,wave race,windwaker,day of reckoning,splinter cell,MGS twin snakes,and so on
(it shows im still without the wii) and while playing resident evil 4 i said to myself
damn those are good graphics ,wich the wii could pull that off a little farther.
then i realized that if i buy the wii i would be practically buying another game cube only with a few different things ,and i ponder if shelling 250 plus bucks would be worthwhile and if i should keep the money and buy myself an xbox 360...........man......
anyways today i called a friend of mine and asked him if the wiis where on stock(he works at walmart)....the bastards says: dude i didnt tell u sorry man
walmart had wiis 2 weeks ago they brought 150 units,and until last saturday they were only 15 left.
im like....shuuuut up!!!!
he said he was going to check if there were any left and he would buy it for me so they can give him the employee discount and call him after 6 so i can give him the money and he hands me a wii console........
is the wii worthwhile can anyone that owns the wii tell me if the console is any good at all????....anyway thanks

Yeah, I got an advertisement in the mail that said they would be in the 6th. It also said in small print "Minimum 3 per store". That would suck if there were really only 3 in some stores.

If OC, NY is "Orange County", then you'll probably need to get there a little earlier than 7am. If possible get there no later than 6am. Even though the weather will be pretty raw it will be worth braving the weather to get a Wii.
