It's a pain to find anything Nintendo in H'ville. DS Lites, Wiis (of course) Wiimote grips, Wiimotes, nunchucks, classic controllers are sometimes hard to come across, and even the point cards ><.

i got very luck this week.

I was taken into hospital for an operation, and have had the week off from work. I know about the supply issues with Wii and I contacted all my game stores out of curiosity one morning before going to see my dr. Everywhere was out of stock and hadn't had a delivery all week

i walked into argos for a browse after seeing my dr and decided to do a random check and lo and behold! THREE WII in stock! wooo!!!

I got a Wii Arn't I a lucky boy

I got my Wii for Christmas, but only recently have I bought a points card and some extra controllers. Then i beat myself for not playing multi-player sooner. THE WII TRULY IS A FAMILY SYSTEM!

You can find classic controllers pretty much anywhere here in the cities, and have come across random chances to buy wiimotes and nunchucks.

Today was my day. I went into my closest GameStop and bought a couple of games for my PS2 (God Hand was the quest item) about 3 days ago. The clerk told me that they were getting Wii consoles in on Thursday (today.) So I set times in my Treo, and didn't tell a soul about it. I made it with time to burn. Then the manager told me that the person who told me that didn't know what he was talking about. One can imagine my disappointment.

So I sulked all day. But my best friend text me and told me to search the town for one. There had to be one for sale in Colorado. So the mission was on, I was on a mission. After driving a total of 30 miles today I found a store with 4 in stock. I jumped for joy and did a little dance. It was fantastic.

So now I have my Wii and I might call into work tomorrow. hahaha.

Well I ordered mine yesterday from Amazon, and I have just checked the postage Tracking and it was sent out this morning. I know there is going to be no one at home from 9:30 till 11, so it's sods law that it will turn up somewhere between those times!

I won't get to play it today, I don't finish work till 5 and I'm off to the pub but I am sure I will spend my saturday giving it a good test run
