Yes I've had my Wii for awhile its a funny story how i got it.
"Santa"(I have a 8 year old sister who believes in him)gave me an "I.O.U" for one Wii so one day my dad stopped by Circuit City and asked if they had a Wii the guy at the counter said yeah sure ill go on back.(walks to the back and comes with a Wii) Another guy comes and says "Aren't those Wii's for the online customers. Thats what the boss said." The guy at the counter says "No its ok."

And now i might get a 360 for Christmas and then i will have a Wii60 (don't worry im getting halo 3!!!)

My parents let me get it programed and stuff and then i had to put it up until christmas and i just now found out where to find my friend code so i wish i could get it back out but i can wait a couple of weeks... at least i hope!!!

A Little Cheaper than Normal

So...yesterday I talk to a local who puts up an ebay listing for 260. He wants me to send him 280 for it by paypal and he will cancel his ebay auction. After talking back and forth, he decides to keep the ebay auction and sells for a good chunk of change. I'm thinking he would've tried to rip me off anyways if I sent him a paypal payment outside of ebay.

So on Black Friday, I sat in front of my computer armed with AZGrabber. I start to shut down my computer at 2pm and pick up my wife to go shopping when the alarm goes nuts. Needless to say, I got my Wii ordered 2 minutes later AND it was cheaper than 280.

DO NOT buy from resellers people. You only cheat yourselves and I would rather trust Amazon than a snot-nosed teenager that had his hands all over the box for weeks before you buy it. Amazon puts plenty up at a time. There were Wiis up for at least 20 more minutes after I bought mine. Plus Amazon limits the total purchased AND disables one-click ordering for this item so everyone gets a chance. Just go to azgrabber.com and get yours.

I am a Lucky Man!!!

I got my Wii at the local gamestop by sheer chance. Headed out to Best Buy at 3:30 and there was a line around the block, so I figured I would drive around and just happened on a moviestop right beside gamestop and thought both had opened early.

There were two people in line at gamestop and they had a sign saying they had six for Black Friday so I stayed and got one hehehe. I only waited 1 hour, but I have been trying to get a Wii for months WHEW! I was gonna put it up until x-mas for the kids but couldn't control myself. We played it all day long!

Paid the regular price, and didn't have to negotiate. Thank goodness I got lucky, because had I not found this I was gonna go into debt for the PS3 lol. New to Wii, new to forum. Greetings all =)

I actually got mine back in September for my birthday, they were not availiable anywhere, but my parents own a business who gives 'points' for buying lighters and stuff like that and my mom had a bunch of points and got it for me. It's always nice to have the hook ups...

All right, I got mine this morning from Toys R' Us. They had SO MANY, it was ridiculous. The line wasn't that insane either, they had twice as many Wii's as there were people in line. I think the rumor I heard that TRU was holding their Black Friday Wii's for Sunday was true.

I got mine last Christmas, but I'm gonna post here anyway =)

It was some time in November and I went into to Target. I asked the guy at the counter if they had any wii's in stock. He said no, but that they were getting some on Sunday. The funny thing is, when I left to look at the games out, I heard another guy tell him that they weren't supposed to tell anyone that. =)

So I convinced my Mom drive me to Target at 5 in the morning to get the wii. She agreed, but she said that I had to wait for Christmas to get it. I was alright with that, knowing that I would have a Wii, even if I didn't get it right away. I waited in front of Target, first on there and a few people came after me. A lady came out and asked if we were waiting to get a wii. Most of us, yes, but some wanted a tickle me Elmo. She gave us some tickets that guaranteed us a Wii. So we left, got some Coffee and came back when it opened. We were the second to get our Wii. There were only twenty wii's there, but there was many, many more people than that in line. When they handed it to me, I could've cried. It was awesome.

Christmas morning was the best Christmas evar!

That's my story, yup.

Just got it...

So, I've been wanting a Wii for awhile, either that or an X Box 360. And I finally have enough money to afford one.

So I call Wal-Mart to ask if they have a 360, and he says yes, they had one. I didnt even ask for a Wii because I figured no one would have them. Anyway, towards the end of the convo he says, "I also have a couple of Wiis if you are interested in one of those."

So I get my check book (yeah, I'm one of those check book people) and head to Wal-Mart. On the way I decided that, since Christmas is coming I may be able to get the other system I dont buy for a gift. With that in mind. I decided to buy the Wii seeing as how it is cheaper.

So far I just have the console, Wii Sports, Madden 2008, two controlers, and two nunchucks. I plan on getting the zapper and maybe something like Resident Evil : The Umbrella Chronicles, and Mario Galaxy.

Hopefully, I'll get the 360 too (thats really what I was originally looking at, all my friends are playing Halo 3 without me!). I'll definitely buy one after Christmas myself if I don't get one. Then, I'll have the Wii60 (just learned what that term meant, lol)!!!
