Official 'I got a Wii' thread

[largedarry]

I got mine in 2 weeks by ordering in an online package from Cosco in Canada. Game with an extra Wiimote and nanchuck for $40.

got the last one from target last week. wii sports is fun for multiplayer and the vc is great.

I bought one as a Christmas present for my wife (though I'm looking forward to some multi-player games with her). She has wanted one for a while, since playing Wii Sports at a friend's house.

Recently I had been trying to gauge whether she was still interested in a Wii. And with Christmas approaching, I knew they'd be getting scarcer. Seeing that she was interested, and that they are scarce, I played up that I might not be able to find one for Christmas.

Well, now I have one, but she doesn't know it. Good, I want it to be a surprise. But now she's asking her co-workers for advice on finding a Wii. Oh-oh, what if she goes out and buys one?

I guess the worst that would happen is either the surprise is ruined or we have an extra one that has to get returned (or resold) after Christmas.

Got mine about 2 weeks ago. Now running through Zelda!

Not painful at all. Was sitting in line on black friday and the manager came out and just started handing tickets out for buying one. It landed in my lap, how could I say no? lol

We got ours 2 weeks ago, was checking stock in places for a few weeks, was jammy enough to log on and check argos when they had some. apparently they only got 9 and they were gone in minutes

Finally found something to spend our wedding vouchers on, 15 months after the wedding lol

[Finallii]

I just picked mine up yesterday. Waited in line at 5am outside Best Buy, but it was SO worth it!

ello wii chat! (im new) =)

Anyway, I got my Wii on Dec 2nd.

I did not think i was going to have a wii at all until my mom said she would by it for me IF i could find one. On Dec 1st my relitive (who works at Best Buy) told me they were going to have 16+ in the morning. I woke up at 6am to start out for the store I took my firend with so he could grab one for my mom's friend who wanted to buy one for her kids. Anywho we got there at 6:30 an waited behind around 14-18 people (I was a bit scared). At 8 o'clock; A store worker came out and said "We have 18 Wiis today thats it! so number 18, wave at person 19 so that 19 and up will go home" (cranky?). after he went back inside a man (from the line) counted the 18 lucky people. My friend was 17 and I was 18! .

At 7:30 they handed out vouchers and candy; telling us to come back at 9:30 to pic up the Wiis.

I got Wii play (at first only for the wiimote, but soon fell in love with the games), and Soul Calibur.

I must say i have been a huge die-hard fun of the X-Box 360 (played my friends when he was out-of-town), but after playing Wii Sports, Wii Play and SC. Im drifting to the wii side.

P.S. for SC:l winning a 6/10 I would personaly give it an 8

I've had mine since March of this year. Got it at USA Discounters, sort of like a Rent-a-Center, ending up paying $600 for it, but I didn't have to wait in any 14 hour lines, camp through the night, or scavenge the earth for mine.

[blueovalboy7]

Dang, $600, did you at least get some games or controllers with it?

[chris20023]

My wii is coming tomorrow, i did however pay £250 but im sure it will be worth it!!!!!!!!

[kevingoz]

Just got mine!!! Only waited 1 hour for it at Gamestop.

[WiiMaster5]

When i got my wii i was so excited! i wouldn't stop playing. the thing that bugs me about the wii though is those stupid error codes like: 050045 and craplike that! LOL

[MarkWii]

The Wii really interest me becuase it gets people who've never played a gamming system to get involved and get gaming. So do you think that your dad will continue to play when you're not around?
