They are sold out around my area as well. And walmart.com is out too.
Thanks for the banner, silverdrop!

There aren't too many good games out yet anyway IMO, the only one being TP, which you can get for GC(assuming you have GC). A lot of good games don't come out until next year.

Very true. A lot of people are saying that TP GC is superior to TP Wii.

Assuming I can actually get TP for GC. <_< It seems that the GC version was more popular than I'd figured on... and released far too close for Christmas. I'm not sure if I can even get one for Christmas!

I can scientifically prove that boredom can kill you. However, by the time I figure out how to prove it, I'd have already died of boredom.

Very true. A lot of people are saying that TP GC is superior to TP Wii.

I think that's just because everyone's afraid of the Wii's new controller, that's the only real difference between the games, the Wii functions. I hjonestly don't see what the fuss is all about though, I mean, I, and apparently many others were at first turned off by the DS. Seriously, two screens? Voice recognition? A touch screen? WTF? But just look at it now, it makes a killing in sales in Japan; I think Wii will be the same way.

A lot of people probably want to stick to the traditional controller, but you know what? With the Wii's remote, I think the chances of people developing carpel tunnel syndrome are a lot less, it's far more accomodating than any traditional controller, allowing for freedom and comfort. Getting more invlolved in the game is also something I think everyone will enjoy, I thought the idea was terrible at first, but I played Wii sports and I realized that the game was pretty fun, simple, but fun. TP I can now no longer imagine without using the Wii remote's motion sensor capabilties, I think it's just a matter of time before everyone remembers that Nintendo is incapable of making failures.

Yeah, it's disappointing to see how many people think lowly of the Wiimote. I admit that I was a bit skeptical at first, but all of my doubts vanished after I saw the first trailer showing the Wiimote in action, and I'd honestly get the Wii version of TP if I had a Wii, but I'm still waiting for a price drop. Or a Christmas present, but that seems unlikely with the Wii being sold out and all.

In other news, I'd say this pretty much seals the PS3's defeat. They were made in such low quantity that they are far from getting the full benefit of Christmas sales like the Wii is. And IIRC, isn't Sony actually losing money by selling the PS3 at $600? Yep, the PS3 doesn't a chance, not unless Sony decides to ditch the blu-ray idea so they can lower the price, and even then they really just can't compete with the Wii.

One of the reasons people are complaining about the Wii is because it gets them active. My cousin was going to get a Wii, and I should say he is lazy and will rarely get off his chair, but when he heard that the Wii was going to get him active, he said:

"Hell no."

I have become so adapted to using the Wii that when I turned on My GC and played Ocarina of Time, I started to swing the GC controller around. I didn't realize this untill my sister came in and asked me what I was doind. I LMAO at what I did.

I'm getting Red Steel soon, and I can't wait untill Super smash Bros Brawl.

I'm gonna wait until all the fuss has died down. Besides, my mom couldn't get one for Christmas (sold out) so she's going to get one for my birthday.

One thing I found that pissed me off though; 12,000 Wiis (approx) went up on ebay for vastly inflated prices on the launch day. That ****ing pisses me off. If you buy it, you can do what you like but you're cheating someone, and that's not fair on everyone.

Red Steel looks pretty cool.

I'll admit that I'm buying a PS3 eventually but the Wii is my top priority.

I got mine at EB games, YOU HAVE TO CAMP OUT OVER NIGHT PEOPLE! This isn't the good old days any more, people are obseesive about getting their games, you either get there early, or wait a ridiculous amount of time. I'm just glad they limit the units to one per household, because otherwise, there'd be a lot of annoying EBayers ruining everything.
