Figured we could start this a bit early, since SOME of us are camping out right now...

I don't even HAVE to be camping out right now. There's 20 people in line, Wii're first, therefore I don't want to leave... I had a chance at a PS3, earlier, too...

God this system is going to kick some huge ass.

Discuss.

How did you get the money Jake? I thought you still needed some?

I am either going to Walmart at like 4PM, Circuit City at like 8PM, or Toys 'R US at some other time. I am thinking about buying two, selling one for $100-$200 profit and keeping the other. :D

I was planning to camp out for the Wii, but I'm going to wait and see how the game is actually good or not. Probably will get it over the summer.

I had my fingers camp out on my keyboard while at the ebgames.com site.

Then my credit card did the rest of the work. *roffles*

i got screwed the walmart i went to only had 29. which seems odd that they dont have an even umber of consoles. i think its bs and they had more stashed. and the target i went to at 6am today had 70 and i was 75 :-/
Right before it opened you should have said that you had to go to the bathroom and run to the front of the line ;) Lol.

I got one, and my brother got one :)

We were planning on waking up at 5am and go to Target, they had 33 Wiis, and opened at 8am. But we slept in and got up at 6:45, got to Target at 7:00am. There were only 18 people in line, but they all had Wii tickets, and the Taarget lady came out and gave us #28 and #29, then my friend showed up minutes later and got #33. We went to Mcdonalds to get some breakfast then came back at 8am. We didn't even have to wait 5 minutes. AWESOME :D

I've heard from others it's the best FPS they've ever played.

I'll make a thread for it.

Story:

Got ready at Noon, left and got to Walmart at 1:00PM. I talked to the manager about everything and confirmed there were 60 systems and I was 30th in line. I then went out and played my DSL, PSP, listened to my iPod some, and taked with people near me. Then at like 7PM Walmart was counting all the people cause there were more people than systems. Throughout counting they found out 2 people cut in line in the 20-25 area so I became 32 in line. The person that was 59 and 60 got super pissed and went into the store and left like three hours later. We all then got tickets at 10PM, and at Midnight we all went to buy the systems. Suprisingly they sold us the systems at the customer service counter and the games and accesories at the electronics department on the other side of the store. I got home at like 1AM cause the line took like 20 minutes. Took a pic, and went to bed and fell asleep instantly. Just sitting in line for 11 hours made me super tired.
