    i'll be getting a wii. i missed out on pre-orders and i have no ambitions of waiting in line. so i might be waiting awhile to get one.

    i'll wait until the ps3 drops in price i think. $600 is a lotta hooch.

    The Wii should be an easy find...They are going to MASS produce this sytem...I'm sure u can get one before christmas. However the games and accessories will be limited...It is good to pre-order the accessories and games before the Wii comes out.

    before xmas = yes
    on launch day = probably not me

    i believe it was 4-6 million units worldwide by the years end, so i'm not too worried about getting one. the virtual console thing is appealing. nes ice hockey anyone?

    My roommate and I are going to get one launch day. It's going to be awesome for after bar activities. However, idk.... first player it might look a little weird when you are swinging your arms around and no one else is there.:hsugh:

    ^ lol.

    I think there should be no problem finding onebfore x-mas. the last number i saw was 4 million by the end of the year. i am not sure what the initial release will be.

    it looks like the wii will have better release games then the ps3. and ZELDA!

    I'll buy one just so I can woop some ass in Bond Golden Eye again(hopefully). Funnest FPS ever amongst freinds. The Nintendo is definately the superior console when gaming among freinds pre and post bar. PS and Xbox can't even compaire to the multi-player ability of Nintendo games.

    Oakdale Target had 72. I was 71st inline and got there 10 minutes before opening. Right after I got there about 20 more people showed up. It's pretty fun and real easy to get used to (only played Wii Sports so far).
