Default I now have the Wii!

What a crazy way to start off yesterday. I pull up in front of Gamestop at 9:30AM, they said they don't have any Wiis, but to check back around 11PM when they get their shipment. I said no problem and went to the other stores, and of course they don't know their a$$ from their elbow so they automatically say no. I head back to Gamestop JUST as the shipment comes, no one there knows about what's in it, there's no line for them. The employee opens the box, bang, 3 Wiis inside. I scored one. So far it hasn't given me any trouble besides locking up once on Boxing (Wii Sports). Right now it's sitting vertical on top of the 360 and it looks awesome. The ultimate gaming setup.

USE THIS SITE: itrackr.com

Make a free account and it will track PS3s/Wiis for you in your area, it's how I scored this one. Best of luck.

is it worth the price? I do have to admit I am a little curious about playing one.

As far as them being dangerous, it's really not true. You don't have to use alot of force to make the motion sensor read. My strap is fine, I've had it for 2 days now, no trouble. It cost me 270 in total and I thought it was worth it. Cool online features (Although you can't play online with anything YET, that will come soon.) like the Mii community, nice graphics (Not GOW quality but still decent) and complete backwards compatibility add up to make a great console. Wii60 FTW!

I'm looking forward to buying one very soon. My son is a big nintendo fan, so it is a must buy in my house. He jumped the gun and bought Twilight Princess for Gamecube, the boy has no patience.
At the very least, it will be a change of pace.

In the UK:

Wii - $300
Xbox 360 Premium - $500
PS3 60Gb - $800

Anyway...

You said you had your Wii sitting on TOP of your 360?! That's probably not the best idea with the emf fields and heat that each will omit.

Have fun.

Well they aren't on at the same time. If freezing occurs I'll move the Wii away but it's been perfect so far.

Edit: The Wii doesn't get very hot at all. I don't see a problem with putting it on top of the 360.
Edit (2): Ok, now it's beside the 360, looks better.

Yes yes I'm good. I need to pick up some more Wii games though, right now I have the Sports package and DBZ. I might go get Red Steel or Zelda soon..

I thought the Wii sucked. Especially it's name...
Why not call it the Revolution? It's so awesome!

red steel did suck...at first. but now that i have put some time into it its really a decent FPS plays better than CoD3 for Wii IMO.

Use Itrackr.com man, it helps alot for PS3s/Wiis. Youll get one for sure. The gamestops by me all have PS3s for sale, no one is buying, people want Wiis.
