finally got on itrackr, says Target near me had the Wi 3 hours ago, call them and they are all sold out.

I give up, I am going to spend $250 on a stripper tonight and let her play with my wi-mote.

It looks like she was using nowinstock.net. I think the tip either came from the front page or possibly the forums. She got lucky with the Holiday bundle that was last available on 12/21.

Wal-Mart shipped the games separate from the console and each item had its own barcode so I had no trouble returning. For some reason, 5 games came in one package and one came separate. When they scanned the separate game the clerk asked my wife if it came in a bundle with other games and my wife said yes. They still took it back without any other questions.

Sweet video. So, who won the fight? Looks like it went to a decision.

My brother (the guy in black) took the decision.

Awesome! My nephew (9) knocked me out cold in the first round, in his first game. He was punching me non-stop, I couldn't even do ANYTHING.... LOL, I wanted to call him button-smasher but that seems somehow inappropriate!

I just received my Nintendo component cables and I think there is a significant difference between them and the cheaper brand (Cyclone). I'm returning the cheaper ones tomorrow.

I was at EB yesterday and the clerk told me that they get some Wii's once a week...but people basically stalk the delivery truck and they sell out within 15 minutes.

I got a Wii !!! I got a Wii!!!!

First thing Nintendo Ive ever owned.

Stumbled upon it at eb games today. My 4 1/2 yo and I bowled for a solid hour today and had a blast. Then we went and played in the snow. Good fun!

A good friend of mine and his wife are bringing their Wii over to our place this weekend. My wife, who hates videogames, said she wouldn't mind playing tennis on it. Now that's crazy. Nintendo must have done something right to get someone who hates games to now be interested in playing a Wii.

The way this winter is going, I think I have a better chance of finding a Wii than finding snow

Rented Need for Speed Carbon last night, mainly because not much else was instock at my Blockbuster. Wow, I'm really surprised by how much I'm enjoying this game. I couldn't stand the 360 demo, but 'steering' with the Wii remote is very fun, especially when you get a well-timed, well-executed drift in an old Camaro SS!

If they ever get the online situation figured out, there could be some insanely fun arcade racing games on the Wii.

Just remembered this game is only $40 this week at Best Buy...and I have some Reward Zone certificates to use. Hmm, might grab this one before the Colts game today.

Most of you have probably heard already, but a 28 year old woman was found dead of suspected water intoxication after particpating in a radio station's "Hold Your Wee for a Wii" contest.
