Ya that Ninetendo Wii looks like far too much exercise and moving around when you want to just veg with a video game.
good luck on that one.... wait till next year prices on the consol wont drop but better games and more units will be available
Believe it or not, check your local Best By, Circuit City, EBGames/Gamestop. My Brother in law just got a Wii and PS3 at Best Buy. They are trickling in. Forget it if you are looking for a deal though. I have the c.com # in my phone. If I am out and about tomorrow and I see one, I'll give you a call and we could work something out.
Ahhhh EB Games by my house is getting more tomorrow. I will be there bright and early. It isnt even for me, it is for my brother in law. I am still an xbox man through and through.
It is absolutely nuts what goes on with these type items. I was in Wal Mart tonight and they have 34 Nintendo Wii's that will go on sale tomorrow at 8am -- there was already a line at 8pm tonite!!
I was there looking for Disney Mickey's Playhouse animated figurines! Wal-Mart pricing $7.97 for a two pack. You cannot find them for love or money!! Profiteering SCUMBAGS buy them all up, and sell them on E-Bay for $15-$20!!!!!!!!!
Last X-Mas, a guy here in our local Wal-Mart ended up buying a new car for himself by snapping up X-Box 360's before they hit the shelf (he works in electronics) and selling them on E-Bay for BIG $$$$

I hope someone at the IRS knows about that guy with the car. I bet he did not report that income.
I went to walmart the night that the PS3 was coming out. It was the night of the WVU vs Pitt game so I figured everyone would still be home and drunk, so I waited till the game ended and shot up to the store. I walked in and there was no one to be seen waiting. I was stoked to be one of the first there. I found, and do mean found, one of the walmart workers and asked what the deal with the PS3 was going to be that night, where to wait etc...he directed me to a back room they had setup for people waiting. There had to be 200 people in this room, and the store had the game on TV for everyone. Then the guy mentioned that they were only getting 12 of the console. I couldn't believe how many people were still waiting, knowing they wouldn't get one. I'm waiting till the spring.
I was at the local wally world here, returning some bad products we had purchased earlier in the day. Bad food can you believe it, from the biggest retail store in the world.
Any way I got in line behind an elderly lady, and she was returning a ps3 she bought for her grandson. Grandma told the service lady she really couldn't afford one and was relieved when her son told her he had bought one for the kid. She gets her money back and leaves.
Now I was all amped up to tell these folks a thing or two about selling bad products. But all I could think is I am next in line I am about to purchase a ps3 that was going for $25,000 on ebay last week.
So I put my issue's aside for a brief moment. Tell the lady I will take the ps3. She tells me it has to be rotated back into stock. I then ask her what that means. She says a manager has to sign off big ticket item's before they are returned. Well I wait for a manager about 15 minutes, holding up the line, because I won't step aside untill I get my ps3. Now I have wrote the check, have the ps3 in my grundgy little mits.
Then I hold the line up about 10 more minutes ranting about how this is not the first time we have bought bad food from there. And I will no longer just throw it away I don't care if it cost only a dollar.
So the manager who overheard my ranting comes over and tells me if I would be happy with a 25.00 gift card free of charge for my troubles. I reply back that a 50.00 gift card wouldnt make me happy.
He produces a card and scans it in for 100.00. Now that made me happy. I bought a ps3 for 500.00 bucks.
My 25 year old son will be a happy young man Christmas morning. He has 3 kids of his own and can't afford things for himself anymore,hardy har har,har har. I told him those kids cost alot of cheddar.
So that is my 2006 Christmas story.

Wow, you just dont hear about stuff like that. That is like being behind someone at the cigar shop that is returning a sealed box of OpusX for below MSRP.
That's awesome. I could open up a whole can of worms about how great this is that it happened at walmart, but I'll leave it with a :thumbsup:
