Official Wii Thread Part 4.
We are almost at a month to launch. Hopefully the time will pass quickly. I can't wait until I can bring a Wii to the house.

I've asked for the 17th and 20th of November off. Gonna be a playing-Wii-selling-PS3 weekend for me - I can't wait!

I thought about that but November (and in particular that week) are so slow where I work that it'd be a waste of vacation time when I'll probably just be here enjoying web surfing or something. I do, however, have next Friday off as I'm taking a friend to the Fusion thing to get a chance to play Wii early.
Damn, Tales of the Abyss comes out this week. I'll probably have to hardcore that game (play a couple hours each night) if I want to beat it before the November rush pours in. Unless it turns out better than what I'm expecting it to be, I've got a lot of stuff coming that I'd probably put over it.

I'm taking the week after Thanksgiving off. Nice long vacation starting with Thanksgiving.

I think I'm just going to go to a few stores on launch day and see if I can pick one up. I'm not going to camp out and I don't want to pre-order in case I am part of a second or third shipment.

Preorders should start soon at GS/EB. Friday is the current rumor going around the net.
FYE has been taking preorders for a while.
But yes, it should be pretty easy to find at or near launch with 4 million (and it sounds like probably more than that) in north american by x-mas.

Just got back from a Gamestop about 25 miles from where I live. All the stores in Louisville sold out at 10. This one had no one in line, I got the last one #8(core) at noon. Anyway, I thought the following was worth mentioning to the Wii crowd.
The phone was ringing off the hook. He took probably 3 calls while I was at the counter. Same question every time. "Any PS3 pre-orders left?" Told every one of them he was selling the last one as they were on the line.
What I found very interesting, was in all three calls he inquired about their interest in the Wii, not pushing a pre-order, but more of a "have you heard about the Wii" type thing. Hoping for a future sale, I assume. Two of their callers had no idea about the Wii and he directed them to Gamestop's Wii web page. Still unlikely they will settle for a Wii over PS3, but definitely very interesting.

i've been on the edge... juggling around with the idea of getting a new console for a while now (havent since my PS2). And i gotta say, im completely sold on this system.
I will definitely be pre-ordering. WarioWare & Red Steel will probably be my first pick ups.
Should be a fun Thanksgiving.
