I’m letting the Wii stew for a little bit as well. After what Nintendo did with the Gamcube, I’d like to see a much larger collection of games before I fork over my money. Besides, I’m still happy with my original Xbox which *maybe* gets an hour a week of play.

The Wii, PS3, etc. look really cool but I still love my Odyssey 2!

I did the old wait outside on a cold Sunday morning in the Circuit City parking lot to get my Wii. While all the other suckers were down the street at Best Buy, there were only a few of us at CC.

I just kept checking WalMart.com until they had some availability. I got the bundle, but it was easy to fine 3 games I wanted from the long list they have. My hubby’s gonna love his Father’s Day gift (I had to spring for premium shipping to get it in time). With two pre-school kids, the brick and mortar route is a major hassle and keeping it secret would have been impossible.

My prediction: In a few months, Wiis will be everywhere and there’ll be no need to wait on lines or call ahead. I’d like to see more games for the system… the shelves are tiny compared to the other consoles. I bought the Wii for my GF in April, it’s a fun machine. Before playing it, I thought it would be something only kids will like, but I’ve reconsidered…

As far as capitalism… I don’t think Jim’s against it. People for whom capitalism has worked think it’s great, and people on the other end of the stick think it’s not so great. Just with any other economic philosophy. Eh.

To FreedomIsReal:

It’s funny how Americans say capitalism is good… except when done by other countries. When Japan or China starts producing better goods at a cheaper price everyone starts screaming tariffs, limits, and trade imbalance.

How am i acting like a kid who is mad at his dad? I don’t think that capitalism is bad, where do you get all that? just because i won’t buy a wii to sell on ebay and make a hundred bucks doesn’t mean i think capitalism is bad, you can put your intro to psych book away now.

Jim,

It’s time to grow up and quit acting like a high school kid who is mad at his dad. Capitalism isn’t bad… it is what gave the United States the great quality of life that it has had. There wouldn’t be a Nintendo Wii without a market for them… and that market wouldn’t exist without capitalism.

I used nowinstock.net to get mine online at sears.com. It gave a few false alarms along the way, but it was alot easier than making phone calls everyday.

We just got a Wii too, but we got extremely lucky and found one on our first try over Mem. Day weekend! We were in Toledo, OH, walked right in the Target, and there were two left! We bought one and there was a little girl right behind us who nabbed the other…

Now, if only I could stop playing Zelda…
