Where can I get a Wii for $250?

It's impossible isn't it?
I don't want the $500 game pack thing. Just the console.

Anyone know? Help me!

I have searched the entire city of Tampa for one and can't find it anywhere.


That shit was the hottest system out this year. Even more successful than I thought it would be. Folks are like crazy for that thing.

I totally agree with a review I read on it.


PS3 and Xbox 360 are basically throwing a new coat of paint on the same house.

The Wii is something different.


I think people are just showing that there is a limit to what they're willing to spend money on for entertainment. I mean, at the Wii display kiosk in the mall, even elderly folks are lining up to watch it. lol

You know, good on Nintendo!!!

I do think that they are going to have to come up with a Next Gen player after this one relatively quick though.



PS3 is supposed last 10 years, I'm assuming Microsoft will have a replacement for the 360 in less than that.


And though the Wii is a breath of fresh air, eventually folks will want it to look nicer. For the next 2 or 3 years, it'll be up to the game designers to make the games look as cool and play as well as they can within the system's limitations--but you can only take that so far.


I, however, place the Wii at the top of my wants for game systems, with the PS3 a distant second,and no interest in the 360.

We finally got ours!! I walked in and the guy remembered me and he gave me the whatsupigotitforyou sign! and bam swiped my card for $267.49!!
We got it from Babbage's! Which is part of GameStop!

Check these sites out:
FIND WII
also
Yahoo Wii

Only thing I did was being at the right place at the right time! Get to know one of the sales people! They usually like people that are nice to them!!! But some of the sales people are butts and save the games only for their friends!! LOL

Peace & Love

GOOD LUCK!!!

I've already forewarned my boys that they may not be getting a Wii for Christmas. There was no way I was camping out for one. I've missed every preorder opportunity everywhere. I've entered like every Wii contest I've come across tyring to win one.

Anyway, I figure that I can probably get one in January after the holidy rush has slowed down, and most fanatics already have one.

That video was cracking me up!

I kinda want this Wii...I am 36 and WAY past the whole video game thing (I still have my Intellivision hooked up). I tried playing PS2 with my nephew and those controllers are way too confusing (although that Tiger Woods game was cool as all hell). The WHOLE thing about this is anyone can play...not just gamer-geeks.

Yep its very easy to pick up n play, nowhere near as confusing as a PS2 to a non-gamer.

What really gets me, apart from the fun new controller and stuff, is the fact that i can go and get games from:

NES
SNES
N64
Sega Genesis
Turbo Grafx 16
and soon Commodore 64

for my old-school fix!!
