yeah, they were VERY limited (averaged about 8 per store). Most places were sold out within ten minutes of opening...

I know High Voltage got the last one in his area.

Canada's pre-order is Monday, and EB canada SUCKS.

We called like, 4 places and none of them really know whats happening. Like, the first place:
"Yeah, we heard its monday...I dont really know how its going to work..probably first come first serve...or something...I dunno"

And one of the places, the woman working there tried to argue with us that the pre-order wasnt monday. We were on the ebgames canada website, and told her "look, it says "Wii preorder for canada is monday"" and she was like "THATS THE U.S. SITE, WE'RE DIFFERENT!" so we just hung up.

Canadians either have to trade in $50 worth of stuff (a gamecube itself is only worth $30) OR put $200 down....

I'm debating if its even worth it.

I think that Manderin Oranges are much much better than Granny Smith Apples.

the way the ebgames ones work is online gets first dibs then, they try to get the rest equally to the separate stores or atleast thats the way the psp worked... so all you should do is go to best buy when it comes out not to many people even no about the wii... or atleast people that are not huge gamers

Granny Smith Apples Rule

  • I am calling Shens on the Wii part. At least here, tons of people know about it. It seems to be a big deal on colleges. It is getting the fame of being the "party console."
  • Granny Smith's are good, and they are my choice for baking due to their initial tartness, Rome Goldens are far better for straight-up eating raw.

According to the internets, the Wii is selling out faster than the PS3 did. Who'd have thunk.

I have only met one person that didnt know much about the wii, and even then, he knew what it was.

honestly i guess eveyone on in my area has the 360 so they dont care about the wii... all they are worried about is if the ps3 was teh better buy and if they wasted there money... i might buy the wii just because im tryin to save up money for college (again) and 600 plus games is goin to be a big cut out of what i have right now
