Full Version: Good Deal On A Wii?
FCP Poker Forum > Off Topic Forums > General

With the games it's supposed to come with I'd say this is worth the money. Problem is I've never heard of the site. I found the link after searching through yahoo shopping.

Your thoughts?

btw I'm not plugging this site and am hoping that by posting this think I don't end up with getting them a ton of sales so they sell out before I can get mine. But I also don't want to get ripped off.

Nvm, found a thread that pretty much solidifies this as a scam, sorry for the posts.

I guess if anyone has any good ideas for getting a wii besides calling stores everyday and hoping to get lucky I'd be happy to hear it.

Well, you can look on target or circut city or best buy ads and if they have advertise a Wii, then it will be in stock sunday morning (or whenever that advertisment sale comes into effect).

Or you can actually go to the stores and ask them personally to get more information.

It's odd though, it took forever for me to find a Wii, now that I have it...I seem to see it in stock all the time now sad.gif.

Is it still that hard to get a Wii? Wow.

YEah I was watching those at work yesterday. Oddly enough the WiiFit looks cool. It made me fire up my Wii last night which has been getting little action since I started playing WoW.

Yeah, WiiFit seems pretty decent. I will probably get it.

Oddly enough, I stopped playing WoW Since I bought my Wii.

I stopped playing WoW when it was clear the carrot wasn't worth chasing. Oh and the expansion was a big FU to their fanbase.

Bumblebee and Ghost Mario?!

Not that anyone cares but I got one from ebay and it has definitely ruined my life. I've only played Wii Sports and it's only gonna get worse when Tiger Woods 08 is released later this month.

I have Paper Mario and I'm getting into it...I'm not a big fan of all the reading at the beginning. I also have Call of Duty and haven't tried it yet.

Hopefully by this time next week I'll be in my new apartment (still under construction, I've been house sitting since July 15th and will be in a hotel starting today until my apartment is ready) and I'll have my new big screen TV so I can really dedicate some time to these games.

get ExciteTruck
Jadaki
If you haven't played it before, pick up RE4: Wii Edition.

Mario Strikers Charged is supposed to be really good, I liked the GC version so I will probably pick this up at some point.

Also Mercury Meltdown Revolution is supposed to be good if your into puzzle/brain games.

If anybody wants a Wii at retail...go here.

http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2549771

It will show up as sold out right now...they release new ones at :40 after the hour. Not EVERY hour, but a whole lot in the last 2 days. They did it today at 9:40est 10:40est and just now again at 12:40.

I got mine for $250 + tax/shipping. $277.change total. Can't go wrong with that smile.gif
mbreon
Can't wait until the new Super Smash Bros. game comes out. Smash Bros for GC = best game ever, IMO.

That's weird, it worked for me earlier, at 12:40 PST. I didn't buy the system, just wanted to see if it would work.
Yoda
Yea you just have to get lucky.

But let me disclaimer - since ordering i've gotten an email saying the item is on backorder and I will be notified when the item has been shipped.

They obviously haven't opened up the floodgates for orders, but who knows how backordered they are and how many they get in per week :-/ Kind of disappointing but oh well. I'll let you know how quick or slow it takes.

I've found the best places to check are sunday mornings at Target and Toys R Us. They are still usually gone within an hour though.
