Nintendo Wii
AlanS17:
GameStop is fulfilling their Wii pre-orders starting at midnight tonight (or at least the one near me is).
I pre-ordered and then handed off the receipt to my brother so he could get it for me for Christmas. I figure I did the hard stuff. All he has to do is shown up.
So even though we can be some of the first in the country to get it, I still won't be able to play it til December 25th. :hissy:

Got my Wii yesterday and it is an absolute blast to play. Got a buddy that works at Nintendo so I was able to pick one up early. Madden 07 is unbelievable. Wii Sports is pretty good, with Tennis and Golf our favorites so far. Heck my wife is even enjoying it. Way to go Nintendo!

probably because it had a lot more better games...
but to each his own...I dont really see the appeal of the Wii either...
and I don't have a 360 OR a PS3
I dont have an HD tv so it wouldnt be worth for me yet

I'm in the same boat. I'll be waiting in line for just 2 hours. I plan on getting to Wal Mart in about an hour now (it's open 24 hours.) Wife said she saw a sign earlier today near the front telling people where to form a line. There was none, at around noon. While unconfirmed, that link has been saying my WM is getting 53. Based on the "line" of the PS3, I think I should be fine, but the free controller is a slight wild card.

While our printed version DID show the deal, the online version is not listing it. I suggest to check with your store. It is listed in there in ours. We double checked to make sure, because Target was offering an extra nunchuk if you bought an extra remote, but WM offered the entire set with the system. We conveniently threw it away (d'oh,) but we know it was there. They usually have those ads near the front of the store on a desk, or maybe customer service has some.
Edit: Well, hell, I don't know what to think now. Maybe I was just reading something wrong. I would've bet my life on reading that an additional set of remote/nunchuk was going to be thrown in if you bought it on launch day. Plus, the online Target ads don't show anything related to the Wii, and I DO bet my life that it WAS advertised in Sunday's ads. We'll see.
I'll write in as soon as I get home about what to expect. (Should be before 12:45.)

Hmm, I wasn't planning on getting a Wii tonight (I'm getting it for Christmas, so no hurry), if a free remote and nunchuck come with it, then I probably will get it tonight. I'll swing by Walmart and take a look at their ad. If it is like you say, then you won't hear back from me until tommorrow :)
