I got a Wii
Buddabing:
I was able to get a Wii today. Only three days after Christmas, my son hasn't minded waiting.
Our strategy was to call GameStop every day to see if they were going to get a shipment. So today they were going to get a shipment between 12:00 and 1:00 in the afternoon. I showed up at the store at 12:00 and the UPS man came at 12:15. Voila.
Along with the Wii, I bought Metal Slug Anthology today, and he got Zelda and Trauma Center for Christmas from his relatives.
They didn't have any extra controllers, so two-player sports is out until I get one.
W00t!

The one bummer....
Too bad the Wii doesn't play DVDs. With its support for the internet & the 3rd party alpha of an mp3, video & picture streaming server that would get it pretty close to a half assed media center.

Just wanted to let everyone know... I got an email from Nintendo and they're shipping my Wii remote replacement straps via standard mail. Says I should get them within the next 5-9 business days.

Well I have not one, but two submissions for wiihaveaproblem.com... First of all, my brother was playing Wii Sports bowling and bowled straight through a glass on the coffee table. He hit it so hard that the base never moved. The top of it just shattered like a glass grenade and the base stayed in place. He spent 20 minutes vacuuming up the mess.
Then just now, I was playing Wii sports bowling (drunk, but that's besides the point) again when I swung so hard forward that I hit the coffee table with the remote, busting the remote in the process. I totally jacked it up. I split it in half and now the gyros don't work. I'm totally returning it to Toys R Us... :angel:
