Shameless Wii scalping

[MasterChef]

I blame the media! Everything that was on the news around christmas time was wii this and wii that. Since it was on the news everyone had to have the "hot item." As far as the people selling them on ebay for a much higher price. I remember when the ps2 came out and the same thing was happening.

I got my wii when they came out over a year ago and I had no trouble getting it. I was signed up for the ebgames/gamestop newsletter thing that said when they would be allowing preorders online. So I opened up my browser and refreshed it every few minutes and there it was. Wii came in the mail and I didn't even have to fight people in a line to get it.

As much as I hate it, I feel myself starting to fold today on my stand against the scalpers.

The PS3 has been available and plentiful at every store I've checked. There was a Target in Atlanta that had 'em stacked on the floor because there wasn't enough room in the display case. I can only surmise that Sony got royally hosed with the PS3.

Hee hee hee, I did indeed. As I was heading into the local mall, I saw a lady leaving with a Wii in a Zellers bag, so that's where I went.

They had four left. ^^

[Tickles]

Ah, nice job! I thought it was the Zellers tag!

[DeafOfficeWorker]

Don't know what Zellers is...don't care...

*sings "I'm gettin' a Wii...I'm gettin' a Wii..."

Umbrella Chronicles is a shooter too? I'm really looking forward to the FPS experience on the Wii. Any other titles you would recommend?

I was afraid that you had quit us, Loka. Good to see ya, gal!

EDIT: Do you have, or have you used, a Wii Zapper?

Umbrella Chronicles is like the old arcade shooters... just aim the "gun" at the screen (it has an x-hair that comes up) and you shoot. It's a real fun game... a little short though. Don't foget to aim for the head
