Nancy and Diana have a Wii, the only things i have seen them play is Zelda and Guitar Hero :?

Personally i recommend Dance Dance Revolution and a bottle of tequila...great spectator sport.

Just called Best Buy and got a recorded message that said, basically:

We don't have any Wii s
We don't know when we'll be getting more
We're not taking orders or reservations for Wii s

:shock:

The Wii has been out for over a year now, right? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!!!

Well, it was just Christmas... and also, Nintendo made a stupid move and didn't crank up production enough to meet up with the demand - which is surprisingly still staggeringly high...

Good luck on finding one, DOW. For serious.

You can enable the hand controllers on the DDR for the wii too...


Wii here - http://www.nintendo-wii-bargains.com/b2 ... OAodJUZ7Ww

They are all ebay listings but at least most aren't listing the box contents to make it seem like you are getting something more than default system at $400. But you can get them for about $30 more than retail.

Also find out what day your wal-mart or sams gets their shipments in and check on those days.. The wal-mart around my house gets them at least every 2 weeks if not once a week.

Up here where I am, I was told by someone at futureshop they won't be getting any Wii's till spring or early summer.. My mouth literally dropped. :o I'm sure they'll get some before that then. Maybe. :? I'm still waiting for my GH3 for ps3 to come in stock :(

I had no idea about the shortage of Wii machines etc. I figured I'd just go down and buy one in the next day or so.

I absolutely refuse to buy one from the scalpers. Those folks are lower than dog poop IMO.

I ran across this article concerning GH3 for the Wii.

It seems like every year now there is one of these stories out.

The ones that a kid did something wrong and the parents sell their stuff as punishment. I need to make up a good story so I can make some money.

Just read an article about a Star Wars game where you use the Wii controller like a lightsaber. :cooler:
