Or download the updated Opera browser for free when you get it before Nintendo starts charging for it.

Once I get my Wii, I will download the browser right away. My birthday is supposed to be in the 7th of July, but I've convinced my parents to give it to me in early June in exchange for good grades. It isn't really that hard, but there are some teachers that are plain out dicks and give you grades that supposedly are yours, but are not.

My parents wouldn't even get me Masterpiece Megatron. I doubt they'll go the extra two-hundred and thirty before tax for a game console I really don't need.

If you see one anywhere for any price under $500, pick it up. Now that games such as Metroid Prime 3, Super Mario Galaxy, Mario Party 8, and Super Smash Brothers Brawl are being announced, people will be buying Wiis left and right. My friend had a chance to buy a Wii a couple months ago, but he didn't because there weren't enough good games out and he thought he didn't need one yet. He currently regrets that decision.

Seriously, buy it.

I camped out in front of toys r us for the midnight launch in time square back in november, my mom at the time told me I was crazy.

Now she doesn't think so much anymore when I told her the system is still sold out.

Seriously though, I've been following the industry since I was old enough to hold a controller and I've never seen anything like this. I remember the ps2 being sold out for a while but not like this, this is insane. I predicted the wii's would be easy to get around march... now it's may and they're still sold out, sheesh.

Honestly, if you can't find one just buy it on ebay, they are only going for about three hundred to three fifty last time I checked.

Anyone gotten good suggestions for games?

Besides Twilight Princess and Super Paper Mario.

I've heard that Trauma Center and Wario Ware are pretty fun, but both of those games seem like the type which would wear out their welcome pretty quickly.

As it stands, though, the Wii looks like it'll be getting a lot of games released in the next few months, so in the time it takes you to beat Twilight Princess and Super Paper Mario there will probably be something new out worth getting.

Damn, I so would have sold you mine if this thread had been created, like, two to three weeks ago!

We've been getting reports of some stores actually raising the price like dickholes... which pisses me off, but yeah. It -should- only be 250.... at least, that's what -we- set it as. Sadly, retail stores can raise/lower the price without it being illegal, which blows.

Also, do not buy 3rd party cables for it. For the love of God don't buy them. It's not worth the money saved!

*blinks* Still sold out? A few months ago, when I got mine, it seemed like it was going to start slowing down. Walmart actually had kept some through an entire day. I thought that was a sure sign it was slowing down. Guess not.
