I have been searching for a Wii for weeks now and I've been calling stores around my area reguarding it. Finally I find a package that contains the 1 GB Memory Disc, Console, 2 Numchucks/Controllers, 4 $50 games. The total is 600 dollars (plus tax and shipping).
Is that worth it? |

No, the Wii is overhyped and it's not worth the current asking price. Wait till more games come out for it.
wtf is a numchuck? |

The other piece to the main controller is the numchuck.

What 4 games out now are worth buying anyway?
TP? Sonic? Maybe WarioWare? |

The point I was trying to make is that you can get the same items for cheaper price, not necessarily same brand etc. The way he described it was system and two controllers, so I took it as that, and not the package plus two. Anyway, shipping is probably astronomical, and you can't choose your own games. or you could get used for far cheaper as well. |

What more can you expect, kid?
Try buying the same things for a ps3. Or, a 360, that close to it's launch. |

Okay, so I might not buy it online. Tomorrow some stores around my area have it and I'm planning on waiting in line.
How early should I get there? I was thinking about waiting in line for about 3-4 hours. |

If they're not just getting them in, I wouldn't go that early.
The Wii's been out for a while, so I'm sure they'll have some in stock. You can also call ahead. Like, tonight. |

Well, I plan to go to Bestbuy which only has about 20-30 of them.
I still don't know when to leave. I guess if one store is too large, I can go to another one. |

Nevermind now. I got it.
 I waited 3 hours (7-10AM) and I was number 16 out of the 70 people who could get Wiis. Hah. This can be closed now. |
