Not to start a rumor, but..
« on: September 18, 2006, 05:21:44 PM »
Okay, I don't want to start unfounded rumors, but I've heard a rumor concering a particular national retailer, a particular new video game system, a particular longly-awaited game and a particular shopping holiday coming up.

I'll let you guys know if I hear anything else, but all I'm going to say is don't pre-order somewhere if you can't cancel it and get your deposit back.

It's Best Buy.  I would laugh if it was Sears.

Well let's see hear, UncleBob works at WalMart, The Wii is coming out, and Zelda is long awaited. Perhaps a Black Friday sale that will sell out in seconds?

Walmart doing something like that.  Even better yet giving employees the heads up... I seriously doubt it.

Does it have anything to do with a Zelda preorder bonus?

Me thinks this is a spoof of the Joystiq announcement.

And everyone knows the surprise is Jumbo/LARGE.

Sounds to me like he is saying Wal-Mart may give Zelda away at launch!

As someone who has worked Mass Merchandis Retail in the past, I know that upcoming sales flyers sometimes get squirreled out of the manager's office. I could tell you stories about Furbies, but I won't.

Too early. Then they'd have to delay Metroid AGAIN?!?!? ... or maybe that'd be a good thing if they can make Metroid not suck online...

A Zelda-colored wii would be cool, I was thinking it would be neat if they had the power/reset/eject buttons in the shape of the 3 spiritual stones on a gold wii, or maybe painted like a treasure chest.
