"Should we have pre-ordered?"
« on: November 20, 2006, 03:32:02 PM »
"NO "
"NO"
"NO"
"NO"
"What a waste of time!"
"'Cause you can walk into a Wal-Mart, pick one up, and leave."
"Here, now here's the best part.  You can probably walk into a GameStop and pick one up and leave."
"There's a million of them!"
"Even if you have ethical problems with Wal-Mart, don't worry, you know, you're not gonna' have trouble.  Look there are one million units on launch day, in North America.  That's twice as many as they had for GameCube and you could walk into places on GameCube launch day and pick up one."

For this and more helpful advice, ask the experts at the NintendoWorldReport's Radio Free Nintendo podcast.

I look forward to strolling on into the shops upon launch day here, empty stores, staff with a glazed over look in their eyes as I ask for my pre-ordered Wii "Isss thiiiis that neeew PlayStaaaation, heeere you gooooo".

VGRevolution and S_B get the gloating rights, though, since they were the ones that got mocked during that episode of the Podcast.

There were lines for preorders here in Japan

I hope I can still get one when they come out. And now I'll have the good fortune of knowing which launch titles to avoid!

I could have showed up at about 6:30 AM and still gotten one...wouldn't have waited in line as long as I had to to preorder.

That said...I camped out all night and froze my buns off.  Then a hobo walked by and used them for his hot dog.

"Hello, GameStop.  My name is M*** how may I help you?"
"About the Nintendo Wii."
"Yes?"
"Can I walk into a GameStop, pick one up, and leave?"
"No we sold out in minutes."
"Here, now here's the best part. You can probably walk into a GameStop and pick one up and leave."
"No sir, all locations in the area are sold out.  We should be getting another shipment soon, but we don't know when."

I'm a stand up comedian, and you're a hobo... I can't have a relationship with someone who earns more than me!

Nice joke

I camped out too and am glad I did because Sid didn't and he doesn't have one. HA! Take that!
