.I've had a change of plans. Looks like I'm now going to be at either the Best Buy in Toms River, NJ or the Toys R Us in Toms River at around 12AM Sunday morning. If I don't get lucky, it's Best Buy in Paramus Monday at 12AM.. Oh, and look in the mail for 12% off Best Buy cards!
Post if you're going to be there, and post where your going!

If I don't get lucky there, there's always the nearby Target, Best Buy, Gamestop, and Circuit City. I'm hoping at least ONE of those has a wii for me...

Right now, I'm planning on going to either Target on Roosevelt Blvd, or the one in Oxford Valley.

I'll be going to a Wal-Mart or Target up in Surprise, Arizona. I'm still torn from which games I'll be getting. I may splurge and get Zelda, Rayman, Monkey Ball, Red Steel, and Excite Truck, or just go with Zelda, Rayman, and Monkey Ball.

There's no Best Buy in Toms River.

See ya there Pale. I'll probably get in line in the morning though, DS in hand, as will my fiancee. I also have at least 1 confirmed friend coming and another that'll be there at 10 at night just to chill. Should be a good time, can't wait.

Careful, according to
this thread at CAG a lot of CostCos are saying they're not getting systems on launch day.

Is that Target 24hours?
Post by: decoyman on November 15, 2006, 07:15:35 PM
Too bad, Shaolin: I have Band bros, and I love it. I'm bringing it, and maybe I'll run into someone else with a DS...
And Ceric, at least you'll be productive while waiting for hours. I'm writing Sunday off as a total loss in the area of "gettin' stuff done."
Just thought of this: I hope the weather's nice on Sunday... it's been raining like frick off and on for the past couple days... Rain would make it considerably less fun, I'd imagine.

Damn I wish I could go...
UR is so isolated from Rochester. Ugh, I'll get one eventually.

I happen to know there's a perfectly good, WARM, 24-hour Wal-Mart you could wait inside for the Wii at. Which, coincidentally, will certainly be getting more units than Gamestop.
Post by: ShreddersDojo on November 16, 2006, 10:41:18 AM
Thankfully, down in South Jersey, it's usually warmer by the water than it is hear up north by about 7 degrees, and that makes all the difference

Salem, right?
I'll take you up on that. What's the exact address? (I think I know, but not 100%).
Luckily, I recently acquired one of the last PGC T-shirts that I could wear so you'll recognize me.
I'll be buying my accessories/games at Gamestop, but unless the manager is willing to let me get the console itself at 9 PM at closing, I'll pick it up in Salem.
Hell, maybe I'll keep both Wiis. Never know if I may need a 2nd one or someone will buy it off me.
Post by: Dirk Temporo on November 16, 2006, 02:01:20 PM
Address:
300-344 North Broadway
Salem, NH 03079
So I guess if you're going there, I'll see you there. =D I look like this:

I won't be wearing a suit like that though, obviously. >.> I will probably be wearing a hat like that, so keep an eye out. What time are you gonna show up?
Post by: Smash_Brother on November 16, 2006, 02:56:06 PM
I called the Somersworth and they WILL be doing a midnight launch. I was under the impression that it needed to be a Wal-Mart Supercenter that stays open 24 hours in order to pick one up at midnight (I never even would have asked, I just assumed the Salem one was a 24 hour supercenter hence why you were going there). If your local mall is Fox Run, how is Salem the closest Wal-Mart to you?
To be honest, I'm still hoping to finagle a Wii out of my GS at 9 PM when they close. I cannot possibly imagine that breaking street date by a whole three hours will have any ramifications. By the time it would be possible to contact a Nintendo rep, it would be impossible to prove.

After I read your post, I figured I'd call and check and they're going to stay open for the Wii launch.
If Fox Run is your local mall, how is Salem the closest Wal-Mart to you? It'd be cool too meet you at Wal-Mart, but Salem is a good 45 minutes to an hour for me both ways.

Post by: segagamer12 on November 16, 2006, 03:20:59 PM
Jerome is the closest Wal-mart to me. Well ok from where I work anyways I think Elko is just as close but I could be wrong. I forget hwo far jerome is from twin. It sorta got further away when they re-did the highway and you gotta go on the loopdeloop thing instead of just turn left.

Salem is the closest 24 hour Wal-Mart to me. I didn't want to wait outside. >.> It's about 45 minutes away from me too, I think.
Post by: Smash_Brother on November 16, 2006, 03:38:24 PM
I need to call the Somersworth one tomorrow to see if they're going to let people wait inside or not. If not, I may join you at Salem or depending on how I feel, I might opt to wait until Sunday morning.
I have enough alcohol to override the anticipation and help me sleep if necessary.

Alright, just across the bay! Santa Cruz is a cool town. Last time I was over there, I saw a band of like 12 steel drum players just jamming on a street corner, with a crowd of probably 60 people listening and rocking out. I'm originally from Nebraska, and I'd never seen anything like that before
Anyways, the one I'm thinking of isn't actually in Monterey – it's in Sand City. I just figured more people would recognize Monterey (and that's where I live anyways).

...called up Costco today, they're not getting them in store, only online. Now I gotta rethink my entire plan. Curse you Costco! I'm a scholar of yours damnit!
