    If you buy a Wii, the terrorists win.

    Nintendo is from Japan. The Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. You hate America.

    Haters :mad:

    Wii is not a racist. The other fruit colors are coming.
    xboxes ain't all american and I bet they are made in China.
    Wii is not a terrorist. Damn the faulty intelligence.
    Japan did not bomb Pearl Harbor, German did it.

    Xboxes are made in Mexico and there's an immigrant hiding in every box.

    I spent many a weekend standing in lines and trying to get one.

    Finally, I did....at a Toys-R-Us, and only because the people in front of me left because they thought they were out. I got the last one.

    Try Sam's or Costco. Call them and ask when their shipment of Wii's arrive, and then ask them when you need to get there. They'll usually give you the scoop.

    You should have gotten up at 4:30am last Friday and stood in line. I got mine 90 minutes later and left Gamestop. People got there as late as 5:30am and still got one. Now, it's a complete free for all.

    The scarcity of Wii is by far the strongest indicator of the failing US economy. And I blame that on Bush.

    Trust me, there's no way in the world I'm getting up at 4:30 a.m. to buy anything, much less a video game system. Please. :D

    I got one from Craig's List last year... about $50-75 over retail, which was a great deal at the time. Met the person inside a Randall's so I'd be safe. Turned out to be a UT student with his hot girlfriend, which made me feel a bit silly, until I realized they were just as relieved as I was that neither one of us looked like we'd lifted it. ;)

    Good luck! My kids were shocked. Made for a great Christmas. I spent the whole time up to December 25th acting like I was desperately looking for one and was filled with gloom and doom. I had them totally fooled.

    Impeach Bush for Creating Idiots.

    I stood in line all night to get one at launch for RefGal's son.

    Don't blame all of us because you don't love your kids enough to stand in a cold line in the middle of the night for a Wii. :p ;) :D

    (Notice...just ribbing ya a little)
