Official 'I got a Wii' thread

[Happy]

Wii arrived at 10 today from amazon

 

[dgraves]

My son and I showed up at a local gaming store at 4:00am the day after Thanksgiving and were 6th in line. The store manager showed up about 6:00am and told everyone that they only had 6 Wiis to sell. By this time there was about 20 people in line all wanting a Wii. We were pumped that we were getting the last one. We went home and set it up right away and have been playing it every since.

I got my Wii on Launch day from Gamestation, I was Number 1 on the preorder list, so I had no problem getting mine. But...I havent played it yet.

My mum gave me the money to buy it, because she was at work at the time and couldnt make it in (the Wii is a Christmas present, so its all wrapped up with Zelda which she gave me money for that same day...there it has been laying, wrapped up for the past 2 weeks!)

I also bought Wii Play (with my own money) seeing as it comes with the extra contoller :yesnod: Cant wait for Christmas!

I got my wii yesterday from game crazy.
they also had ps3's, but they are waaay to expensive for me...
I figured out that they were taking names to reserve one, unlike most other stores. So, I put my name down, they said, "We know we won't be getting anymore before Christmas." Yesterday, the phone rang and I saw they were calling us.
I picked it up and was amazed to hear they got them in already!!!

Now I have my Wii, Wii sports, Red steel, Twilight Princess+Collecters' Edition guide, Call of Duty 3, and 2,000 Wii points!
Lucky for me!

I've had my Wii since 9th Dec...... but I only got to play it for 10 minutes to make sure it worked before my fiance wrapped it in pretty paper. I get to unwrap it tommorrow!!! The worst thing is it was my birthday yesterday and he bought me Wii Points, Sims 2 pets on Gamecube and Red Steel on Wii.

My gamecube is sadly departed (RIP) so I decided rather than buy another GC I would wait to get my Wii. I spent yesterday staring at the Game cases counting down the minutes until I finally get my hands on my Wii!

[Yellow_Wii]

WOOT WOOT!!!! I GOT MY WII!!!!

it is the best console ever......!

i love it

though i am popping down to the shops l8er to get a game and a wireless internet thingy

but i could just live on wii sports

by the way shall i get zelda or red steel

 

[psyichic]

Zelda. Its gotten great reviews. And Red Steel people say is just horrible really. Bad design, linear play style, pre-scripted sword fighting scenes, bad storyline, and even the controls for the swords I have heard are not 1:1 movements and they aren't that amazing.

I would say Zelda.
