Wii pages roundup

At first I thought these were the various stores rating the Wii Channels idea.

Whoooo's a moron? That's right. Me.

Look at the Wave/Point/Rumble/Listen picture.

Funny how the SIXAXIS controller can only do ONE of those things(Wave, and that too only six directions whereas the Wiimote is able to handle 1:1 motion recognition) yet Sony fanboys love to call the Wiimote a gimmick and "just a new controller".

definitely agree with the best buy assessment. Far and away the better retail and online store of those mentioned.

The eB Games page goe to a gme called Elebits (for the Wii).

Come on guys... you know as well as most of us that the "bored" guy is an official picture from Nintendo in their usual screenshot plus pic of person playing with the Wiimote. Actually, I am pretty sure that he is in one of the trailers that was put out around E3. You can't really mark them down for that, given that there probably aren't that many official Metroid pics to choose from.

As for the sites themselves and their quality, do people think this reflects the respective laziness of the respective companies or is it meant to reflect how much they are "pushing" the Wii in the Christmas season?

LOL , I am camping out at Best Buy, AND they have the best ad, WOOT

You cant even preorder one or a ps3 online yet. I dont understand why since eb was taking preorders for 360 in august of last year!

I downloaded a Wii countdown timer widget.

Gamecrazy. http://www.gamecrazy.com/platforms/wii.aspx I know a lot of gamers want to buy their systems from a video game retailer and not Walmart or Best Buy. And I know many gamers have problems with Gamestop/EB. But Gamecrazy offers certain things with their membership that you can't get at Gamestop(Like entrance into tournaments, I've won $100 in store credit). By the way for full disclosure, I used to work at Gamestop, and my brother works at Gamecrazy. Gamestop employees aren't allowed to play any games when customers are in the store, but at Gamecrazy assuming a customer doesn't need you, they encourage it. There aren't nearly as many Gamecrazy's as Gamestop's/EB but if you find one, they might have an extra Wii on launch day.

to #7:

i think since so many retailers did not receive anywhere near the amount of machines to cover the pre-orders they took on the 360, they are wary of taking too many, if any, pre-orders this time. with all the questions and hassles, customers may look down on a store if it is unable to ship them their wii/ps3 at launch and most stores would rather err on the side of caution than lose customers to another store

How many times has someone mentioned Game Crazy in the comment in the last few weeks? Is it the same guy every time? Isn't the store going to close, anyway, as in, it sucks?

Not long now... =)
