This might be a little off the subject, but I picked up my Wii from my local gamecrazy and the atmosphere was very lay back. I took me a half hour to get my wii. Very pleased.

Wow, that queue is just amazingly massive! Does anyone know how this relates to some of the queues for Gamecube?

i dunno, but is it just me or is this guy pathetic. To wait so long for a system is one thing, but to then sing a "song" in front of god knows how many people + tv/web cameras.. some people just have no sense in self pride.

Went to Nintendo World in New York at 5 am. I stood in line for 9 hours. The good news? They had plenty in stock. If only it were warmer.

You friggin' punks lied! In an article a while back, you said the Wii could be used as a whiteboard and "not to worry, it comes off with a damp paper towel." Well a couple hours ago, one of my buds was at my house, playin around on the Wii. He was takin a quick shower and I had to go out and buy more beers. I noticed a whiteboard marker sitting around so I wrote a note on the Wii. When I got back, I tried to wipe off the message, and nothing happened. I'd better get a solution to this, cause I'm pretty pissed now.

Epsilon, you are the perfect foil.

This just shows that the PS3 is the game machine for the streets. Violence, shootings...

People are playing the Wii on a Segway. Unless you're Gob from Arrested Development, it's just too white. At Universal Citywalk, no less. Whiter than my Wii.

That girl.... wow.

And the eBayer was clearly a blind Sony fanboy who is driven by exactly what Sony wants. The name. Who cares about the price. It must be good just because it is PlayStation. That, and be ignorant to everything. "It has the BluRay. I need a BluRay". I'm nearly 100% sure he has no idea what it is for and that he probably can't take advantage of it anyways (other than storage space). Sony makes you think you need it, and the blink fanboys / little kids raised on PlayStation eat it right up.

@Epsilon

Make sure that Whiteboard Marker isn't filled with Permanent ink. If all else fails, try applying acetone but test it first to make sure it does not melt the Wii casing.

Shit, that looks fun. :( Instead I stand in Wal-mart, who only sells half their Wiis, with most of us getting shafted.

The guy selling his Wii on eBay sounded stoned.

Probably a SOCOM player.

Geoff, you sound like a guy who's just been turned down by a girl. "She really wants me, she just said no because she's on the rag or something! That or she's a crazy dyke. I'm nearly almost 100% sure!!!!"

Yeah, it's not full of permanent ink, it's an Expo pen and SHOULD be fine, according to what these guys say. I mean, I've even tried using shower cleaner spray and it doesn't even smudge.

Five hours within unboxing and the casing is already vandalized. By myself no less. ;_;

#21 -- They were giving Wii baseball caps, beanies, wristbands and stuff out to people in line. I think one of the people I interviewed mentioned that ... or at least has a Wii hat on.

"How long have you been waiting"?

Guy in Mario Suit " Since 1991"


Haha, so hardcore starting off with an SNES. What about us that had the NES in 1987.

4 registers is bad. However, the launch "party" in Redmond at GameCrazy (supposedly a launch party, but the only parts of it resembling a "party" were the awkward conversations, the party favors, and the people passing out on the floor as time wore on) had about 200-250 people in line (many were turned away due to limited supply), and only 2 registers. 2 registers wouldn't have been so bad if there was MORE THAN ONE CREDIT CARD MACHINE. It also would have been nice if that credit card machine could process more than one transaction per hour. We were about a hundred deep in the line, and it was nearly 4am when we finally got our Wiis (Wii's? Wiii?). For all of my complaining, however, it was totally worth it. Wii boxing is a blast, and Zelda makes me happy that I was born. Even my girlfriend likes it; she was SO excited to make a Mii for each of us.

I was wondering what were the last two words Jacqueline said, and after careful sound analysis I figured out her final line was "I'm going to have my hands on a Wii, so awesome!"

Funny, I don't ever remember Mario wearing overalls with no shirt. (yuk!)
Looks like that dude's a member of Dexy's Midnight Runners.
