Would you wait in line for a Wii?
 
Now the PS3 is out, the question has to be;

Would you wait in line for a Wii?

:D

Wii would you?

Aerkuld 11-17-2006 06:24 AM

...and will it's successor be the 'Nintendo - Number 2' or the 'Poo'?

I would camp out for somethings, but a game system wouldn't be one of them.

I guess electronic gaming has become the "home computer" of this decade. I doubt I will ever have one... too much reality out there for me to enjoy. I suppose the media has done a bad job of brainwashing me into believing I need every electronic gadget under the sun. ;)

Are you telling me the Wii is a why?

Why is Wii a why, why not a wee?

Somebody needs to explain that as all I heve heard it refered to as is the wee.
That just takes all the fun out of it.

I wouldn't camp out for anything. Not when you can just walk in after Christmas and buy it off the shelf or order off the internet. It's all about instant gratification. I come from a background that was taught to wait for what you want and you'll appreciate it more....Like a 911 for instance...

THAT'S JUST CRAZY TALK!

Wait for a Wii? Just ask Cartman.

Indeed. South Park is the reliable source on which I am basing my information for the correct pronouciation of 'Wii'

I have some more questions though,

Does this mean that I will have to wait until Sunday for a Wii?

Will I have to wait in line for a Wii?

What if I need a wee but already have a place in the line? Will someone hold it for me?

Will I be able to take my Wii home in a carrier bag?

What if this doesn't translate well between American English and English English?

How much more ridiculous does this have to get?

Has Friday arrived un-noticed?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Big Ed 11-17-2006 07:31 AM

Yes I would. Soon as she's of legal age....

And all that cash is a nice bonus, too.

I will buy Wii. But not wait in line for it. Nintendo is my gamebox of choice and I will keep buying new iterations.

Hey - Nintendo is targetting women as part of their marketing strategy to attack that 60% of households that don't own systems. Might be worthwhile to be close to that.

Otherwise the best gaming is PC based anyway. BF2 with FH mod rules.

widebody911 11-17-2006 07:47 AM

I had heard it pronounced "why" but as noted before, I'm notoriously un-hip and not-with-it.

From what I have seen this system uses hand held controllers that you move in space to play the games, rather than a joystick.

Are they coming out with 'Virtual Ironing'? :D

Aerkuld 11-17-2006 07:56 AM

According to this...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii

it's 'We'.

That isn't to say it isn't any good, that's how you pronounce it.

That leaves the door wide open...

(At least Jim knows what's going on)

red-beard 11-17-2006 08:07 AM

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!

No. Asolutely not. I am not allowed to wait in line for something like this, I have an IQ over 100. ;)

Sorry about my previous comment...
How long do you expect it will be before you can just go into a store for a Wii?
Which store will you use?

Are Nintendo actually aiming Wii at women?

At a Dodger game I once waited in line for a wee...
