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?

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.

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...

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.

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. |

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

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)

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

How long do you expect it will be before you can just go into a store for a Wii? Which store will you use? Quote:

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