"Mario himself could kill a Nintendo fan's parents and he'd still find some way to rationalize his loss as a brilliant business move by Nintendo that truly speaks to him as a gamer."

Bought a used one at Gamestop. It was only $20 less and came with everything. Remotes were really dirty so I cleaned them. The console works great.

Thanks to mackormoses for this badass sig!

I had been calling Best Buy for weeks, and time and time again, they've always been "out of stock".
Little did I know they had them the whole time. >.>

One day when my dad was home, I called Best Buy and they said they were out. I told my dad, and he told me to give him the phone.
He asked them himself, thinking they would take him more seriously. They put him on hold.
After a while, he was disconnected. He called again, and got disconnected on again. O_o
He was mad. (Note: My dad can be a pretty intimidating person.)
He called them up. Before the clerk could say "Hello", he demanded to speak to the manager.
He got his number and was told they had 16 Wii's in the backroom. :D
I got my Wii later that day.
^_^
Lol!

I wouldn't really say I camped out, a bunch of friends and I went up there early and played all sorts of ds games for hours. I think the first one that got there waited 17 hours. It was all fun though, I'd do it again. Great social experience for mostly anti-social people.

My local Costco were selling them, they only had 20 of them in stock. I got there at about 7:00am and was first in line! Nobody else was there! At least untill later. So after waiting about 1 hour they opened and I got it. Yay me!

Came home from school, went to turn on the TV and my dad gave it too me...

I wrote like 3 papers about it in Writing class....

Twill never forget it.

I got mine for $350. But thats because it came with two games.

I got mine around release date (sometime before Thanksgiving last year, if memory serves) at a target, and picked up Twilight Princess at a Gamestop across the street.  I still have the "purchase ticket" the clerk handed out to the people waiting in line.

... no, I got there around six in the morning; I wasn't up for the "sleepover", especially outside a Target. XD


Shadowlink19

I got mine on the release date by camping out in front of the store for 8 hours and 30 minutes. Long wait, but worth it in the end. Good times, good times...
