If there is some hardcore gamer who really wanted one so bad I'm sure he could have come 2 or 3 hours before me and he would have got one. I was the last person in line and if there would have been people there 20 minutes before they wouldnt have got one. So to those who say its wrong to buy them just to make money when there are people who would buy them to play them, I say wait 32 hours instead. And by the way, I had actually planned on buying one to keep and play myself but there was no more 60 gig ones left and that is the one I wanted, looks like I am gonna have to wait in line again when the next shipment comes out.
I don't say that there's something wrong with it. But it's really easy money, you should be grateful.

I should move to the other side of the river just to get a free one :P or just get a cheap appartment there.

Got a Nintendo Wii today. Its awesome!
All I had to do was goto Roger's video @ 7am this morning, and there was no one there at all, just my friend and I. We knew someone that was waiting outside of Best Buy since 7pm Saturday night. We got our Wii's at 10am this morning, and we drove by Best Buy afterwards where there was atleast 40 ppl in line and we flashed our boxes out the window and the look and the ppls faces were priceless hehe :)

Actually, I shouldn't have said "local" it's with Sympatico...go to their website and you can see it there. I want to ask people who have Sympatico to see if it's worth it...I don't want to be stuck 3 more years with another company that pretty much sucks (pointing at Videotron). I am looking to see if it's reliable and how many GBs I can download per month :P

Ohh and atoal, don't take it as an attack...you gotta do what you gotta do, I guess...
Like we said, it is not about being a "hardcore gamer" or not. That has nothing to do with it. I consider myself a hardcore gamer too, and I expect to own all three consoles somewhere along the road, but does it make me any less of a "hardcore gamer" if I didnt get it because 1) They weren't any stores here that took preorders and 2) I had tests and work to do those days, thus I just couldn't afford to miss class or camping..? Like I said, it's the idea of just getting it only to resell it and not for the sake of playing it when junior could have gotten it for Xmas, yet he is going to have to settle for some socks and a sweater :P

King, cool that you got the Wii without any problem, is it hard to play?!
I played the Wii Sports game and it was pretty easy to pick up, but I assume Zelda or any other game might be hard to get used to playing it.

There is a small learning curve, but it's worth the effort. Great system! Between my friend and I we have Zelda, Trauma Center & Call Of Duty 3

Videotron is one of the worst ones out there.

I have Sympatico and it's a uncapped account. All new accounts are capped at around 30gb a month. It is a very good ISP (at least for me). Just don't go for the Ultra High Speed, all you get that is diffrent then the normal account is a shitty wireless modem that Sympatico is having alot of problems with.

Thanks, I think I might go with them then...I'll see if I can find something better, but if not, I am moving with sympatico then. 30gbs isnt that bad, with videotron (on cable) I only have 4GB per month...what can you do with that?!

Here's the promotion about a free xbox, check it out Sympatico
