Tis a Wii long night...
Well.. I didn't wait in line for no more than 20 minutes, walked into Walmart and picked up a new Wii and Zelda.. 315 bucks after tax.
I must say... wow. And I have Metroid Prime from the game cube in right now and it's running just fine
I be a happy person.

Seems a lot better than standing in line, getting robbed, and possibly shot at. COUGH COUGH FRIDAY FOR PS3 hahah
I got one too! My older brother and his wife stood in two different lines and they picked one up for me. According to him, the crowds in Silverdale were real cool. No one really bothered each other, everyone made friends, and they all WALKED into the stores to get their Wiis.

I'm hoping that they come out with a Mario game that rocks the old Mario 64 (I didn't like Sunshine).
And MARIO KART (<--my fav Nintendo game)!!!
The one thing I must say is that from the lines last night everyone was happy and excited...true fans! My brothers had a blast similar to when we got the 360.
It was a shame with the PS3 because Kelly & I went on Wednesday and were told we couldn't wait that early in line and that the soonest we could start lining up was Thursday at 8 am. We got there at 6 am and there was already people camped out...bastards. Then when the first guy in line kept calling friends in to cut so that he could have ALL of the store's allotment, the two managers at BEST BUY in PUYALLUP wouldn't do anything about it. They basically told Kelly & I (and the other PS3 fans) "too bad, so sad". The guy in front (and his 25 friends, family, & kids) were doing it just to sell it. They were a$$holes who could only be surmised as "swarmy" by Kelly. I hope they lose money!
Needless to say...I'm not getting a PS3 till Costco starts selling it next year and I won't buy anything at Best Buy during my holiday shopping cuz I'm ____ed at how rude and apathetic the store managers behaved.

My housemate picked up his Wii preorder last night...only like 2 people in line. Sad 
I spent the last 5 hours playing Wii Sports and Zelda....holy crap they're fun. The new controllers make the play experience very interactive and enjoyable. Unfortunately...now I have 5 hours of homework to catch up on. Eek.

Well I must say that the Wii experience has been a awesome adventure and a weird learning curve. I will say that this is the best gaming experience ever. The fact you can actually do the battles and get heavily into it (Zelda is a perfect example of this) made this system even more so intense. Racing games are also going to be a blast! I can only give Nintendo some heavy props for bringing this system out.
Yeah, Silverdale was very cool from what I heard. The few people that were in line at the Walmart in Pousbo where I got mine was a walk into the gaming section, picked one up, walked out and I wasn't even sweating getting mugged The experience vs what was seen and heard of the PS3 added a heavy distaste, even though the system is very nice, i'll pick me up a 360 before hand...
