Just got my Wii yesterday.

I lucked onto it so bad. I've been trying to get my hands on one since launch and my vigilance finally paid off. I had found out about a week or two ago that Target consistantly gets shipments of Wii's about every two weeks on Saturday nights. So last week I tried to get one and failed because I had to go to church SUnday morning and couldn't get to Target until about 1:00pm. So I tried again yesterday because I got my parents to let me skip church. I was unsuccessful again because they didn't end up getting any that week. Despairing and dejected I got into my car to go home. As I was about to start my car I looked across the parking lot to a Circuit City that had a line of people standing outside the doors. You can guess what they were waiting for. So I rushed over there and asked them if they were waiting for Wii's. They were, to my overwhelming joy. (Note: I live in Warren, Michigan. Just southwest of Detroit. It was about 35 degrees outside at the time. I left the house at about 7:30 wearing only shorts and flip-flops cause I didn't expect to be outside that long. I had a coat though.) I ended up standing outside for about an hour waitinbg to get a voucher that gaunteed me a Wii when the store opened. You can imagine what that was like in the clothes I was wearing. But man was it worth it!!!! Just in time for Brawl. Talk about waiting to the last second. I really didn't need a Wii before Brawl because my buddy had one and he would let me borrow it whenever a game came out that I wanted to play. I'd just rent it. MP3, SPM, SMG, etc. But since Brawl is online, and the fact I've been waiting for the game for almost a year and a half, I had to get a Wii. Not that I didn't want one before, it's now I needed one.

Well thats my story. I'm so happy about my new Wii and the luck I had in finding one, that I thought I'd share it with you.

Congrats! The Wii is a fun console, so you should enjoy yourself quite a bit. And yeah, perfect timing! Brawl is less than a week away!thebisonx

I feel bad for you, all that work and cold for a console that you will end up selling after a month

Trust me, I couldn't stand my Wii after a while, just buy a PS3 or 360 you will keep it for a lot longer

All in all, just saying that sucks for you

Oh and congrats TC. Just in time I suppose for you know what. lol

Want to know how I got mine??Kinda funny story

I been looking for a Wii for a LONG time, oviusly not lucky at all. So I quit and I stopped looking for a while until I got to the store to buy a Ps3 game. So I walk inside buy my game and as I leave the store, LUCKILY my cousin asks " Ya have any Wii's" and they said yeah so I got so happy so I ran off to my house got the $ and came back to the store!! When I got there I asked for the Wii and they got ready to put it in the bag and everything! Until some girl comes to the store saying " Ya still have the Wii". Thing is she "reserved" it like 5 days ago telling them to wait till she comes but the store owner lost hope in her coming!! So there was a crazy debate and confusion for a while to who will get the LAST Wii!! Then my father that was in a car comes to the store(big guy) and the store owner kinda go a lil shook and gave it to me!! =D Lol

I got mine at launch. I forgot to preorder but I got a tip about THE nintendo store. They had about 3000 at launch. I went there and waited online talking to British people (this is america btw) for 5 hours in like 20 degree weather. I got my wii and zelda AT LAST! Then I met up with my dad (who saw 2 movies that day) and we walked around for an hour looking for the car. we thought it got stolen.

and yeah I was NOT going to make that mistake again so I preordered brawl back in august when I got MP3. Since then I've preordered every game I wanted ._. (except ones I'm not sure about like UC. I needed some reviews on that one. NMH too. I was a big skeptic. Ended up being on of my favorite single player campaigns ever).

anyway I'm picking up my brawl on sunday (no midnight though. I can't get a ride)

they removed my favorite character, Roy, ROY IS SUPERIOR TO MARTH! Metaknight looks promising though

btw I'm pro so expect defeat online

Nice, congrats.
There was actually a line at your Circuit City outside just for Wii's? Wow - Now I know they still sell like hotcakes the moment new shipments come in for stores, but I'm just surprised that there are still people camping out for them after over a year-and something months.

Enjoy your new Wii... And most importantly, enjoy Brawl this weekend!:D

I dont know whats better.

Getting a Wii right at launch,

Before X-mas

For your birthday

or before brawl :P

*SSBB announcers voice*

CONGRADULATIONS!

Thanks to all of your congrats messages. I'm still a bit stoked about getting my Wii under the circumstances I was given. Man that was the coldest morning of my life. Shorts, flip flops, a T-shirt, and light jacket. All in about 30 to 35 degree weather. My feet got so cold eventually that I took off my coat and put it over my feet to shield them from the blistering Michigan winds. Some lady offered me a blanket to wrap around my top half because my coat was on my feet. But hey, I got a Wii. Thats the brightside of the story. If I didn't end up finding one that morning, I was gonna have to result to buying the $475 bundle on Gamestop.com. I was determined to get a Wii before Brawl's release at all costs. I'm happy I didn't have to pay that much. I had $500 so that bubdle would have killed my wallet. I ended up buying Rockband the same day with the money left over. It was truly a wonderful day.

Well, thanks again everyone for the friendly congratulations. I look forward to Brawling with all of you. See you on the field of battle. MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(manaical tone of laughing)

When I camped out for my Wii it was negetive 18 degrees out, try withstanding that for 18 hrs in the middle of NovemerWiiMan21

I'm sure you were bundled up though and not wearing flip flops and shorts.
