But that didn't stop my friend. In fact he went out of his way paying $410 on ebay to buy a Nintendo Wii. He's been doing well with his business, so he felt that spending the extra was something to avoid the entire line waiting in the cold and finally and having something just in his hands. Although when I check ebay, I keep seeing shaddy, and hidden fine print Wii selling around $500 and $400.
Uh, I just don't know if I'm that kind of a guy to do that? My friend is considerably happy paying more for a nintendo Wii. I'm just afraid of getting an empty box and a guy with 400 bucks. I'm going to patiend and wait this out..... groan, this is such a painful wait. Still I do play a lot of Guitar Hero, Legened of Zelda the Minish Cap, Metal Gear 3's online gameplay, I got Yoshi's Island DS which I'm diging a lot (a bit flawed), and I am replaying Castlevania 1 while my girlfriend is loving Portrait of Ruin..... I think I've had a longer relationship with Medusa heads then I have had with my girlfriend.
But I've got more painting jobs this year. Hopefully I'll get more money through these jobs, and for now I'll spend my cash on gifts AND THEN, i'll get a wii........ for now I'll keep this single controler and just think about the potentional of a Wii.
I can't help but think after 20 years, this is the oddest evolution I couldn't have imagined. Although I do recall back in 1988, I did imagine of VR goggles, enclosed track floor, motion captured rooms, and you had to jump kick as He-Man himself. HE-MAN the VR POD avaliable in Disney World!
