It seems everyone & their grandmother got a Wii this holiday season. People that dont even really like video games even. Which is great & all, but I cant help but wonder what this means for the console.

It def seems the coolness factor has worn off & everyone else is now jumping on the bandwagon. Usually when that happens, nomatter what it is, I'm always a little concerned because it usually means that things are on the downturn.

My friend who is over 300 pounds got his hands on a WII Fit. I was busy all day and now they are sold out all over the friggin place.

So you guys are correct. They are only sold to preorder people. I checked out EB Games, Future shock, Costco, Walmart, Superstore, Best Buy and Safeway. Oh and HMV Music.

I didn't preorder and I have Wii Fit.

So yeah.....there's that....and all

Right & I bet you picked it up early yesterday. I guarentee you couldnt find one today in stores to save your life.

Huh, now it's how long can you wait?

Not all the Wii Fit copies went to preorders. I got mine first thing in the morning but many stores had them until late afternoon before it started to get scarce nationwide. There were 2 main shopping rushes, first thing in the morning and then around lunchtime.

I was out at lunchtime also and stopped by the store that I bought it at then stopped by another and they still had a few in stock.

So in conclusion: THe idea that only that preordered got Wii Fit is wrong, it's not an opinion, it's just an incorrect statement.

Obviously the guy meant the only people able to get them as of NOW are the ones who preordered, because he said "I was busy all day and now they are sold out all over the friggin place". We all know they were available to first commers too. Its common knowledge from the posts here as many of us (including me) just walked in a store & bought one off the shelf.

I went to 4 different Wal-Marts this morning at 4am & they were all sold out except for the last one I went to (they had 3 left). I was surprised it sold out so quickly. I wanted to pick it up at launch because I didnt wanna have to stalk a bunch of stores later on, wondering when their shipments will come in. Thats always sucks.

Im sorry Waluigi fans, but he sucks. He's just so generic, lacks any kind of personality, etc. Even his name is generic. Wa-Luigi?? Is that seriously the best they could do?? Its not even pleasant to say & doesnt exactly roll off the tongue either. I guess since Wario came first, they tried the same exact formula on Waluigi & it was epic failure.

Mario = Cool

Luigi = Cool

Wario = Funny alter ego of cool Mario

Waluigi = Generic wannabe poser that should have never been born

If my wife overreacted that easily, I'd divorce her.

OK, thanks to both of you. At least I know now.

You can tell they havent been doing online games long. Nintendo REALLY needs to reconsider the terminology they use. Its a bit confusing.

Add my friend code to your list right now while we're both online. I have added like 7 people already over the last week & they all still say "Awaiting Registration", even though they've added me too. Am I missing something or is my game screwed up??

Anyways, here is my info. Lemme know if you add me & please stay online so we can test:

Code: 4983-5282-9949

Name: Kerry

BTW, I play with Kirby & am pretty decent, so if anyone wants to keep me in their list, that'll be cool. Thanks!
