Wii Camp Out – Dec 16th

Looks like some folks at a store in Salt Lake City* are hoping for a last chance at getting a Wii before Christmas. If you’re among the Wii-less, do you hope to get one this weekend? *where it’s less than 30ºF with a chance of 3-7″ of snow tonight! [Sent by marko at 8:15PM Eastern […]

  1. I should be getting mine this coming week. I ordered it through Walmart.com prior to Thanksgiving, but live in Japan. I still have not received it. The tracking info state that the max delivery date is Dec 21st. I wish it would hurry up. I have five games, no hardware.

  2. Aren't the authorities in Salt Lake City worried that people might die of exposure camping out in these conditions??

  3. this morning (12/17, 7:50ish) i arrived at circuit city only to find 18 people waiting for wiis. i got my wii on launch so i wasnt upset, i just needed a wiimote and a 'chuk. i asked around and about 10 of those 18 had been there since 10:30 the previous night. i then asked how many they had to turn away. i was told 50-60 people. amazing.

  4. And just so you know, there's about a foot of snow in SLC now. Crazy snow all last night continuing right now through the morning.

  5. If any body out there has a PS3,Getting a Wii is just plain Stupid!!! ANY Hogs that have a PS3 bought with Debt Cards should bein DEBT! HAHAHAHA>!!! sigh…Idiots.

  6. When I showed up for work at Target this morning at 5, I was honestly surprised to see a line of about 30 people (we had 15 systems). I had heard there were about 50 people in line by the time tickets were handed out. I guess people started getting there last night.I heard one guy arrived around 3am, and fell asleep in his car. When he woke up, there were already too many people in line so he missed out.I've gotta say it was much warmer than it was on launch day when I was camping out.

  7. you know what realy chaps my butt? Console bashing. All systems rock in their own way. Its like bashing Parker Brothers if you like Milton Bradley, etc. Play hard, have fun! Thats all that matters! If I had the funds right now, I would own all systems to experience all the awesome games out there.

  8. "If I had all the funds right now" AND all the time in the World, yes, I would be playing all four systems right now…Alas, I don't, so I have to bite the bullet and go with the one that offers the most fun…
