    Very close. A lot of auctions are ending between $370 and $400 with shipping included. That's just for the system. I'm looking to spend closer to $350. Since I'd be looking for Zelda, or an extra remote, I'm keeping an eye on those auctions with these items included.

    The prices aren't as ridiculous as I thought. I'm willing to spend $100 extra if it means the system will be delivered to my house unopened, rather than me fighting the masses to find it at a local retailer.

      Unfortunatly, I don't have that money. I'm planning to move out of the parents house to, so buying a new system should be the last thing on my mind. But this system seems so fresh. I'm actually considering selling my 360 to get a Wii.

        Dude don't do it. The GS I work at says by the end of next week-beginning of following week you will be able to walk in any store and pick one up. Take it for what it's worth but I refuse to pay the Ebay prices.

          Sully,

          Wait until the end of next week before you try getting a Wii. Unless you really want to spend the chedda on a system, next week most all of the chains are getting a new shipment of systems. EB/Gamestop are getting the brunt load of them, then Best Buy and Walmart are next on the list. I called some stores and found that to be the case.

          It's a fun system Sully.

          Again, Madden is cool, but the problem is the pre-snap on offense and defense is really tough to get down, but there is a thrill of throwing the ball. Afte the snap, it's easy to get it going.

          Then the other host of games are fun as can be.... Rayman, Monkey Nutz, Trauma Center....

              Good Choice

              I'lll be intersting to see how many they truly get in. The best buy near me in Cary NC said about 50 more by mid week. As for the local EBs, they were expecting any where from 5-15 units (depending on the size of the store).

                My fiancee's brother got one at launch and I must say that I love Wii Sports Bolwing and tennis emerged as my favorites and even my fiancee is addicted to it. Rayman is also cool in a quirky kind of way and Zelda of course is great....

                I also got a chance to play Sonic on the Virtual Console and it was like I was 13 years old all over again playing it on the Genesis....fast paced and exactly the same as I remember which is a great thing. I asked for one for Christmas now so I hope someone will listen and try to get it for me...

                I am a happy owner of the 360 and I was thinking about getting a PS3 since I've been a Sony guy in the past, but the Wii's fun points, virtual SNES, N64, and Genesis games are very appealing to a guy who loved the 90's games so I will get the Wii first and wait a little longer for the PS3.

                  I by no means tree hug any game company. I just don't see what Sony has right now that is different than what MS has. The Wii filled in that void of "it would be cool if i could throw the ball or swing the club" and the Wii looks like it will fill that void. I won't buy a PS3 until Sony shows me why I should spend 500-600 bucks for their their blue ray player that also plays games. I want a gaming machine first foremoest, not a high def DVD player. Until they show me the games that are worth 600 bucks.... VIVA LA Wii Wii!!! ... and the 360.

                      I agree, my boys at EB told me they are getting healthy weekly shipments from Nintendo.

                          I sold 6 controllers on Ebay Made around $60 profit.

                          I was nice though, I told all the mom's around me to go ahead and get their kids extra controllers because they will need it and that I was going to buy them all after they grabbed what they wanted

                            See, anyone reading my bitching about not have an extra controller would think i did not pre order it. AHA! i did indeed pre order it, along with the classic controller.

                            My stupid GS said they got no extra controllers 'period' when i picked up my wii last sunday, and havent received any controllers.

                            I think the 'not having the item but wanting the item' is what is getting to me. The harder you try without success, the more frustrated you get; and i refuse to pay those outrageous prices on ebay.

                              I was totally lucky I found them. Every store was sold out in my area of everything, but games. Then I have to go meet up with my family to eat and since I was early I stopped by Toys R' Us that was right by the restaraunt. They had everything in stock.

                              I wish you would have been as lucky as me... maybe you should call your local Toys R' Us to just check and see if they have any left.

                                Yeah, they are very scarce here too. I saw one WiiMote at Walmart the other night, but that was it. Yet to see any extra Nunchucks or Classic Controller. My GS only got in one extra each, WiiMote, Classic, and Nunchuck, all were reserved by me. No one in the store was very happy when I got them all
