Anybody receive any confirmation on when Wii software will start showing up in most stores? I've noticed Best Buy has the launch games listed to be released on 11/15 on their website.

Re: The Official Wii & PS3 Launch Discussion
Not sure, but I haven't thought to ask anybody in town. Best Buy has my Zelda (as of now) shipping out on the 15th.

Re: The Official Wii & PS3 Launch Discussion
Got a phone call tonight from my EB to confirm that I will be able to pick up my PS3 on Friday.Well, if you had your PS3 reserved at Gamestop/EB...you may want to find out if you are getting it, as Gamestop's not getting enough to cover.

Re: The Official Wii & PS3 Launch Discussion
You were the last person to get the premium though right? I gotta believe that the population in general is more hyped for the ps3 launch. When TRU in St Cloud had their 4 preorders for ps3, they had people lined up 23 hours early. I went about 9 hours early and discovered the 4 spots were long since filled. I got time on thursday and nothing better to do so I figure I'll play it safe and get there plenty early.
BTW I am probably going to the Cambridge walmart. Its a little nicer and quieter than St. Clouds Wallyworld. And I believe their letting us sit inside again so I'll just grab one of their fold out chairs and take a snooze.

Re: The Official Wii & PS3 Launch Discussion
Walmart is still releasing these two at midnight, correct? If thats the case, i'd say early to late morning may be a better time to get in line. BTW, I saw in their Sunday add that they would have a minimum of 10 per store. Anybody heard anything else?
One other question. I know its one per customer, but what if I take my GF's brother and I pay for his? Is this considered a seperate purchase or one because i'm paying for both? Probably something to ask a store manager beforehand, but figured i'd ask anyway...Comment

Re: The Official Wii & PS3 Launch Discussion
On the radio this morning, they were talking to a guy who's already camping at the Mentor, OH Best Buy. I drove by, sure enough, there he is... LOL I'm guessing by him being there, the line will quickly fill up before Thursday.Comment

Re: The Official Wii & PS3 Launch Discussion
1) Yes, but I'm not going to be caught dead in Wal-Mart for the PS3. I'm going to get to Wal-Mart around 6PM for the Wii launch. The ad you saw has been printed for awhile, when people thought the PS3 numbers were higher. WM is suppose to get at least 20 Wiis per store and 10 PS3s per store, but my local WM is only getting 5 so I guess even Wal-Mart didn't get the allocation they thought they were.Walmart is still releasing these two at midnight, correct?

2) I would think that you would only be allowed one per receipt. I would just give him the cash and have him pay for it himself.

Re: The Official Wii & PS3 Launch Discussion
Yeah that is right. I may join you at one of these stores with a couple of my buddies. Have you called to see how many each store is getting? If I find out I will post it on here.You were the last person to get the premium though right? I gotta believe that the population in general is more hyped for the ps3 launch.

Re: The Official Wii & PS3 Launch Discussion
I just bought Trauma Center today at Gamestop, so it appears that a few games are starting to show up for the Wii.

Re: The Official Wii & PS3 Launch Discussion
Yeah, I just want to secure a copy of Zelda. I'll probably be able to find one with minimal hassell Saturday, but if I can get it now and guarantee I'll have it for launch then I'll do it. I called two stores, Wal-Mart and Best Buy, and neither could even give me an answer. They were clueless.Comment
