Wii Launch!

Wii Launch!

Postby apple head on Thu Dec 07, 2006 12:36 pm

Did anyone go?

I went, but I didn't buy anything, just me and a friend followed another friend who was actually buying one. We taped it, and when we finish cutting it we'll youtube it :) I was dissapointed in the lineup though. I saw all this crazy shit in the States and Japan figure if it's half as big it'll be hilarious. It did turn out hilarious, but not for the reasons Nintendo would have wanted.

At 10.30pm we were still wondering if the dates were right, as it was just us 3. By the time the media Arrived from the Sydney Morning Herald and IGN there were more people there not buying a Wii then people buying it. We outnumbered the Wii purchasers 4 to 3. By the time midnight came there was a crowd of around 30 people max. Who included staff, parents, security guards and idiots with Cameras :)

I find Wii sports super fun, but I reckon I would get over it in a month and it'll be another toy gathering the dust, like my dramcast and PSone before it :P so I don't think I'll end up buying one.

I'll probably go to the PS3 launch aswell!

I went to my local EB Games last night on launch and got my Wii! :)

First ever (and most probably last if I can help it) games console launch I went to. Not that they didn't organise it well but if I paid and pre-order something, I don't really expect to wait in line to "pick up" my order for more than an hour!

I got there a littlle bit past 10pm and I was already number 18. Got a Wii console, Wii Sports, Zelda, Wii Play bundle.

Lots of people at the one I went to, probably around 80 people, I was pretty sure 50 were actually customers since I saw them hand out 50 tickets for real purchases. The store manager told me they've got more than 110 pre-orders all up, which takes care of their whole initial first shipment and will get another 85 next. They ordered 80 copies of Zelda and 76 copies were all on pre-orders as well. 10 Super Monkey Balls were all sold, too.

Everyone including myself weren't really in the mood to party but just wanted to get our Wiis and get home and play them!! :)
