I'm sad...

What happened?
Well, last Christmas I didn't get a Wii...
We checked some times and none are in stock.
So... yeah. I'm just really sad.
I plan to check on Monday though, when they refill in stock.
But honestly, the clerk said they get 20 per week, when its coming up for the holidays? And things like this are on demand? :l

Just call all the stores in your area (3 or 4 would probably be good) every now and then (maybe once or twice a week) to find out when they'll be getting them in.
Well, the Wii is THE gift to give once again this year... so not good for people in your situation. Shoulda just gone on launch day.
I was only gone a bit over 3 hours on launch day... with the last 30-40 mins. inside the sote... and it was actually fun.
Or get a Wii, since it seems that's what you want and it's $100 bucks less... and you don't have to pay to play online.
An Xbox 360 Arcade console is only 30 bucks more than a Wii, and it still has more memory. Not to mention it has a better library and a free copy of the best selling game of the year.DarthGohan1 said:
True it costs 50 bucks for 12 months, but that's less then a dollar a week, I'm sure that's affordable for most people. AND, the online experience is thousands times better. In fact, I think comparing the two is utterly stupid. If you do get a 360, do pay the extra 20 bucks for a headset, unless you have your own.
It's only better for some people. I've had my Wii for 2 days short of a year, and I haven't even used half the memory on it... save data for games takes up practically no space.
And, 50 bucks for 12 months may be less than a dollar a week, but would you rather pay the 50 bucks for online service, or have a new game for 50 bucks? That choice is easy for me - I'd take the game with an online service not as expansive as Live, but still works fine.
As for better library, 360 does not have Galaxy, nor Prime 3, nor Twilight Princess, nor will it have Brawl, and a bunch of other stuff. Yeah, a Wii owner misses out on Gears and some other stuff, but like I said before, it all depends on what people enjoy playing.
Also, JJ... you can;t say the Wii is not in demand... it has sold more units than the 360 (which you consider in demand), in half the time.

Wii doesn't offer much download content, does it? Even with a silver (free) XBL account you get access to XBL Arcade and the XBL Marketplace, which has a ton of content from game demos to full-length movies.
Fact: Online play will prolong the time you spend on a game. 50 bucks for online play for a year will give you many more hours of enjoyment than simply another title.
Listing some good games that the 360 doesn't have is really no argument, but I can do that....
Gears of War
Forza Motorsport 2 (if you buy a 360 Premium you get this game and some Spiderman title, did I mention that, too? The premium package will also get you a HD, a headset, and if you buy at Toys R Us, 50% off another game)
Halo 3
Eternal Sonata (For you RPG people - not me)
CoD 4
The Orange Box
Assassin's Creed
Beautiful Katamari (Can't wait)
Crackdown
Resident Evil 5
Halo Wars
Just to name a few current and upcoming good games NOT coming to the Wii.
I know you took Economics, units sold doesn't show to what degree it is in demand.
All I can say is, next week I plan to try and get a 360 premium at Toys R Us, and for 400 dollars I'll get:
Xbox 360
20 gig HD
Wireless controller
Headset
12 months of the best online multiplayer console service
50% off another game
Free Halo 3
Free Forza Motorsport 2
Free Marvel Ultimate Alliance
What is that, a 560 dollar value?
