Thursday, November 30, 2006 Well it's been a week and a half and I still have yet to complete the Quest for a Wii ::sigh:: Last Friday (Black Friday) I bought a PS2 cuz I was so annoyed at the lack of Wii for normal people (haha me normal?) so I've been playing that (Final Fantasy X woot! I got that game in the bargain bin what, 2-3 years ago cuz I knew I'd be buying a PS2 soon.) It's quite lovely and small, smaller in fact than the Wii I think! And shiny! Well not really shiny, just kinda sheeny shiny silver. And it plays DVDs! In fact the built in DVD player is better than my (old, cheap) standalone DVD player! So, I'm not hurting so bad now for a Wii, I returned my Wii games to Amazon cuz well, I don't have any use for 'em and I know game prices usually drop pretty quick. Plus games are in abundance, so I'll have no trouble nabbing the same ones again if I do somehow miraculously snag a Wii. But for now, the hunt is off, if I see one while shopping at Target or Walmart I'll nab one, but I'm not gonna call, camp, visit, etc to get one. I even heard Target and a few other stores are gonna have 'em this Sunday again ... but I'm really not even tempted to get there early, cuz I have a feeling they'll only have a few and the lines will be longer than launch cuz it seems demand is higher now than it was then. Oh well, in a way it's better, the PS2 is way cheaper, the games are way cheaper (got a fishing game for less than $4 and Dragon Quest VIII for less than $20) and the graphics are gorgeous (this is coming from someone with a dopey old "standard" TV and who hasn't bought a console since the PSOne.) Maybe I'll just make it a habit of buying late, I got a Playstation around the time the PS2 came out 5-6 years ago (man has it been that long?) I just got my PS2 when the PS3 came out, I bought a NES when the N64 came out (I already had a SNES though.) Never had a Gamecube, Xbox, Xbox360, Dreamcast, etc. So maybe Wii will wait for my birthday, by then the "hot" games today might be sellin' for $29.99 instead of $49.99, there will be more good ones out (Final Fantasy!) and maybe they'll have new colors too! Or a DVD drive! Haha like I need another one of THOSE. I do have to say though I'm quite angry at how the retailers have been handling the Wii release though, especially the online retailers who have completely and totally botched the whole thing. And I've also become aware that B&M stores are hoarding Wiis too so they can make people camp for "sales" only to find out they only have 3 or so units in stock, WTF is up with that? Seems the only ones getting anything outta this whole Wii thing are the Ebayers and the campers. The rest of us have only found frustration. I have better things to do with my time than camp in line for a game console ... like play games! Hehe. Or gee, uhm ... work or something. Yeah.
