Sunday, December 03, 2006 The quest has been completed:  Wiiiiiiii! I have to say though, I can completely understand how people have been tossing their remotes across the room and breaking things. It's very easy to really get "into it" playing Wii Sports, and the remote itself is a bit small, light and slippery if you have sweaty palms of excitement. I got up at 4:30am (couldn't sleep, gee, I wonder why?) and logged onto the 'net to check out the Amazon boards to see if people were having success (nice to be on the west coast) and it seemed most Targets looked good, so I checked and yes, the Target ad was up and it has Wii in it! So I figured that, along with the fact an employee had told me they'd have them Sunday early last week, made a safe bet. I debated if I should rush right out or not, didn't really wanna get there too early, decided to wait till 5am-ish, did a drive by of my "usual" Target, looked like about 5 people in line there but I wasn't "sure" of that one, so I went to the other, bigger (safer neighborhood) Target and there were about 10 people there, almost all mom-types. Plus a security guard. OK good. AND they had benches to sit on woot! Got there about 5:30am, they handed out tickets about 7:30am (they had about 50, I was #11) and we all went into the store in an orderly line back to Electronics and bought our Wiis, games, accessories, etc. They even had remotes in stock, I didn't get any though cuz I know they're hard to find (they had no classics either which is the only one I'll "need") and I don't really need extras right now as I have no friends. Haha. Most games it seems you CAN play using one remote tho at least Wii Sports. So a happy "camper" am I and I'm glad I dragged my butt outta bed, I was seriously thinking of not bothering cuz I didn't wanna be disappointed again. I did have a bit of trouble setting up the internet though, it was like my DS I had to do it "stupid" first then I can "secure" it after. (IOW I had to turn on SSID and turn off MAC address filtering till it "found" the connection.) I also noticed I have FOUR neighbors now with WiFi not just one now haha. No wonder it was confused it couldn't decide who it wanted to play with. Oh, and it seems my Wii updated the firmware OK without bricking. Whew!
