If I needed it on the first day I wouldn't pre-order it to be sent by mail. The thing is that its launched on a day with no mail service whatsoever. I want it before Thanksgiving break dam you! (note the irony)


Yay! Rayman is pantsless again!....I mean no comment

EDIT:Gaargh, too big


DOUBLE EDIT:Yes...I am a fanboy, I am overjoyed to see the Wii in its boxes and the Twilight Princess disc and boxes being made. I almost fell over in awe.

Don't worry, if the Bison ever take over the midlands Godzilla will take care of them. Just like he did with Bambi.

Sometime in November, but I am waiting till after Xmas, prices tend to drop a bit the week of new years.

Neko got paid today, as she does every other week and the overtime she and I have been putting in has paid off, lots of money and that Allowed me to buy the Avatar game for PS2, its okay so far, no big issues but nothing grand, a nice solid game that might have some fun bending abilities.

If you're really expecting Wii console prices to drop soon, really think about. People always say that "The prices will drop right away" for a console, and usually it takes more then a year for them to be right.

Also argh, I reserved a Wii at FYE, was 7th person to do so and they said I probably won't get one next week. Maybe the other stores will have a surplus amount, I mean the DS didn't sell out right away and there are going to be alot of Wiis at launch.

Still this pisses me off.

Generally most stores have sales in the weeks after Xmas to get rid of stock for the upcomming year.

Not for consoles and not for any high rated games.

You would be surprised I managed to get games 1/2 off the price brand new because they were played then returned.

What games though? It takes couple of years for games like Zelda and stuff to go down, hell Halo the original one kept a 50 dollar price tag for over 2 years.

Also preowned doesn't count in this convo, since I'm a nerd and don't buy preowned...ever...if I can help it.

Its been a while, I don't think I can say for sure, but they can't sell open games at full price, and 10 dollars off for a new game that has only seen the light of day once isn't a bad deal.

If pre-owned doesn't count then there is no conversation.

I'm being sneaky, and asking my little sister to get Metroid Prime for me, since she usually doesn't spend much, and that'll be going for, like, £10. :^_^:

Some places can, Gamestop sometimes does, which annoys me to no end.

Hence why I don't buy from Gamestop, ever.

Not getting a classic controller? I'm picking one up with my bundle (which is incidentlly the same one). Apparently there's a £20 voucher for VC games in there too.

I also picked up Pokemon Dungeon Blue today.

Thing to remember, Alpha is that it won't get much cheaper over here.

Its not so much that we get ripped off easily its that we have no other choice.

At minimum, Gamestop does price their used games about 5 dollars less then new, which is pretty crappy but it's something. I only buy used if I can't find it new, or if the used disc looks to be in perfect condition and includes the manual.
