Wii/PS3?!?!, Do you have one yet? Options

[Canis Minor]

As from both launches from the very few consoles, did you get one yet? I got a Wii over here. What was your experience like getting it?

(Remember, keep this topic spam-free.)

I won't be buying any of them.

I don't have the time to play them anymore, therefore I'll be keeping my money for stuff that might be used.

Its not fully that the Playstation 3 stinks, its that its expensive. I shall own one in the next few months considering I use it as my DVD play it has great games or eventually will. Along with that, the WII is very cool technology and fairly cheap.

I probably won't be getting either one in the next while, but I want the Wii, because it's unique and I can play old games on it.

whats a Wii?

[rlindsey]

It's the latest Nitendo platform. And I won't be getting either for a long time if at all either.

I work for a major retailer, and I can honestly tell you that the launch for the PS3 was a spectacle I would prefer NOT to experience again! People started camping outside the store a week before the release date, and it was a big mess. We had to request police presence for the entire week, because of disruptions in the lot. People standing around where cars drive through, kids' on skateboards, pushing and shoving in the line. We even had to toss a few people because they thought they could set up camp inside the store.

The store was only expecting ten consoles, but we only received 8 of them. We did write rainchecks, and posted a notice about it everywhere throughout the store, BUT, it didn't stop the line from building up to over 300 people. We were lucky though. There were no stabbings, no one was robbed, and nobody got shot, like in other places that I read about in the news.

As for the release of the Wii, it went alot smoother, and even though we had more people in line for it, it was pretty much incident-free. We also had alot more consoles on hand.

Now, we have alot more people coming in asking for the Wii, and very, very few asking for the PS3. I think that pretty much speaks for itself. IMO (IMG:style_emoticons/default/banana_rollseyes.gif)

Yep,
The Wii is
Vilonce Free!
PS3 Fans are teens wanting to play GTA: Blow up the town and shoot and kill and rape and... well you get the point
Wii Fans are Kids/teens/Families who are wanting to play sports indoors (i.e. Johny! Don't play ball in the house!)
who are wanting the most fun and orignal games to come
(PS3 and XBOX 360: Blah 4, Halo 3, Tekken 6, GTA 7, Kittypoo 2(?))
that's my 2 cents
