They have a ton of Wii's on hand but they aren't going to give them out until there precious sunday catalog comes in the mail Saturday afternoon. Pathetic.
They're creating hysterial over something that shouldn't hysterical. Nintendo is shipping I think something like a million and a half units by Christmas. This isn't Sony and lets get everyone crazy so people get killed business plan.
So now I've got to go to the little corner Game Stop on Friday morning wait in line at 3am to get 1 of the 5 Wii's that they'll have on sale. Pathetic. While Best Buy has somewhere between 100 of the little suckers. UGH!!!!!
Oh how narrow-minded Best Buy was there.
Couldn't you wait until Sunday or whenever Best Buy releases these Wii's and then buy it?
Yeah I probably could but by saying they aren't going to release the Wii's on the biggest shopping day of the year people will be camping out at the corner stores. And by saying not till sunday people will know not to get Wii's until sunday which means about 100 tents at the best buy store.
They are in a sense making this process hysterical when they don't have to.
The earliest I can get in line outside the door of the local Game Stop is 4am. I've got to work. If Best Buy had decided to sell the things on friday morning instead of sunday the campers that usually are at Best Buy will be at my corner store.
People could start fighting each other.

Best Buy is doing the same thing in Canada as well. unbelievable.
Oh boy, SD....into the hype of games...something that us girls would never understand.
i actually wouldnt mind getting my hands on a ps3 myself but i wouldnt want to fork over the big bucks for it.
secret santa, where are you?
Secret Santa doesn't believe that you've been good, kingy. But, for a small price (bless me 500 times), I will work my magic and "speak" with THE Santa! Kapish?! (//forums/richedit/smileys/Teasing/13.gif)
apparently the girls love the Wii. Its different and isn't nerdy gamer type of system. I'm not buying it for myself but for my sister and family. For example there's a tennis game you have to swing the remote like a tennis racket in order to hit the ball.
In baseball games in order to throw the ball you make a throwing motion. In order to hit it you make a swinging motion.
Its unbelievably cool.
lol I'm a Sony Playstation person but come on 600 dollars no way. Plus the games are 10 dollars more so that 60 bucks. Expensive.
Hmmm, that's weird. I have two store flyers and it says that it's available on November 19th both Walmart and London Drugs. Are you guys one week behind? I heard that it was nationwide on the 19th for the Nintendo Wii.
Yeah, I heard about that SD. Sounds cool, but games are never really my thing now because I just don't have the time. I do like a few like Mario classic, tetris and bubble bubble.
Yeah the Wii you can play old NES, SNES, Sega Gensis, games as well you download them or something. I'm not sure.
Well here in america we have a thing called "Black Friday" its the biggest shopping day of the year so to speak. You wouldn't believe the lines/cars/everything its just TOTALLY INSANE. If you run a store and can't get the place packed on 'black friday' you shouldn't be in business. Anything and everything is packed even the goodwill stores for crying out loud. lol
Tomorrow since nobody is going down to the farm for thanksgiving (we all hate each others guts) I'm going to go store to store and ask how many of these suckers are they going to have for friday. lol

500 blesses? can't i just give you some money when i leave your house tonight like i usually do? lol
Oh, how generous of you to offer money AND 500 blesses. So, how about we meet at the 3rd floor at VPL for old times sake. ;)
VPL whats that? Vancouver Public Library? Aka the coliseum? I love that building looks so cool
what section of the 3rd floor? the romance section? (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Love/20.gif)
Nope, the Literature section.
Yup, Vancouver Public Library.
Oooooh, can I come & watch, kingy?
I hate Best Buy too. Case sceanario: I bought the new Batman Return DVD. Got home to find the case defective. Nothing else was wrong with it apart from the case. I hadn't even open it. Went back to get another one but they were sold out. They phoned all the stores to find if they could get one for me but none in stock. They wouldn't give me a new case or provide raincheck. I was so pissed off that I walked off. I've never bought anything from Best Buy since then.
Rubbish place. All they care about is $$$.
cool thought so about it being the library. My funny doctor growing up said I'd find the good girls that were going places in the library. lol
Seattle's Library looks like a giant tool box that you put in the back of your truck.

I can never understand the buildings in Seattle. Don't they have this weird musical place or something like that?
Yeah thats the Experience Center which is part of the Seattle Center.

Perhaps I'm not viewing this in the right perspective, but that building looks like a bad plan gone wrong.
It was Paul Allen's idea, in fact its his building with his musical tastes. lol
Even though Frank Gehry's stuff can look like a big pile of mush, I still like it because of the funk factor. It's much more expressive than another plain ol' building.
I'm thinking he should stick to music.[img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/musik/e040.gif" border=0]
OK Im the minority here, lol. I like best buy, probably because I know a manager there so I get some decent deals.. hey that package looks open!
Your library and music centre in seattle look insane. Like someone didnt have lego to play with when they were a kid.
I'm merrily posting away in this thread, but I have NO idea what Best Buy is.
you should go on there website and see the inside futuristic man. lol
I'll be frequenting that place a lot I like Libraries. Of the millions of books they better have something on Canada other then travel guides lol. Or for that matter anything about anything other then America. If you go to a local book store you can't find anything on anything unless it has to do with america.
Best Buy is the Parent Company of Future Shop, PC. Think of Future Shop on roids.
Ahhh. That explains it. I don't shop at Future Shop either. (I don't think I've ever seen a Best Buy)
Eyes refuse to stay open. I'm off to do some pillow inspections.
Goodnight Russ and Sportsdude. [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/a194.gif" border=0]
G night all
price wise, best buy is pretty good. i would shop there over future shop anyday.
