Gonna play the waiting game... again

ReRuss · Post by **ReRuss** » Thu Nov 02, 2006 11:04 pm

Nov 18th I'm gonna sit in line at my local wal-mart for a Wii , last year I waited in line on 360 , but I didn't open my 360 for like a week...

I'm making sure Nov 18th , 19th , and 20th are completely free since I plan to actually open my Wii once I get home , the only thing that's gonna suck is waiting in line for hours , when I waited on 360 I had nothing to do , this time I think I'll take my DS and PSP , I'll play my DS till it dies , then have a friend save my spot while I got hook it up to my car to charge , then play my PSP , when it dies I'll grab my DS again

hopefully I can talk a friend or two into goin then atleast I can have a conversation , maybe even play some game that doesn't require batteries...

Since my 360 is dead and I have to send it in , I can't waste a couple weeks screwin around on Dead Rising (the only game I didn't completely beat when I had a few weeks off)

have you nothing better to do with your weekend than sit outside a children's toy store wasting time waiting in line like a total nerd? just wait 1 week and walk in like a normal person and buy one like everyone else does.

But... but... There are only going to be 4 million systems available in the US, and that's only by Christmas! Are you sure they will have anything in stock for the first few weeks after release day?

No, seriously, I couldn't give a rat's ass about camping out on release day, but I'll be happy and/or bored enough to read your post about it later. (Truth-o-scope translation: The precious social filter of the Internet is more important to me than having a video game system on release day. Feel free to use the internets to tell me about your exciting outing into Meatspace.™)

The worst part is hearing the stories about this. It is almost like what they do for cheezy toys like those tickle me Elmos, except they act like it is the running of the bulls. Seriously, it's too easy to be a loser here.

I'll get me one. I won't be camping though. I'll just go whenever I got free time and hopefully they'll have one.

couldn't be any less of a bore than the 360 line , I got a friend who's gonna hang out with me and I'm bringin my psp and ds

I didn't even take my 360 outta the box for like a week after I got it... and in the year I had it , it's been sent in twice now , just sent off 2 days ago... what a waste of cash , I coulda just upgraded my PC and play Oblivion , PDZ , Saints Row , and Dead Rising don't justify any value of waiting and cost (even tho I got my 360 for $317 + 9% tax)
