    so many idiot in this world who don't have anything to do with their money but to bid on highly overpriced console

    why can't they just wait a few weeks, until the stores get more console?

    i believe this one took the cake.

    http://www.consumerist.com/consumer/...ps3-215593.php
    The understocked PS3 has become the Paris Hilton of the gaming world. Demand is so fever-pitched that several opening day sales have resulted in violence and political defamation.
    I don't understand the Paris Hilton reference. Nobody likes Paris Hilton...

    Also, 2 of my friends waited in line for 36 hours to get the PS3. Once they, and several others, got to the front, the store had run out of the 60 gig hard drives, and they were forced to buy the smaller ones. I don't know whether to sympathize with them, or just laugh.

    <@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs

    Lauging should suffice.

    My friend and I looked at bids Friday night for PS3 on ebay. The highest one went up to $6000. Supposedly someone had on auto-bid, so a guy kept on bumping it up so the auto-bidder's account would keep placing. It ended at $6000, but I want to know what his limit was.

    Like Winged Dancer said a few pages back...

    Those are pure kids that are envious and are boicoting (sp?) or posting fake auctions.

    Nboys of Xboys

    Whatever. One should be stupid to fall for one of those frauds.

    Ugh......took a little longer than I expected.

    They started handing out wiis at midnight.....but it took until 5 am to give them all (i think 1000) out since they only had like 4 registers.

    The Wii is sweeeeeeeet!

    Funny story, too...
    We almost got arrested in our way to the store! I was carrying about 500 dollars for the Wii and the games, my brother was driving and he got a little too excited... and pushed about 100 Mph just as a police car was entering the highway.
    They told us to stop, my brother tried to run, we were finally forced to stop (just in front of the store...) and I didn't want to use the money to bribe the cops to leave us alone (sad, sad thing is, that's normal in this city), so we argued for a while....

    Policeman: Any reason for speeding like that, young man?
    Brother: Ah-hah-hah... I just need to go buy some things, officer!
    Policeman: Medicines? Anyone sick?
    Brother: I don't have to tell you.
    Me: WTF??!!
    Policeman: (looks at the car) ....that your lady friend?
    Brother: My sister.
    Me: Eh... tee-heeh! Sooorry about that! ......eh, yeah.

    Once my brother decided to stop being an idiot they just fined us. Or maybe the policemen liked my skirt. Whichever works.

    Then we got the Wii, and a pair of Legend of Zelda t-shirts that will be my new pajamas as soon as it warms up.

    Regarding the Wii, it's sweet. My brother, a friend and I played Wii sports until our arms hurt, then Excite Truck (too fast for me, I suck) and then Zelda. Which is good, though (as some reviews have pointed out) a little slow at the beginning - not that I care.

    And not that I have played much. My brother and his friends just took over the TV room, so it'll be until tomorrow...

    did you try connecting to the internet yet? I keep getting an error that, according to the site, implies that I should wait until after launch day and try again o.O

    We gotta set up wii networks so our mii characters can mingle!

    Yeah, I tried connecting it and it failed, but I assumed it was because of my SUCKY internet connection, since I can't connect my DS either... which is a shame, since I really wanted to go vandalize someone's Animal Crossing towns.

    Well, let's hope they update their site soon...

    so before i rush to the store in 2 weeks for the wii, can someone tell me if the Wii can acces internet by the USB wifi connector (for DS) or do i really need a wireless router (i don't really want one since i only got 1 computer)
    that is, if you are able to even acces the internet with the Wii oO

    well......from what I understand the usb dongle acts as a wireless access point, which means it SHOULD be able to communicate with any wireless device. Also, there's a dongle for the wii for just the same situation that you have....are both dongles the same and just labeled different? Can't really say....

    Supposedly there's a way to allow your wii to be connected on a wired network (as opposed to wireless) as well, but I'm sure that's another accessory.
