do you want a cookie?

maybe you should use that money for english lessons instead of a ps3?

 

[Aftermath]

I was at EBGames this morning picking up the collectors edition of Prey (for $20), and in the time I was standing there in the checkout lane buying my game the cashier got three calls asking for Wii's. They were sold out.

Why would I want to waste my time learning anymore of your pathetic culture, language than I have too? I can use my limited knowledge and English skills to milk all you ignorant lazy Americans for all I can. Think about it. You all have all the freedom and power in the world and what do you chose to use it for? Blowing billions of dollars a year on games and even more on other crap. Someday the world will look back at these times and shake their heads at the pathetic world you've created...

IamDavid thank you for that

Every Walmart around us has had at least 2 in stock. Within 50 miles I think we have 6. I live in N.W. Arkansas.. Maybe that is why. Arkansas has to be the most backwards place in North America. People around here just started getting cable. The store here in my town receive 6 Wii's for last Sunday. I've bought 5 and they still have 1. I felt kinda bad about buying all of them so I left the one which is still sitting on the shelf.

That's why they are not hard to find.

And that's why there are no more in-stock because of people doing this.

I just got mine last week, and I had to camp out the whole night...they aren't readily available everywhere.

What you said about America is false imho. Yes, we do spends Billions of dollars on games and our own entertainment, but the reason is because we can. Basic economics say that if you have money you will spend it. We just happen to spend our money on a gaming hobby as it appears you do too since you are in this forum.

Yeah . I'm not a fanboy or anything as PS2 has some of the best games but PS3 is the biggest waste of money I ever seen(at least right now). By the time it's worth owning you could pick it up for $300. I would put the money toward something more useful.

You just live in a small town or something because I do and I've only seen one Wii since Launch and saw it through a bag being carried out the door on launch night. I wasn't there for one though. I do look just for the heck of it everytime I go into a store. But right now I ain't looking to buy one.

I have a PS3, and it's extremely enjoyable (even with just Resistance). I'd say it's worth $600 to me, but I got it for free! But I was going to buy one anyways, until I won it.

I like the Wii, and I think it's great to use. It has a lot of nice features, but if the game lineup is anything like the GameCube, I'll be buying it when they're CHEAP and then playing the games I missed.

I don't know why the OP is so negative towards America...that's really silly.

I have bought 9 in the past 6 days and resold them on eBay and I know I could find at least that many more. Don't get me wrong, I like the Wii but they aren't that special. And the game releases for the next year don't look that impressive. I'm hoping to sell enough Wii's and make enough profit to buy me a PS3.. Almost their now..

I call BS. They're all sold out here, and i have been looking for one actively for a friend.

Lets see your ebay sales if you've sold 9 in the past 6 days.

apparently he doesn't know that the US isn't the only country where english is the primary language.

 

[Bateluer]

Eventually, I will buy a Wii, but I'm not going to drive all over town to find one. Phoenix AZ is a good sized town, and I'm sure I could find one if I really wanted to hunt for one. But, I'm not going to drive to multiple BBs, Walmarts, etc to find one.

Edit - I don't like your comments IamDavid. I respect most cultures. If I were to visit a foreign nation, you better be sure I'd take the time to at least gain a working knowledge of the language. And if American culture is so pathetic, as you put it, why does it dominate the globe?

 

[Dethfrumbelo]

Corporations and elites dominate. 'Culture' is irrelevant. Cattle are usually content with another day of food in the trough.

good for you, but I still can't find them in northern New Jersey.

 

[KeithTalent]

Wow OP you are suchs a hypocrite (go here for a definition). Saying Americans waste all of there time on games, yet you are saving up for a PS3? Go read a book or something.

Oh well, as long as you stay out of Canada

BTW there are still no Wiis around here either

[mooncancook]

PS3 >> Wii if you don't have friends

 

[beer]

You live In Arkansas and you don't have a high opinion of Americans? I'm shocked.
Why do you even live in Arkansas in the first place if it's so backwards? Why are you having to resort to ebay to make money to get a PS3 anyways? My guess is if you were on the right track you wouldn't need to be reselling anything on ebay, the return on investment of your time must be pretty pathetic...

 

[AbAbber2k]

I was in Gamestop last week buying games for my Wii... asked the clerk about how the Wii was selling... same old "we're out of stock a couple hours after opening" answer.
