I've got a best buy and target directly adjacent to each other. Half a mile one way is a mall with a sears, circuit city, eb games, gamestop, and hollywood video. Half a mile the other way is a walmart. A mile away, another gamestop.

Definitely gonna be an assload of Wiis in my area.

It so happens the costco he works at is the one next to my house The only problem is the only places in my town that are going to be selling the Wii are those three stores

So the Costco bundle won't come with Wii Sports?

Wii Sports is put in the box at the factory. All Wii systems come with Wii Sports.

Yeah, Zelda and Excite are in addition to Wii Sports. Price will be $339.99

And this is how it should be. 210 as opposed to 8 of a system makes for happier consumers.

I really want this system but with Christmas just around the corner I feel bad buying another console when I should be buying gifts instead. But damn I want to play Zelda.

 

[pontifex]

jesus...

a wii, an extra controller (with nunchuck), and 2 games is like $400 already...unless i get a gamepad which will take like $50 off

controller + nunchuck = $70
gamepad = $20

I'm pretty sure you can't play Wii games with the retro controller.

I don't actually know who it is. I just read a post from him and he stated which costco he worked for. You can follow the thread if you like.
http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=113194

Cliffs are that there is a supposed memo that went out to all costco managers saying they would not be selling the wii on opening day. But it appears some stores will anyway.

I'm going to call tonight and see if I can find anything out. If all goes well i'll show up an hour early and get one.

Damn, I am in DC but was planning on hitting a few Costcos in MD. Maybe I'll hit VA instead.

 

[herkulease]

I wish it was just zelda and extra wiimote and nunchuk rather than zelda and excite truck.

hopefully costco will sell excite truck too so I can take it back for store credit. and get something else.

Alright, I'll let you know if I hear a store that has them... Do you think they'll tell if I call them?

Apparently police used pepper spray @ Tyson's Corner today to control the crowd... if it's going to be the same way, I may pass on the Wii
