Wii Pre-orders.
14 posts • Page 1 of 1
Wii Pre-orders.I got the word today, there is a 90% chance you can do your Wii pre-orders at gamestop this thursday, for 50$. The store was getting 8 PS3s, and they saiid to expect MUCH much more Wii's than that.
Hmm... Just because the Wii is released 2 days after the PS3 doesnt mean that the preorders will be 2 days after the PS3's... But if that is indeed the case i plan on camping the spawn point (i mean EB)... But i may hold off and see if Toys R Us is doing a deal like they did with the 360 release...
I didnt use logic for that, i talked to the manager :p
Dan hasn't said anything about Wii preorders yet, but it sounds like the store you go to is in the same boat as a lot of them around here in regards to the PS3.
*points and laughs at Ken-chan*
Apparently on Kotaku and Joystiq they are reporting that the Preorders will go on sale Friday (yes the 13th)... Oddly enough the final word will end up coming with less than 24 hours notice much like what happend with the PS3... So regardless we will have to keep our ears to the ground... And hopefully with Jamies help we can get a leg up on everyone ...
CONFIRMED.
I just got my email from gamestop that they will be taking Wii preorders Friday the 13th. 50 dollar deposit, cash, credit or trade. Doesn't guarantee one, standard disclaimer. They recommend calling first to avoid an unneeded trip. I know what I'm doing tomarrow morning.
Nice. I'm not sure if I'll preorder it, though. I may just pick one up shortly after launch day since it sounds like there will be plenty of Wiis available.
Dan confirmed it for me as well, but said that they're getting a limited supply, so get there EARLY if you want a reserve.
*sigh* once again i underestimated the gamer community of Phoenix... I missed out twice today... First store i was #42 but they only gave out 36 Wii-orders (i copyright that word )... I got there early but i just missed out... 2nd EB i went to (which was more obscure, ie "middle of nowhere") i just missed the last Wii-order by 3 mins... But i did get the chance to pre-order Red Steel and Zelda so all was not lost... Hopefully stores will get a few more in the coming weeks because apparently all EB/Gamestop stores got a limited supply of the rumored 50 per major store...
I got there 30 minutes before the store opened and got the 14th Wii-Order (C) of 15. Hehe.
I went to wait online and not many showed up till it opened then it was sold out in minutes.
PS3-#7 or #6 Wii-#1 or #2
