ArchEnemy Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 we got a gamestop finally coming to town. it opens tomorrow, asked if they will have any wii and they said no not till sunday, so maybe other towns stores will have them also. just an fyi for those still looking.I received inside information that the EB stores around Reading, PA will be posting quantity they have as they close on Saturday. I guess they figure that doing that should reduce any crowds or problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rimshot Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Hold off before getting that 4th controller! The latter part of January Nintendo is releasing a new game - kind of like the bundled Sports and with it comes a remote for $49.00 Great deal and looks like some fun games on it. I know Duck Hunt is one of the games on the disk which will be a big hit in this house (and released just in time for youngest DD birthday too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSoldevila Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Heads up for those of you camping out at Target. A friend who works at a Target in the electronics dept said to me that they did not receive Wii's during the week and the only shipment they received today had 10 units. Yes there is already a line of over 100 people camping out since this afternoon at her store in California. She is not looking forward to working the morning shift on Sunday.
