BEHOLD ! The Wii60 !
Well…..I did it ! This morning I gave into the pressure and purchased a Nintendo Wii to keep my X360 company….
I woke up at 4am and went to BB where I found at least 300 people in line to buy portable DVD players for $29.99 or memory cards for $20 or a crappy LCd for under $500…Needless to say I didn’t stick around….I kept on driving and went to the gamestop inside pentagon city mall….I got there at 5:05am and there was already a line formed. The “leader” said “there is only 9 systems in store” and I was #4 in line. So I waited and when the line started to grow…we were up to 9 by 5:30am. I proposed that we start a “offical list”. We started the list and it grew to 15 by 6am…..The manager let us all in 1hr early (that gamestop wasn’t supposed to open until 7am). But, I got my Wii ,Zelda ,extra controller and Nunchuck !
Karina loves it ….we’ve played baseball ,bowled and golfed(her favorite game so far). It’s true what they say after playing this system for a few minutes …you forget about the graphics (though I still want a component cable…when they become readily available—they are going for $100 on ebay).
PS===I hooked my wii up to the net ..but apparently the weather and news channel are functioning yet. Is that correct ?
