and from what I've seen in stores, the HD-DVD library is getting big. And so many of the good old movies like Goodfellas are out on it. And for $200, I just know it will sell out and be hard to come by this holiday season. That's why I want to get on that preorder asap.

Just got confirmation from EBgames and Gamestop. $50 holds you a Wii. I'm getting up at 7:30 to be there. I think some people are feeling the sting from the PS3 preorder and will come out in more force tomorrow for Wii.

I wouldn't be surprised. Though their supply will much bigger than PS3's, they're still gonna sell out on day 1 and have a whole lot of mom's and pop's looking to get one for their kids in the weeks right before Christmas.

In response to Reply # 25


  

          

If anything, Sony ought to be scared stiff. Because they won't be able to afford a drop in the price of the PS3 for at least 3 years because they will be held waiting for the Blu-Ray mass adoption. On the other side, Microsoft knows they'll be able to drop the price of the 360 pretty soon. Spells a lot of trouble for Sony all around as the Wii could really snatch up the Japanese market from them which was Sony's biggest advantage over Microsoft. All I can say is that it's a pretty good damn time to be a gamer.

personally i dont see this lasting after the launch date, with production being the way it is, and those who are bidding are probably uninformed or just plain dumbasses

41. "pre-ordering games?"
In response to Reply # 0


          

i placed a pre-order for the wii and the guy behind the counter was trying to get me to pre-order zelda too, saying they might sell out. is that even a remote possibility? i didn't bother pre-ordering it because i don't ever remember launch titles being sold out for any system. what do you think?

Gamestop may sell out, but you could easily go to Walmart or Target and cop.
