Heh, some time ago I decided I wanted a Wii. In specific, I wanted darkfluffy to have a Wii and since we live together (that whole married thing), I wanted a Wii. So, I went to go find a Wii. My local Game Stop didn't have one, but they told me to keep checking every Thursday to see if one came in. Every Thursday and sometimes on Tuesdays, I would call them up and they would say "Sorry, we just sold out again, almost an hour this time." I also started wandering on into the store, just in case. They would joke and send me on my way.
Then, one day, on a Sunday of all times, four days after their shipment came in, I asked if they had Wii's.
"Yes."
I actually made him repeat it. He told me it was a strange thing, four days without selling a single one. They were all in the box but no one wanted one. So, I bought a Wii.
And it was good.
Eight hours later, as we had the thing spread out and playing our new favorite game (Raymen Raving Rabbid, damn funny game), my mother called.
"I know I didn't ask, but I saw they had Wii's in stock, so I bought you one."
...
When it rains, it pours. I thanked her very much for the lovely gift, didn't tell her I just bought one (she was so proud of herself and I didn't want to discourage that), and got my second Wii in less than 24 hours. Then I called up fightertype and told her "you just bought a Wii." "I did?" "Yep, and I'm delivering it in about an hour." Fightertype had been trying for three months to get a Wii, doing the exact same thing I was. (She didn't answer her cell when I called as I bought my own.)
Ever since thing, Game Stop has yet to have them in stock again. It was a fluke, but a happy fluke for me.
So, um, I love the Wii. I highly recommend the Ravin Rabbin's for a silly-like party game. Mario Smooth Movies is good, but Monkey Ball and the Sports game kind of suck.
I also love ToykoPop, but that might be shown by I have three bookcases worth of their books.
