Wii out of stock...?

Can someone click this link and tell me if Toys R Us is out of Wii consoles?

I check the link and I see "Add item(s) to cart."

My wife clicks the link and sees "Temporarily not available online."

What do you see?
 
Roger that.

Well, that was strange. :confused:
 
don't you already have one?
Yes, I do.

Tek probably lost his HDTV to a wiimote and has to order a new system just to get a new controller.
That statement is incorrect for three reasons:
  1. I can't afford a HDTV.
  2. There's not enough room in our apartment for a HDTV.
  3. I actually use the wrist strap, so I have yet to damage any objects in the apartment with a Wii Remote.
Back on topic...

When I first pulled up the Toys R Us item page and saw the "Add item(s) to cart" button, I clicked it--just in case someone I know might want to buy a Wii. About 15 to 20 minutes after the item was marked as "Temporarily not available online," I was still able to purchase a Wii on behalf of my best friend (known on the forums as Elihu).

Good times, good times.
 
I picked one up last Sunday at a best buy, every Sunday they seem to get a decent sized stock in. I actually went in around two in the afternoon and they had a few dozen on the shelf. Though that's the first time I had ever seen one for sale that wasn't used since launch.
 
I got one at wal-mart last night. It's fun! I've not had this much fun playing video games in a few years
 
Id rather make my own games...orbit the newb pestering you for money, make your own weapon and test it on a friend, see if you can reverse engineer what someone else did. Hence my current game.

Kidan! Send me your Wii code over PM and I'll reply with mine. :D

I don't have the network adapter yet - so I'm still offline. And until/unless I get a game that has those capabilities, I probably won't get one...

... heck, I still need to make a Mii...
 
The wii had a wireless connection iirc, atleast my roommates did as he always begged for my wep and essid.

doh!! you're right - I must've misread the books when I was setting it up, because I thought I had to purchase the wireless adapter separately...

Who knows, I think my roommate was planning on buying an eth adapter but I told him I had a wireless network. I should've kept quiet because then I was serving up 3-5 different connections at any time...

I don't really care about consoles. They cost more money to use and get outdated and worthless within 5 years.
 
I second that.

Consoles FTL.

They do make fun games for them though. :( Why no Chrono Trigger for PC?! WhY???

and THAT is why I bought a Wii. Frankly, as games become more and more online-oriented, they've become less and less fun for me. *shrugs* And with the rest of the gen-7 consoles, the new "features" are just higher polygons and prettier graphics.

Whoop-de-doo. I still remember when you had to squint and imagine that the duck-looking icon chasing your avatar was a dragon.


....am I really as old as that made me sound??? :(

Let me know when you're set up, sir. I can send you my and my wife's Mii characters.
