robi2106's Journal: Wii-less No More

So I'm getting a Wii. Not directly, and not through the secondary speculative gaming market (aka eBay). a co-worker and his wife waited all night at a Best Buy a few weeks ago and bought two. One they sold to our boss who began each day with the phrase "Gotta get a Wii. Find me a Wii" until he got his Wii.

The other Wii was kept in the packaging, unopened until he decided what to do with it. Resale on eBay wasn't fetching much of a profit. $100 or so after you take out the eBay commission. So I offered to buy the Wii from him. Unfortunately for me, I'm broke. I earn just enough to pay the mortgage, food, bills, and health insurance premiums. And I just bought $3500 worth of a new floor (to replace all the carpet that has been ripped out due to my allergies). So I offered to buy the Wii on installments, just enough so he earns $5 which covers the interest he would have earned on the money had it been in his savings account.

Today, after the MPC Bowl game, which I am attending with TItle Sponsor MPC tent tickets (woooo free hot chocolate, coffee, beer, and food!). My employer is a customer of Micron PC so apparently we also get their tickets to tent city so I'm not complaining.

And after the bowl game, I'll be picking up my Wii from my coworker then heading over to another friends house to play with his Wii. Now we will be able to play head to head tennis because we will have two controllers. Fun fun fun. I am giddy. I got my Cube about 2 years after it came out. The Wii will be my first ever console launch purchase. I"ll be part of the few, the proud, the nerdy, the Wii Mii crowd. And I'm loving it.

I'll eventually create a Mii on my system (already have it on my friends) and probably will post it. Here. Have fun, you Wiiless masses (except you TL, and the other elite group).

That just sounds so wrong

Whoever at Nintendo came up with a product name that enables such a nasty-sounding sentence to be strung together by unsuspecting people needs to be taken out and shot. :-)

I fully support the use of naughtness when it comes to wii-ish names.
