I know many 360 and even PS3 owners who will make the Wii there secod console. I went down to the mall yesterday, Gamespot was out of ps3's and Wii's however Wal-mart had 3 PS3's, the small version, and out of Wii's,. I wont buy me a PS3 until the 60GB version is below 400, and thats the only version I want. Until then I will get a Wii when I can get my grubby little hands on it.
Sweet bike.
My son went to Toys R Us in the middle of the night and stood on line - they had 35 sets and he was number 35.
So I am surprised this store didn't do a count just to prevent people from getting really ticked off from standing in line and getting nothing.
My son says someone in the line sold his set for $500, right there.

What are you saying? There is no stock right now, and they are filling orders as fast as possible. Besides why would it backfire on Ninatendoi and not Sony, or XBox even they both were in the same situation at launch.
Nintendo BTW expects to finally exceed demand somewhere in March and will probably remove Wii Sports and drop the price on the consoles by 50 dollars, and offer the consoles in different colors, as there MO. If demand remains high and that happens, buh-bye Sony you were a leader in the industry for a respectable time period.
A neighbor kid had this bike when I was a kid. It had that cool double shifter and I just had to have that bike! I never got it. It's a wonder I didn't grow up to be a liberal!! ;)
Separate of the two hot consoles, I've been looking at the X-Box 360.....my son currently has a regular X-Box....
Is this really a trade up or am I wasting my money?
Good gamer advice is needed...
The modern day "Christmas spirit" in America seems to be perfectly summed up in the movie "Jingle all the Way", except without the happy ending.
Yeah, mine, too:
I am very happy with my Xbox 360. Having a Hi-Def TV is essential to getting the most out of it though. Otherwise go with the wii or just your regular xbox.
The last game I owned was PONG, so I dunno...
From an XBox yeah, 360 no. But then again Nintendo's view isnt that its meant for gamers, its meant for the casual audience that wants a different experience. Such as actually swinging the controller for golf, or operating on someone and it satisfies the regualar gamer who just wants to kill things and beat a game.
I hate to break it to all of you, but Microsoft already has a huge advantage in terms of sales, game library, and logically the established user base.
Right now, Nintendo is chasing Microsoft - who, according to http://www.nexgenwars.com, has sold an almost identical number of Xbox 360 consoles as the Wii has sold since the Wii was launched. That is, Nintendo has sold 1.8 million Wiis since it was launched while Microsoft has sold 1.7 million 360s since the Wii was launched.
The Wii has a number of problems. Its graphics are already dated and much of its appeal is based on a unique controller with unknown stamina - the "gimmick" might wear off quickly and it might not. Interestingly enough, the technology is not particularly revolutionary, and both other consoles (PS3 and Xbox 360) could theoretically add similar functionality to their consoles.
Also, you would be crazy to count out Sony.
I don't understand adult fascination with a child's game, either. I personally know a 43-year-old man who called in sick to work and arranged for his wife to deliver food while he remained in line for a Playstation3 console. He got the device, but it still seems peculiar to me for an otherwise well-adjusted person.

What *is* that bike, anyway? I had a Schwinn Stingray when I was a kid (I wanted the way-cool "Krate" with the "springer fork", but Santa didn't like the look of that tiny front wheel...). That looks like a pretty close knock-off of the Stingray, but the fenders and shifter appear different (the Schwinn was only a 5-speed, so had only a single, taller shifter. Fully-chromed fenders, too - no paint).
"fiction."
Now there's a polite way to say "pack of lies."
You are completely wrong. PS3's are selling every single unit they can pump out.
Sony really needs to rethink its strategy. For example, consider their mp3 players. They have a proprietary file format, so they don't actually play mp3's. Apparently, they haven't learned their lesson from Betamax.
Are you sure it's a she???
