Well, I was walking through Target last night with the wife doing some odds and ends type of shopping when we passed by the electronics counter and noticed they had 1 Wii left in stock. We had decided a week earlier that we would keep and eye out for one now instead of waiting until Xmas to try and get one. Figured the demand is so high now, that once xmas comes around it will be worse. I went to my wife and told her they had one left... we had our son with us so she told me to take the keys and put it in the car and she would keep him busy while I did so. The funny part is at first when I told her that there was one left... she thought I was talking about a DS game that our son had asked for... not the Wii. So when she handed me the keys I thought she knew I was talking about getting the Wii. Well when we packed the car up she said "That looks like more than a small bag!" I then proceeded to tell her that I needed to get another nun-chuck and controller for it. She said... "Why do you need that for a DS game?" My whole face went white! I thought... here we go, I am going to get it. I thought she knew what I was talking about. Well I told her that I would just take it back the next day. She just laughed and said "You can't take that back, you said you were looking for one." Then she just kinda of laughed about my reaction. Then she reminded me that I couldn't play with it for the next 5 months. I had forgotten that my stepson's dad had told us he is also looking for a Wii for Xmas and that we were not allowed to get one until after that. So I have a brand new Wii and two games sitting in the safe at home that I can't use until December 26th! LOL Oh well, at least we have one now.

Congrats!

You are in for a real treat once you get to play it. Wii sports is still my favorite followed by Mario Kart.
 
That sucks. Play that beast. I just finally found one here in Baton Rouge last weekend. I love mario galaxy, and super smash brothers.
 
take it out to test it and make sure everything works. and MAKE SURE YOU LET HER PLAY.

my wife bought an xbox for me last november and i was waiting till dec 25th to open it. I finally convinced her to let me test it out and believe it or not it was locking up. i had a few days left on my 30 day store return policy so i returned it and bought one with the new chipset (falcon) from another store.

let her play so she gets hooked
 
Probably a good thing you got it now. I'm trying to do the same thing sort of. I want to buy my wife a Wii so I'm starting to save now so I can beat the holiday demand.
 
Man, you're a glutton for punishment. YOu're actually going to let that sit until Christmas? YOu've got bigger balls than me, my friend.

And to all my other community friends, let's show Tom how excited we are that he'll be joining the Wii ranks in.....5 months. Let's take time each day to let him know what games we've been playing. We might even want to post some pics of us in action just to show him that we will be welcoming him to the Wii community. Eventually.
Hey, let's have a non-stop Wii bowling tournament in celebration of Tom getting a Wii....in December. We can post our best scores as we play, complete with screenshots.
And heck, we can even do reviews on all the new games we get....between now and December.

Whaddya think, guys? Who's ready to welcome Tom into the Wii family....in December????
 
My son picked up Wii Ski this week and we have been playing every night.

I am all in for a Wii bowling tournament even though I suck at it.:whistle:

300 both right and left handed.
 
Hey Tom, the kids and I were playing Rock Band last night on the Wii, it's soooo much fun. You should check it out sometime......... ya know, in like 5 months.
 
wow sounds like your wife has you by the short n curlys!

i don't understand why you have to wait 5 months.. thats almost half a year.. life is too short !
