GameStop to take Nintendo Wii pre-orders on October 13

Limited supply? I don't think it'll be too hard to waltz into a place at noon on launch day and pick one up...well, maybe earlier...but still, this won't be DS Lite kind of hysteria.

Hmmmm, I will probably be able to get a Wii on launch day (especially in my city), but do I risk it? Grrrr.... Precious few hours to decide.

Honestly, just curious...are there many systems (nowadays) where you can 'just waltz in' to a store, on launch day, and 100% wide-eyed'ly expect to get that system?

wii or xbox360 is going to be the big alternative when christmas comes along.

sony plan backfiring? probably.

Don't tell me they didn't plan of doing shortages. They do this EVERY time.

I'll be nabbing one of our employee preorders they allocated to us as soon as we're open. Most of the Gamestops have 8-16 available to customers and 4-6 available to employees (completely depending on the size of the individual store).

hmmm... went by, just as many people were lined up as with the PS3.

"sold out" preorders before the store opened.

This might be a huge Christmas!!!

Wii's not being preordered until Monday here in Canada. This sucks balls. And, they're only getting 20 - people are already planning to camp out for it. Sigh.
