If I was the kind of consumer they wanted then I couldhave the Wii tomorrow or the next day. Just buy a bundle and have it ship overnight. But I am not that kind of consumer. It is easy for parents to give in to their kids because you want to make them happy. When they ask for something, you look at them and remember holding them as babies and then you want to please them. well I am glad my kid understands, beside, most of the games they want aren't out yet. They went back to playing the cube and ps2.

All of this makes me think that Nintendo will lose sales this holiday season Because if I got it now for my kid then by Christmas I could pick up a couple of games as gifts and more money would have been spent over time. Maybe get a game for myself.

As it stands I'll get them one when I find one on a store shelf for 250.00 and one game of their choice. they might wait until the thing is 49.95 brand new.

My kid asked me for a wii and I said ok. I went shopping for one and couldn't find one. I looked online and that was a mess. Gamestop only has a bundle and it isn't for sale until after 10-31-07 and if you read the fine print they claim to have the right not to include something if it isn't available. Walmart has a bundle also and it seems like a better deal than gamestop's, but my kid doesn't need more than one game at this time. Best buy is out of stock. Circuit city is out of stock.

Here is where the games begin. I work in warehousing. I have worked in warehousing for a while. So while working in a warehouse I saw 50 pallets of the Wii. About 70 to a pallet. The pallets are sitting neatly in storage racks above pallets of laptop computers. The laptop computers are selected and shipped daily. The Wiis haven't moved.

So why the game? Oh, Christmas season is coming and retailers want to wait to grab as much dough as they can. I told my kid that after Christmas the Wii will be available for a decent price and I'll get them one then. My kid looked broken hearted but I showed her what people on Amazon wanted for a used Wii- a whooping 349.00.

The Wii isn't rare. Retailers are just not willing to sell a single unit at base price during the upcoming holiday season.

What is a real hoot is when your rep drops but then you get 5 friend(s) request. I have to think, did one of you guys just slam me and then send me a friends request? I don't comment on anybody because I don't remember who did what and some tags are just too out there to memorize. If I spot a cheater or glitcher I dump the game and start over if I am hosting. There are too many people in the world who play video games to worry about things like REP. As if people are going to be honest about your performance when you tick 'em off. Out of the 5 people that send a friends request 2 will stay and those are the ones that liked what you did. 

Because I was 90/10 and then during a Gears game I ripped 'em. Chainsaw, shotgun, pistol, smoke, tag, melee, roll away and then curby. I was called a cheater, a blaa blaa and doo doo. After the set, I played RE$ with the mine thrower out of save slot 3 just for kicks. After, I went to bed. When I got up and flipped on the 360 and checked my REP. Oh Man, my rep was down in the gutter. 78/21 33% said I was unsporting. Hold on, I don't use cheats or glitches and I take an ass stomping like a whatever.

Player Haters is all I can think of and if that is the case Rep is not a show case of how well you play. But rather how well the other players lose. I got something to say to the Haters. Everybody at one time or another takes a foot stomping. I still take a foot stomping but I take it like a gamer.
