just after christmas, me, mike, ben and taka were walking around south coast plaza and stopped in a gamestop to play the wii. they had the zelda game which after trying and failing at for 5 minutes i gave up on, and also gave up on the wii.

then this past saturday before costin’s show, we were at ben’s house and i tried the wii sports games and they were super fun and easy to control, and taka was all over it so i decided i should get one after all. yesterday after not waking up until around 1p and then not being dressed until four-ish (nursing a mean hangover), we went to best buy and they practically laughed at me when i asked if they had any wiis.

so today at lunch i stopped by best buy and circuit city with similar scoffing from similarly unfriendly salespeople, and then went across the street to toys r us and they had 13 of them :) the guy said that the shipment arrived only half an hour before i got there and that they’d prolly be sold out in an hour. lucky me.

they didn’t have any of the controllers in stock, but the super nice salesman at tru told me about some game called ‘wii play’ (i guess it’s a collection of mini games or something) that comes with an extra controller for only $50, so i bought the $5 reservation card and’ll pick up the game and controller on wednesday <3!
