Buehrle>Wood Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 So, I didn't camp-out for my pre-order. And I don't want to camp out to get a video game system. Anyone with experience know where the best places to go would be? Any stores with midnight launches? Also, the editor of IGN called Zelda: Twilight Princess "The greatest game of all-time" today. I can't frickin' wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHarris1 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I am wondering as well cuz there aint no way in hell I'm planning on camping out. I'm thinking of just trying the more obscure places like Sears, Target, etc on Sunday morning right when they open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chimpy2121 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I'm going to try to get one Sunday morning before I go to Buffalo Wild Wings to watch football. If I don't get one it's no big deal, I'll just wait for the next shipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted November 18, 2006 Author Share Posted November 18, 2006 IGN basically called Twilight Princess the best game of all-time today in their review. Can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're open 24 hours and they're doing the 12:01 release (though for the PS3 they said this and gave out vouchers way earlier, but I wouldn't think it'd be as bad as the PS3) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoRowand33 Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 I might get the new zelda for gamecube because gamespot said that that wii controller takes away from the gameplay with small glitches and too much simplicity in the senseless hacking on second thought, I'm not sure because IGN is like an exact opposite of gamespot's review Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the GCN version is likely in a limited release, so it will be hard to get. Right now on gamerankings, the Wii version is tied for the 6th best rated game ever.

chimpy2121 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Gahh, there are lines everywhere. Best Buy is getting 48 and there are only like 30 people camped out right now. I might try heading over there at 8 to see if I can get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted November 19, 2006 Author Share Posted November 19, 2006 First person in line at Toys R Us midnight launch not to get one. Yay. Also, contrary to what I have been saying, this thing will not be easy to get at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3 BeWareTheNewSox 5 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Maybe call ahead, but I would try some place like a Sears or Kmart that might get a small number in but are irrelevant to people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen numbers from every local store around here. You don't want to go to either. I realize people won't think of it to go to these places, but they have an extremly few units coming in. You're better off taking you chances at one of the bigges stores. The good thing about K-Mart though is that it is a lottery where they pull your name out of a hat or something. So anyone who shows up at opening has the same chance as everyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted November 19, 2006 Author Share Posted November 19, 2006 Wii sports Tennis is a ton of fun. Simple control that anyone could handle. Baseball- the ideas were good, the effort was not. Swinging a bat should feel more real with the remote. Hopefully MLB2k7 fixes all this(Not that I expected Wii Baseball to be as advanced as that). Golf- Fun. Again, could have been deeper, but it's still fun. Boxing- By far the best of them. The only problem is that it is so fricken' tiring! Haven't played bowling yet.
