Official Wii Thread

Talk about nickel-n-diming. That's close to $300 for the system if you want to get the best resolution out of it. There's no excuse not to include component cables either, since most everyone's TVs nowadays have component slots and can do 480p.

Once you got inside, anyone could of just got on line to try out the Wii. We didnt even have to be online to begin with. We could of just walked in like we were browsing and just hopped onto a line instead of freezing our asses off. But she stuck out like a sore thumb with that get-up.

That hurts.

Not that you called me gay, but that I'm not your favorite anymore.

Component inputs have been standard in televisions for the last 6 years at least. I'm not talking 480p, just simple component inputs, which are much better than composite and even S-Video.

But really, I think Nintendo should have gone with RF switches.

Dunno if this was posted yet--didn't see it in my quick scan of the thread.

Supposedly the site can tell you how many Wii untis the Target stores in your area are getting. Search for a nearby areacode within parentheses -- i.e. (916) -- and it should list the stores around you.

SF bay area seems to be getting around 610, while the Sacramento area is getting even a few more. I'll be in Sacramento that weekend. Hope it works out.

I can recommend some good places in Sacramento for food, or some bars.

Is this even accurate, or just some dude who made something up

If it's accurate, the store closest to me is getting like 60. I'm still gonna try Sears or K-mart.
