- volcomjerk, on 10/12/2007, -5/+17Oh yes cause selling a PS3 or Wii on eBay is SOOOO profitable... I'd rather work overtime at my job rather than stand out in the cold concrete with a bunch of geeky strangers who think they are all gonna be the next Donald Trump if they sell a PS3 on eBay.
- Sheir, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Yeah I called them just now, they said to call tomorrow night.
They'll probably e-mail it out like they did the night before the PS3 pre-order thing. - Brett, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Stores should be taking a lot more preorders for Wii than PS3. The initial available quantities of Wii's is not expected to be anything short of a billion.
-Brett
PS: Occasionally, its ok to be childish. I suggest not digging this article as it only raises awareness. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5damnit to hell, i just HAD to lend my sleeping bag to my friend. Looks like its beach chairs for me.
- bobbyi, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6I was in the Nintendo World Store (in Rockefeller Center) weeks ago and they were taking Wii pre-orders. Are they the only ones doing it so far?
- slammer666, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Here in the uk 'Game' have been taking pre-orders for a while as far as im aware. Correct me if im wrong, im sure i saw i sign up saying they were taking them.
- jads, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3they have - pre-ordered mine 2 weeks ago
- rm999, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3This is kind of lame - a rumor about a pre-order that may not even gaurantee the system making the front page?
Come on people... Get a life, I'm pretty sure it won't be hard to get a Wii sometime during opening week given the large production. - wcbzero, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Go to the original source....
http://www.thewiire.com/news/513/1/GameStop_Wii_Preorders_Begin_Oct_13 - Noloco, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Well I was told two to three days by an Eb Games employer...So Friday seems possible and remember awhile back the rumor on the 10th supposedly. Also a while while back. I was told a week or two..So now that the new rumor for me is two to three days..That was the 9th. I believe Friday might be a possible belief..Possible.
I think what's making preorders hard is jerks who want to sale it on Ebay...Bleh on you. - Qacer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I was also told that they are going to start taking pre-orders on Friday morning. They added that I needed to put $50 down.
- rbtopp, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3This site started in America budy and did it say anything about preorders starting around the world on the 13??? no so GTFO
- emjaymj, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2does this apply to canadian eb games as well?
- KSUdesigner, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I was in EB Games last weekend and asked the clerk about preorders for the Wii. Now this kid didn't look like any sort of management so he probably had his info wrong, but this is what he told me:
- he heard Nintendo will ship 2 million units in U.S. at launch
- he heard that they will not be taking preorders for the Wii (um I doubt that)
- they are already taking reservations for some Wii games and said that if you have a game reserved for the Wii, they intend to call anybody holding a reservation for a game when and if they begin to take preorders for the Wii to give those customers priority
Sounded kinda like the kid didn't have all his facts straight, but that's what he told me. - heinousjay, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1+bleh, changed my mind+
- TheG2, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4I talked to the people at Gamestop today and they have no idea, but they've heard the rumors that friday will be a busy day there.
So much for the 10th rumor huh? - jet3004, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I pre-ordered it already at Nintendo World they day they announced the release date.
- Tu13erhead, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2A nearby GameStop said they're starting preorders Friday as well.
- treed, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3I got a call on Monday saying that my local ebgames would be selling preorders on this last Tuesday, and that they'd have 20 slots, so I showed up and the guy's like "What are you talking about? We have 40 slots and they won't be open for about another week." He did confirm the number that called me was from his store.
Weird *****. - nesdude, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That's what the manager at my local Gamestop told me too, right before I plopped down cash for Zelda. If all else fails, we'll know by the end of Friday if preorders happened or not.
- rlombardo, on 11/05/2008, -0/+1My GameStop told me by the end of the week...but it sounded like they were as sure as I was. I guess we will find out soon enough.
- SirBriggs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I preordered mine a week ago at Nintendo World...glee.
- MatttK, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I was at the EB in Waterloo, Ontario today. They told me the rumours are false and that they will NEVER be taking ANY Wii preorders BUT that they will have a large enough supply so that you won't need to preorder.
- wwwdot1jesdotus, on 10/12/2007, -12/+12"GameStop is going to start taking pre-orders for the Nintendo Wii by the end of the week."
Don't you mean the end of the Wiik? - pitchblackvoid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Now I'm starting to think I shouldn't have plopped down $100 for a PS3 pre-order...
- passarinho76, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Someone told me today that they went to Zellers (Toronto, ON) and they are going to have some for pre-order. However she didn't say when.
- ky9798, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1the losers that work at gamestop has there familys and nerdy freinds come in and buy them so they can make some money at there crappy low paying job
- kiknik, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i put a down payment of $50 on mine at the FYE near me and had it reserved

- MagL33To, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1I've had my Wii pre-ordered for a few weeks now from www.gameplay.co.uk

- batmang, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0i bought my xbox 360 off ebay right as the prices were dropping below 600$. Which sucked, but i looked at the guys history, and he recently bought the xbox off ebay for closer to 1000 buahaha. Screw the middle man.
- millixaw, on 10/12/2007, -6/+4Sad, indeed.
- NeoRicen, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1America isn't the center of the ***** world, pre orders elsewhere have already started, reported inaccurate, should be US Preorders start friday.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -10/+4You all want the Wii so bad! hahaha
- DreadPirateWes, on 10/12/2007, -16/+2+ Lame
+ Worthless conjecture
+ Another empty Wii article - RatherDashing, on 10/12/2007, -44/+7I missed the PS3 preorder at my gamestop by a good 10 minutes (my friend did get one though). This time I am preparing. Sad thing is I don't want any of these damn things, i just want to sell them on ebay.
