Wii

I was walking across Eaton Center the other day and some guy with a black bag stopped me and asked: “Want a Wii?”

If you don’t know yet, the Wii is Nintendo’s latest gaming console which is pretty sold out almost everywhere on Earth just like Sony’s Playstation 3.

The only reason why I bring this up is because I am so used to people asking me for money or people handing out papers, newspapers or flyers.

    I was enquiring for a Wii in a games store on Ste Catherine and they were offering me one for almost twice the suggested retail price. The catch, they included 3 very lame games. I said the games were not exactly the games I would buy, and he replied: “That’s why we include them, they don’t sell.” That was quite frank of him, but he probably sensed that I wasn’t going to buy anyway. I’m not in a hurry, my birthday is still 6 weeks awii, eh away.

    The whole Wii issue sucks. I’m trying to buy the device since before Christmas. It’s sold out, only some devices arrive every week to the main retailers. Then, the people who works there, they buy them and resell the consoles for 200 bucks more in craisglist, ebay… This console does not worth 400$. This looks like a third world country, where the people is cheating and trying to make money by abusing. What’s next? They will resell medicines?
    Sucks, I expected this in Spain, but not in a civilized country.

    “pretty sold out almost everywhere on Earth just like Sony’s Playstation 3″

    Err, sorry for the nerdy nit-picking, but the PS3 isn’t sold out everywhere on Earth.. that’s Sony’s issue right there, they WISH it were sold out, but there isn’t much demand for their over-priced console. The Wii is still, two months after Xmas, very much sold out everywhere.
