Well, the time for the Wii to come out is almost upon us. I thought I'd be more interested in getting a PS3 a long time ago, though due to the price of it, and the less than stellar game line up for the launch release window, I'm taking a pass on it for now, and probably get it next year when games like Devil May Cry 4, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Heavenly Sword, and some other good games are out before I get a PS3
My anticipation for the Wii and Twilight Princess is growing even as I type this. The Wii, while it looks wacky at first, should be a whimsical console that many people will overlook just because of the Wii-mote. I was skeptical at first, but after learning that LoZ: TP was coming out with the Wii at launch, I just had to get one. Luckily, my friend hit me up as he found out that they were still giving out reserves at our local Gamecrazy. Being 13th on the list isn't bad, although I don't know how many systems Gamecrazy is getting that day. Well, if I'm screwed out of it there, I always have the option of going to my local Circuit City to pick it up there, just have to get my refund on my reserve first if the worst happens on that day.
Well, My friend and I are still trying to formulize a gameplan for that morning, though I worry about what we've come up with so far. He was going to pick me up around 9:30, we wait outside Hollywood video when we get there, and pick up our games and systems. The thing that worries me about that is my friend's willingness to stay awake that morning. He'll be working overnight on saturday, and gets off of work around 6:00am on Sunday. He's assured me that he'll stay awake, though I think he'll be too excited to go to sleep. I just know that'll be one long ass night for him. I'd go up there myself, but found out my mom is working 10:45 in the morning on Sunday, and Dad, he'll use the car to go to church around 10 or 11. If not, I'd go by myself to get it and both my friend and I could geek out on the phone a few hours after playing our games.
Hopefully, everything goes smoothly, and now only thing we have to figure out is where to go to celebrate for lunch of getting the system. I vote Applebee's but we've been there around three or four times during the summer. We'll figure something out. I Just hope when I get my system home, my bro doesn't hog the TV for too long playing Gears of War, cause he's off on that day as well. Dangnabbit. Also, I'm hoping that my nephew doesn't come over on that day as well, or he'll ask me a million questions while I'm playing Zelda. Maybe the day after, but not on the first day.
Good Luck to any of those getting the PS3 or the Wii and the games that you want for it. Though most of the luck is directed toward those getting the PS3. I hope I don't hear any horror stories, but there will bound to be some. Well, I'm out.
