I'm getting those tomorrow. Unless it snows, then my friend (who I'm getting it through) won't be able to bring it to school thanks to it being snowed out. Either way I win!

You'll love Zelda! At least you should. If you don't, this relationship is over.

Seriously though, I think Twilight Princess might be as good as Ocarina of Time, which, as we all know, is amazing.

Too bad it's impossible to find out unless you're ready to wait at midnight or early morning. The thing that gets me is that most of the people that DO wait in line will just go on to sell it on ebay.

    Haha! I have teh hookups!

    My friend's mom works at Nintendo and I can find one easy. Maybe peezy. Perhaps even, lemon squeezey?

      Jodo: I waited in line for one and of the 39 people that bought one that morning, no one said they were selling it. Everyone wanted to keep it for themselves. The PS3's may have mostly gone on eBay for ridiculous prices but it appears the Nintendo Wii is mostly staying with the first owners.

        I waited in line for both the PS3 and the Wii and it was only the people in the PS3 line that were planning on selling. There were over 60 people in line for the Wii and every single person said they were keeping it.

        Some hard numbers as well as some of my own rough estimates on what percentage of people are holding on to their own machines once they get them. It looks like over 95% of all Wii owners are not putting them up on eBay. Compare that to about no more than 84% of PS3 owners (I am way too lazy to try and determine what happened last year with the XBox 360).

          I can't imagine a more torturous situation. At home all day, with no Wii to play. (I'm Robert Frost on weekdays).

            But I have Gears of War on a plasma TV with Godly surround sound. And food. I'm happy.
