Nintendo World is still the place to score system & accessories

If you know anyone still searching for a system, the Nintendo Store in NY gets a daily shipment of 50-100 systems a day - and a similar number of Wii-motes and nunchuks. They don't take pre-orders, but at least the days of waiting in line through the night appear to be over. The store opens at 9AM Mon-Sat and if you get in line by 7AM, it appears that you'll get your system. However, they are all gone by about 9:30AM and Wii-motes are usually gone by 10AM.

I'm just shocked that people are still lining up in the cold for the system a month+ after the holdidays were over. I love my system, just never thought that the demand would still be this high.

Venturing out there tomorrow morning to try and score a remote and nunchuk for Charlie's co-worker. Wish me luck.

2221 Points in Wii Tennis!!

I hit 2221 points in tennis today.

After playing perfectly for several games, I managed to get 2199 points, but a 40-30 win made me lose points and after winning several 40-30, I dropped to 2178!

I made some soup and composed myself to 5 straight perfect games, and the net result after the games today... 2221 baby!!

Tennis @ 2150

Damn, tennis has no love.

I played a game and won 40-30, yet I lost points to the computer...

You only get points from 40-0 perfect games.

Wii age 26 now..

Rough day...
