    Cool

    I was watching a backlogged episode of CNet's Buzz Report from Jan 29 and Molly reported that the Wii was on sale on Amazon again....this time for a MERE 28 minutes before selling out! It's so funny, yet true, what she said - that's not even enough time to get a credit card out of your wallet much less go through the entire checkout process.

    It's also interesting that it's February and it's next to impossible to find a Wii selling from any store online. Major retailers like BestBuy, CircuitCity, and EBGames only have Wii consoles available for purchase in their 'brick and mortar' stores! PS3s are readily available online though, if you want one - that is.

    The big man over at Sony ---- NOT PLEASED!

    They have no Wii's in brick and mortar stores. PERIOD.

    My sig other has been in NJ, NY, Miami, Ft. Lauderdale visiting family, there are none in any store she has been in.

    She actually called me two nights ago to say she finally got to demo one in a Gamestop and it was loads of fun.(Nester-san is Jealous)

    This big crowd was there and everyone was playing and laughing. The Store Manager came up and in a very tired voice said,"We have no Wii's, we don't know when we will be getting more, no, the other stores don't have any, no, you can't pre-order."

    So I said what about the PS3s, she said "Tons of those, all over the place"

    Let me continue to through some wood into this fire

    Wii outselling PS3 in Japan

    For me, the fact is that the PS3 would be more successful if they lowered their price...I mean US$250 is the Max a console should cost. Anything higher is ridiculous for me.

    The only reason the PS3 is US$200 more than it should be is Sony's use of the PS3 to push their BlueRay Technology as the de facto next gen media. Now that's sad.

    the lesson afterwards
