Yeah, that's right, I couldn't wait. So sue me.

I won a Wii off eBay. I truly didn't even intend to, because I've bid on them quite a bit before but I never went over $300 bucks because I don't want to pay that much.

I just randomly bid on one, and when I saw I had new email I assumed it was an OUTBID NOTICE LOL. But nope, I won it miraculously. It should be here by Wednesday, naturally that's the only day this week I have school due to holidays and all. OH CRUEL FATE. For the record, I didn't pay much over what it retails for, and the shipping cost would be about the same as the sales tax, so I'm content.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to it. It's kind of sad that what inspired me to bid was the fact that krile and I were playing the various Mario Party games on Valentine's Day (yes, I'm so romantic) and I suddenly realized OH CRAP IF WE DON'T GET A WII SOON WE COULD MISS OUT ON MARIO PARTY 8! (even though it doesn't come out for months) That series is so obviously pumping out halfassed sequels for an easy profit every time but it's some of the most hilarious gameplay I've ever had. With the Wiimote it'll be beyond fun.

Now I'll finally be able to put that copy of Twilight Princess for Wii we have to use.

This begins my perfect plan for console domination (TM) wherein Krile and I stockpile PS2 RPGs for our horrible, destructive addiction to them. Meanwhile, we have a Wii for innovative next-gen crazyness, and that will play what remaining Gamecube games we pick up as well. And portables are of course a factor to reckon with, with both our DSs and PSP serving up portable RPGs and stylus touching action. All of this will sustain us until the PS3 significantly drops in price and comes out with better games besides the obvious FF and MGS sequels.

Yes, I've thought this all out far too intricately.

I totally hate being outbid on random high-demand goodies like that, but my theory, you'll /never/ win if you /don't/ place a bid.

I think I probably was involved with 20 or so different auctions for Albert Odyssey for the Sega Saturn before I /finally/ won a copy back a great number of years ago.

This is why I love "Buy it Now". In fact I usually use it instead of trying to bid on things whenever possible, because it's just not worth the hassle to save a few bucks. After being outbid by last-second auction snipers enough times, it wears on you.

Your icon looks like it's an arrow pointing to Jade's crotch. At least, that's what I thought it was at first. :D

And Mario Party games may be cheezy and a marketing ploy, but I've never laughed so hard in my life playing some of those minigames. It wins for that alone. XD

An arrow pointing to his crotch that keeps SHRINKING.. HMMMMMMMM

Yeah I really have no problems with the Mario Party series at all, I know what it is, and yet I don't care because of all the lolz.

xD I agree with all aspects of your comments. Yeah yeah so Mario Party is uber dorkiness and cheesy but the mini games pwn for creativity and crack XD

XD I'm pretty sure in time we'll get a Wii around my house. My parents for some reason have always leaned towards buying the Nintendo consoles for us (of course now to them I'm too old for anything and was being nagged for getting a DS instead of other important things >_>-- Can't really buy something to fix my car unless I'm told exactly what it is since I know next to nothing about upsholstery or whatever it's called.

Anyways, I bet you guys will have fun with the Wii :D just imagine once Super Smash Bros. Brawl come out...O_o; actually with those controllers you might really get a punch in the face...
