News: December 2007 Archives
You've heard it all year but now's the testing time. Is the Wii going to sell well this Christmas? Our Canadian friends are finding out the answer harshly at the moment, with a report just released stating that the Nintendo Wii is topping the 'sold out at Christmas' charts already. If you want a Wii, you'd better get your credit card out and go to a site like Ebay, because the shops are sold out almost where ever you go. CBC.ca had this to say ten minutes ago:
'For the second straight year, electronics stores around Metro Vancouver are out of stock of the innovative game system heading into Christmas, said Rick Lee, assistant manager at EB Games in Burnaby.
"They're just the most popular item in the video-game market this year. They're really hard to come by because any time we get them, they just fly right out the door," Lee told CBC News on Wednesday.
Shoppers like Natalie Boucher and her whole family have scoured the Lower Mainland in a last-minute attempt to get their hands on one.
"We've called as far away as Kamloops and Bellingham in the U.S. to try and find one of these Wii's, but so far no luck," Boucher said.'

If you're one of the thousands of Club Nintendo members who have faithfully been collecting stars from your purchases of first party (that's Nintendo) games and hardware etc, then the recent news that you can now spend your stars on Wii points must thrill you. We were pretty excited about it because like at an election, Nintendo promised this at the start of the Wii's shelf life ... but for a long time, there had been nothing.
The deal is pretty simple. You join Club Nintendo at their web site and collect your stars there by filling in registration of items you've purchased (such as certain DS games). For many of us, we've been doing this for years. But if you haven't, you can still join now - it's not too late.
