Amazon.com is selling them to their customers, however, the rules are a bit different: * Your Amazon.com account must have been created no later than 11:59 p.m. (Pacific time) on December 11, 2006. * You need an authorized credit card on your account. * The claim codes will be distributed only to randomly selected customers. * If selected, you are eligible to buy only the deal that you signed up for. http://promotions.amazon.com/gp/holiday/cv...4186069-2904140 |

Amazon is too cool. They actually listened to the suggestions that the customers put forth. That being said, I can't afford the PS3 for the moment, and I'm not getting a Wii for Christmas (many many complications), so I'm signed up for the Wii at the moment. |

You're lucky... I can't even afford the Wii, and I didn't ask for one for Christmas due to, as you aptly put it, complications. |

Wait, so I need to create a new account now? I'm kind of confused. I've had this same account for years. |

Come to think of it, I'm not even 100% sure I could use a Wii or PS3 even if I could afford one. We don't own any HDTVs, and I've been hearing that you actually need that crap to even play Wii and PS3 games. Anyone wanna confirm or deny this? And please forgive my ignorance, I just started hearing about this... |

Not at all; both hook up fine to regular TV sets (in fact the Wii looks hardly better on an HD); it's just a matter that these systems don't look like amazing leaps forward because the monitor/TV you're watching isn't capable of displaying the resolution these games are broadcast at. (Atleast in the case of the PS3 and Xbox 360). Being that next gen games aren't really brilliant leaps forward in terms of code, design or even textures, rather they're just higher resolution with more polygons, you need the newer TVs to see the big difference. That'll change as designs evolve to take advantage of the systems though. |

Whew, that's a relief. I was worried as I haven't bought a new TV in at least six years. Not that it makes a difference right now anyways since it'll probably be a long while before I can even try a Wii out on my screen. |

No, no. You can't create a new account for this; you have to use a one created prior to December 11. |

Ahem... Ahem... I WON A Wii!
I'm so hyped and uber-excited right now, you have noooo idea. I've been dancing around the house all day, because I really didn't think I was going to get one at all in time for the holidays, but I really got one, and everyone in my house has been anticipating this, and and and I'm RAMBLING. Okay, I'll stop now. But yes, against all odds, I have a Wii for Christmas! |

Heyhey. It's actually at my house now, due to one-day shipping. Thank you so much for the congrats, guys. This has been an absolutely awful pre-holiday season for me. With the massive break-up with my boyfriend of three and a half years, my mom in the hospital for sugery, my aunt passing away (she was only 52), and now my grandfather in the ICU after complications with his heart, it's just nice to finally have ONE good thing happen. I hope you all have better holidays than me. <3 |

I'm sorry to hear that, Riot. But like you said, there's something to brighten things up. What games do you have? |

I actually have Twilight Princess and Red Steel. That should be enough to tide me over for now... of course, I won't be playing anything until after Christmas, where I'll post up impressions of everything for you guys. And thanks again for your concern and your congratulations, everyone. I know that some of you on here hate the Wii, and hate everything that it stands for it. But it's nice to know that even if you do loathe the system and what it stands for, you can still be happy that I'm happy for having one. |

I'm really sorry to hear all that happened so recently... it's even worse when it's during this time of year. Yet, I'll still dare to be optimistic enough to say that I do hope you end up having a Merry Christmas. And while I'm a huge Wii >>>>> PS3 kinda person, I'd be just as glad for you if you'd gotten the latter instead. |
