So I'm trying to hock Nintendo Wiis online. Since they're really hard to get in my area, I'm offering any of you $50 (on top of the cost of the Wii) for each one shipped to me. Simple enough.

Specifics:
* Must be a new $250 "Core" system. Other bundle systems are acceptable, but must be agreed upon first.
* I'll pay the sales tax.
* I'll pay for shipping too. I can send you a PDF of a UPS label to print out.
* Yeah, I know this is advertising. Too bad :p
* If you disagree with what I'm doing, keep it to yourself.
* I must receive it by Dec 16th, so let's not cut it too close. If it's getting close to that day, PM me first.

If you have any questions, post below or PM me.

Oooh, you are a sly one. I've been thinking of doing that too, seeing the crazy ass prices on ebay. I don't have the spare cash to do it though. :p

I don't want to admit it, but this is true. I bought my Wii on release day. (Almost a whole year ago!!) and got a couple of games from there. Wii Sports (obv), Zelda, WarioWare, Red Steel, Sonic... possibly some more. I've gotta say that by February I was pretty bored with them all, and there was nothing from then until this month that actually appealed to me. At least things are looking up with Mario, Metroid, Brawl soon (I hope), Paper Mario, the new Trauma Centre, No More Heroes (Again, soon I hope). It was a **** of a dry spell though.

new game systems always have a dry spell - then eventually a killer must-have game is released for that platform only, or a version excels on that platform, which makes everyone want to buy the system. I like the Wii interface, but most of the actual graphics and gaming looks retro, IMO. I still love it though :D

having used a crappy PC for the last 5~ years, i'm not concerned with graphics. (i play text adventures and dos game for crying out loud! xD )

and i've heard that a lot of Wii games are cool... a lot of them are mediocre too. (red steel anyone?)

<thinks about all the NES/SNES/N64 games on the virtual console> hmm, i don't know. xD

seriously though, i think he means "last-gen". the Wii's graphics aren't up to the 360/PS3, but they're not bad. in fact, they're pretty good honestly.

and NWRU, i'd help if A) i had the money and B) my parents would let me send a $250 game system to some guy online hoping to get my money back plus $50. they'd probably kill me :p

IMO id say the graphix are matching that of a game cube! in fact it is just like a game cube but in a different box, and a fancy motion controller! i remember some of the first games for the PS1 ( ridge racer 1 ) that had better graphix than half the games for the Wii.
