I have to apologize for my lack of updates. With school and work, I have been too busy, and quite frankly, too lazy to update my blog. Since my last entry, I have done some major thinking as to how I will direct this site’s future. If you have any suggestions please bring some up, but all I can say is look forward to the coming months!

Anyways, as the title of the entry suggests, I’m interested in pre-ordering a Wii. I missed out on the earlier pre-order day at my local Gamestop and I’m looking for any way I can snag one.

Nintendo has gone on record to officially state that there will be 2 million Wii’s at launch, but for some reason I have a feeling it will be a lot harder snagging one than we initially thought. The number one reason for this is the game that’s brewing on a lot of gaming fans minds’ right now: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, which many feel will probably be a worthy sucessor and spritual sequel to the highly regarded Ocarina of Time.

Pre-orders currently, for me atleast, are a complete mess. The only store that’s apparently going to be taking pre-orders anytime soon is Toys R’ Us (TRU). Upon entering my area’s TRU, after quizzing the workers in the gaming section, I came to the conclusion that most selling this thing still don’t anything about it’s release. I was told that there will be no pre-orders at TRU, and that the basis for buying the new console would be first come, first serve; Which is a complete contradiction to many internet reports saying that TRU will take pre-orders October 29th (my 21st b-day!).

So what’s going on? How am I going to solve this? Will I be able to get a Wii at launch? Gamestop has a pre-order limit, Wal Mart doesn’t allow you to pre-order, nor does Best Buy or Target, and now it appears I can’t pre-order at TRU? I can only hope that what these TRU workers told me is a miscommunication issue on their part.

Either way, I have the feeling that come November 18th I’m going to have to pull out the sleeping bag, because I’m camping out. Which is unfortunate.
