How can I get a Wii?
« on: March 22, 2007, 07:52:40 AM »
I'm in NYC for a couple days, then going back to New Haven, but one way or another I want to blow a chunk of my tax refund on a Nintendo Wii.

Can you help me Jammie?

Dear Bananapants,

A quick search on NYC craigslist revealed http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/ele/298460107.html.  Worth a shot!  I only mooch off of my father's playstation 2 and play Guitar Hero, so I'm not all that familiar with how to hunt for game consoles.  There are plenty of websites with tips though:

http://www.gamespot.com/events/wiilaunch/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=25133509&msg_id=279842903

One thing I do know, once you do obtain said Wii, you should call me up immediately and invite me over (either in New York or in New Haven).  Midterms are over tonight and I should have some more free time!  Speaking of my midterm tonight, I will be at drinking off my test on 3rd ave b/w 12th and 13th and accepting birthday drinks if you want to pop by. wink wink ;)

Thanks for your question!
Love,
jammie

PS - Is that REALLY a banana in your pants?

Once I was playing Guitar Hero (2 of course!) at wal-mart and this kid came up and asked if he could play it.
I told him to go to hell.
It's that good.

Hmmm, had not looked on craigslist, there is a lot in NYC, but it's all at a profit...

I'll probably try to hunt down a local Target in CT and if I keep failing I'll turn to craigslist in New York again.

PS: Only one way to find out...

The Wii Is good but I prefer the Xbox
