Should I get Raymond 1 or 2? Mostly going to be one player, but once in awhile it may be 2 people playing.

Also, besides Mario Galaxy and SSB, what games should I get?

Finally, has anyone seen the Wii in stores? My parents want one, but I really don't want them to pay the scalper pricing for it.

Target and Toys R Us get shipments once in a while, and there are always people waiting outside when they do (I have brothers that work(ed) there). You need to call places and find out when the next shipment is and be there an hour before opening. Toys R Us has a one-Wii-per-customer limit so scalpers can't snap them up (unless they bring friends or bribe people in line).

That's what I was afraid of. I almost scored one on ebay yesterday for close to retail. I got really lucky and a friend of mine was able to score one at Target for me.

Thanks!

Raymond 1 is better than Raymond 2. Although R2 is a little easier to navigate on the multiplayer, the games in R1 are overall much better/more fun.

Raymond 1 it shall be.

BarTopDancer · 04-01-2008, 03:14 PM

As much as I am opposed to using eBay for this, I just won one off of there. My dad is going to be so excited. And it was only $10 over retail.

Chernabog · 04-01-2008, 03:31 PM

$10 MORE than retail!?!?

BarTopDancer · 04-01-2008, 04:06 PM

Yup. For the physical machine anyways. $261.24

But I think I got an amazing deal.

From what I figured (and my math may be flawed) retail would be $249+19.30 in tax = $268.30.

I paid $291.24 (includes $30 shipping).

When mine was shipped to me from my friend, I paid a grand total of $280something (including shipping).

Ohhhhhhhhhhh I thought you meant $10 more than retail for the GAME, so I was like.. WTF.. lol... no $10 more than retail for the SYSTEM is no biggie

Good buy, and no running around to the stores, so good job!

Quite excited. Pretty much paid what I paid for it from the store. I think of the overage as gas savings
