My local EB told me that they would know by monday. :-/ So now Im a little confused about whats going on with these Wii preorders... Edit: Update: Looks like Firday, Oct 13th is the day. GoNintendo has an email from EB/Gamestop. I'll try to call tomorrow to see whats going on. The guys at my store probally didnt have the most up to date info. http://gonintendo.com/?p=6660#comments
After reading that E-Mail from EB/GS, I can't wait to call their customer service line tomorrow and report a local store. I was in a few days ago, asking about the Wii Pre-Order, and the jerkoff manager told me I had to pre-order Wii games to get in on a system pre-order. He also told me "the more games you pre-order, the higher you are on the list for the system." I can't wait to rat out that piece of shit and his store.
We had to place $50 for the preorder, if you wanted to pre-order any games you could do so (not mandatory). The guy that was working there was a friend of my brothers so the whole thing was legit not none of that "buy a bunch of games and you are guaranteed a Wii" deal. Most stores still did not have the SKU# for the Wii so that may be the problem as well, for us it was basically putting the $50 for a game but later it would be credited to the system as soon as they get in the SKU# for the system and if you want that game you can order it as well. I basically ordered the System, Call of Duty 3 , Zelds, and Trauma Center.
