Wii Reserve Information UPDATE!!!
OK here is the deal. I know that I posted today, October 9th, as the official day that “certain stores” would be taking preorders and much to my dismay I was “off.” Before you guys start calling me a “fake” notice the quotes of me being “off”. I know that I am speaking in generalities but let’s just say I wasn’t “too far” off. That is all that I can say for now but I will be seeing you guys “tomorrow”…..That’s a lot of quotes…. Game ON.
Update: Ok this is hopefully the FINAL UPDATE in the never ending Wii-Reserve saga. FRIDAY THE 13TH IS THE DATE!!!! It was supposed to be tomorrow, but FRIDAY the 13th is the date! What a weird date but it’s finally official. Sorry guys for all of the ups and downs but you can write that one on a bank slip because it’s money in the bank. Corny sayings aside this Friday is the date. I know I have my money set aside and will be lined up and waiting.

Wii Earlier than Expected?
Check out the picture below (taken from a best buy computer screen)….Notice anything interesting? If we examine closely, it states that the arrival date for the Wii will be October 29th. Could this be a sign of things to come or will we have to wait till November 19th to get our hands on the Wii? I do think that something will be happening on October 29th but I do not think it’s an early release date. Can someone say Wii kiosk? Keep it here.

It’s 1:30 am Where I am…
Hello gamers and good morning. I am writing this post on October 9th at 1:20 am. I was awaken by my poor little daughter with a horrible cough and fever. I am very tired but I have decided to write you guys a quick update and keep you in the loop.
October 9th seems like it may not be the day after all gamers. The last thing I want to do is give you false information, but I was told that this was the magic date for prerders for Nintendo’s wonderful Wii. I still believe that there is a chance that it may happen today because none of my informants have received anything confirming or denying what they originally heard. I do know that they will probably taking preorders on both Wii and PS3 and it is only a matter of time. I will probably know more tomorrow and as always, I will be sure to keep you guys updated.
Please keep my little one in your thoughts. Thanks again for being understanding and I will be the first one to tell you when everything will go down.
