[i]Retailer GameStop confirmed to The Wiire today that Wii pre-orders for North America will begin Friday, October 13.

While Wii games have been available for pre-order for a few weeks now, Friday will mark the first time GameStop has opened up pre-orders on the hardware. In order to make a pre-order, gamers will need to go to a local GameStop or EB Games and ask to put down a set amount of money (between $25 and $50) on a Wii. The money placed on a pre-order goes towards the final price of the product[/i]

UPDATE: This has been confirmed by an official announcement by GameStop!

I heard that one of our two Gamestops here will only have 40 Wii's to pre-order. Fourty! This is a college town with like 20,000 college students alone! That's not enough!!! I will have to camp out maybe.

Oh, and I didn't put it here to begin with because I just kind of had the idea that the News Board was for more experienced members.

most rediculous crap ever, my gamestop will only be taking 18 preorders, meaning ill have to be there at like 7 AM or earlier to make sure I get one.

[Two-One-Zero 0]

Yup, I just came from gamestop. Tomorrow I'm reserving it for sure.

I don't really care about the Wii right now, I just want TwiPri.

By the way, if anyone pre-ordered the GC version, how long ago was it? I went to Gamestop in May 05 to seal the deal right off, of course, I didn't know that Nintendo was going to screw me out of it until Winter the next year... <_<

It's funny, I kept the pre-order receipt and I still have it in my wallet.

[True Gamer 19]

The reciept didn't fade? :blink: My SSBM reciept faded in a month!

I might as well buy the Wii version, since I plan on getting the Wii...

[Chroenix 0]

Waaaaahh!

I'm stuck in school! I can't get my pre-order in!

*cries* Curse, Education Board!
