I didn't pre-order. I didn't decide to buy one until the day after the release.

I just rocked up to EB Eastland and walked out with one.

I didn't buy any games from there. At $110 each they can jam it.

You know what man i probably should have buggered going for the best deal out and gone to target... you know what you get instead of a free game (that no one really would pay cash for)

NO LINES!!!! Great move might still do this ..... this 9 days is long enough to wait without waiting in line

Console at Toys R Us, Wii Play, Nunchuck, Classic Controller and Zelda at EB, Marvel and Red Steel at Gameswarehouse, and i will pick up Raymond and mayb somethin else on the day!!! Mayb Kmart or Target so i can spread around a bit more. (would be JB, but there aint 1 at Joondie, and i dont wanna spend the hole day moving around). Nintendo shud release the Hardware and games the day b4 like 360, made everything alot easy. People just picked up console on the day cause they bought everything earlier.

EB have always sold me games cheaper if i've shown them a lower price from another store. I don't understand why they wouldn't this time.I'm gonna bring a cliping of the lowest price i can find and if the don't beat it i'll make a scene in front of everyone and demand my money back unless they beat the price. So if you've pre-ordered at sunshine be ready for a show. BWAHAHAHA!!! ....No seriously i will do it.

I know we've had this poll before, but its almost release, so everyone who wanted to preorder would have preordered, so this is a kind of indication of which is the most popular, or who has the best deal... So vote away
