I was going to wait till next year to get a Wii. But it just looks too damn awesome, so I pre-ordered mine the other day.
Australia doesn't get it till Dec 7 =[

Yeah, because you know, Sam Walton and his devil offspring don't deserve to have 120 dollars taken from them. It'd be crushing.

Respect++

I refuse to steal from TRU, even when I find a $10 Gift Card lying around.

I did find $10 in cash on the ground, far from the registers, that I pocketed however. But that's a little different.

OMG SIX DAYS LEFT!

Do you work for Wal-mart?

From what I heard it's company policy to allow returns without receipts during holiday season.
2006-11-13, 11:08 AM #51
I do, and I'm the guy that gets called over when customers at the service desk aren't happy with some decision that was made. I hate that aspect of my job. Basically, the service desk part of my job is to catch as much **** falling from the crevices of our customers' orifices as possible before it touches management. By the time a salaried manager is needed, they'll give customers whatever the hell they want just to get them out of the store.

There are no seasonal exceptions in Wal-Mart's return policy. However, that's not saying much because management can make exceptions any time they feel like it. Wal-Mart's policy is pretty lenient as far as returning merchandise without a receipt (year-round). Anything under fifty dollars that isn't drugs, makeup, or electronics will almost always be returned without a receipt. Merchandise over fifty dollars requires an override from a higher-up, and as long as everything's O.K. that shouldn't be a problem either. If you're trying to return opened software or music, you may exchange it for the same thing. If that is unacceptable, I suggest finding a pawn shop or video game exchange. If what you're returning is a gift, we're pretty lenient. But don't expect to return, say, a plasma T.V., laptop, or PS3 without a receipt.

Also, we will deny more than three no-receipt returns in a six-month period. The fourth time, we will deny the return. We will also deny the return if you have any bad checks on file.

No, it is not. (i believe we australians get it a day before you euro people (dec. 7th) so :p .

(just about 21 days left)

I got myself the console and zelda preordered.

I have seen people pick on zelda by saying it looks like a previous gen game, only to get laughed at when someone points out that it is a last gen game, that has just been modified to use the wiimote and nunchuck.

I know Sam Walton is dead. His children have inherited the company however.

And exactly, it won't affect ANYONE. Except you.

There is definately some law breaking going on. You're deceiving the business.
2006-11-13, 4:07 PM #59
Technically, since Wal-mart doesn't make any money on the system in the first place, there is (financially) no difference to them if you return the system for the full ticket price.

Unless, of course, you use the extra money to buy something with your employee discount.

So, how bout that Wii, eh?

Looks like a great system, but I'm going to wait for a few reviews as well, and I want to give it a go at a retail store before I invest in it.

Still though, Zelda + Metroid + SSB:B = Win in my book.

Well, the first reviews in some European magazine gave Red Steel a very nice 90% and Super Monkey Ball a respectable 85%, sounds good to me. o:

Well I'm not going to be able to get one until at least christmas...
Say, Vinny, can I play with your Wii? I am a terrible person.

-I'm gonna get... Red Steel and Brawl, most likely. Hasn't Factor 5 declared the Wii a no-go for future RS games? Too bad. I hope they start making them for the computer again.

That argument is over.

Now, as far as the Wii, I'm getting Zelda and possibly Red Steel.

Brawl isn't a launch title...

YAY WII


Primus then Wii?! Not fair at all... :argh:

I'm going to wait a little while. The Wii is definitely on my list of things to get.

If I get a Wii, it won't be until Brawl comes out.

But not many of the other games are really grabbing my attention enough to drop $250 on another console, ~$100-$150 on a bunch of controllers, and then $50/game.

It's either a Wii or nothing, though.

[QUOTE=The Mega-ZZTer]Brawl isn't a launch title...[/QUOTE]
And I'm not a launch purchaser.

-When it comes out, Wii, Red Steel, and Brawl. In the future, probably Zelda, the new Tony Hawk, definitely Mario Galaxy (I have a 64 and a Game Cube but I never bought Mario 64 or Sunshine)... and, if they ever get around to a Star Wars game, that too.
2006-11-14, 12:21 PM #78
The launch titles I'm gonna get are Rayman Raving Rabbids and Twighlight Princess
2006-11-14, 2:10 PM #79
I'm getting Zelda for sure. Others I am considering include Super Monkey Ball, Rayman Raving Rabbits, and maybe Red Steel.

SMB for the MP - Red Steel I'll wait for more reviews. RRR I might wait since Zelda is supposed to take so long.
2006-11-14, 3:17 PM #80
if i get the Wii i'll definately get zelda
