Just here to vent against Nintendo

This is not really a "hey look what's going on with the family", it is more of a "COME ON!!" post...



As many people know, Arin and I are part of the Nintendo Wii phenomenon, and one of the games i have been looking forward to for 6-8 months, Wii Fit, I thought was supposed to launch today. so I went to Best Buy, which by the way was the only place I could still pre-order a copy, and put up my $5 for a deposit, and patiently waited for 5/19/08 to roll around.



This morning I couldn't find my wallet before work, which should have been my first sign that something was awry. So I went to work without my wallet, and just a book of checks for get my long awaited video game. Lunch finally rolled around, do I took off to Best Buy. I grabbed my receipt, and the little reminder card THAT SAID PICK UP MAY 19 2008 mind you, and walked in. I went up to the customer service counter like the instructions said, and the guy went back to get my game for me.

I watched him as he walked up empty handed, and began to tell me that Nintendo pushed the release date back to Wednesday 5/19, so I had to wait TWO MORE DAYS!! I now have a feeling that I know a little bit more about how the Burmese people feel, having to wait for food and aid. My issues may be a bit of a smaller scale, but it is still frustrating.

I really hope that Nintendo gets with it and actually sticks with a scheduled release date so people who have pre-ordered items and expected them in a timely manner recieve them.

I told you htat this blog may have some geeky and non-news worthy posts, and this shall be one of them. Thanks for letting me vent!
