after having such a crappy time trying to go out and buy stuff in person, i decided to try some online shopping. i like online shopping because you can get SO much information about stuff without feeling pressured to buy or walk between stores to compare, it's all right in front of you. however, i really do like making actual purchases in person, it's just the natural thing to do, and online shopping seems so much like i'm gonna sit here behind my computer all day and not go outside into the sun and be a total loser for the rest of my life.
but... since i was unsuccessful buying my wii games this past wednesday, i wanted to do some online pre-ordering. see, i didn't preorder wii fit or even mariokart because i figured that if there's such a low supply of wii systems, then there'd be lots of extra games out there to buy huh? but i guess those guys at nintendo were paying attention in economics class when they were talking about supply and demand (i actually only took an econ class for about a week, then switched out to FSHN, one of the best moves of my life, in retrospect, because it got me on the right track in terms of eating well and keeping fit, but i remember my econ prof. talking about ACTUAL apples vs. oranges in some supply and demand model and i couldn't take it anymore). anyway, i still can't find wii fit or mariokart anywhere (for regular price anyway, those jerks at that other store jacked up the priced like $40 more) in person or online. so i guess you really do have to preorder these things huh?
so i picked up guitar hero aerosmith, but i did my research, and lucky thing i did because i was gonna buy the whole pack, with the game plus guitar. and i had been wanting to get another guitar, i've only got one and that's no fun when people come over, but as i was shopping around, i found this:
that's the drum set for guitar hero world tour for wii! it's gonna be like rock band with two guitars, drum set, and a mic. so good thing i didn't buy rock band for wii and good thing i didn't buy the aerosmith guitar because this one's gonna come with an updated guitar too. sweet. october.
i also found that samba de amigo is coming for wii in september, woo hoo! although dang that monkey is ugly. but i remember this being a really fun game, and no extra equipment needed so i'll pick this one up definately. but i guess this is how it's gonna be now, gotta preorder all my wii games. too bad, that's extra shipping, but i can't stand that gamestop store so maybe it's worth a little extra to have to not deal with their incompetence. plus, then i can do all my research and make myself some smart decisions. go me.
