wouldn't you think the Wii would be awesome at FPS? I could wear my Halo Spartan helmet
Well its not bad, did you try it? They have a few FPS now. Just as easy to aim, if only they could kick up the graphics a bit now

Evan, if you don't have a pre-order (and you are in fact going to be getting RB) you might want to head out sooner rather than later. At my Best Buy there was a line outside the door at 10am. I got in and got out so that I could get back to the office, so I'm not sure if they had all of their stock on the floor or not but you might run into issues later in the day once the kids get out of school and such.

I had to fend off a few moms with the "I'm willing to kill to obtain my child's Christmas present" look on their face
I preordered it a long time ago

I don't have a Wii and never played it.

Well, technically, I have a Wii, but it's wrapped up in a box for my nephews

Ugh, I've still got the damn thing sitting in my car. Need to find an excuse to leave work early.

There are a few tracks on there I'm eager to play, but really I'm excited about downloads in the future

Yeah, don't forget too that they couldn't get the master recordings for some of the songs so they're masters of covers. That may account for some of the disparity.

Yeah I'm curious how long they'll have supply for. This afternoon will be the real hit when kids are not in school and their parents are home from work. My guess is most parents arent willing to (or don't think they have to) duck out of work to go to a store and pick it up

Not that I know anyone who did that

no, it's not that, maybe the songs to me aren't all that "fun" or maybe some aren't popular with a large section of the public. I don't know if that explains it great, but I think more "party" songs would be more appealing to the general public.
