The Toys R Us hodge podge

10:46 PM on 11.18.2006   |   World Famous


Here's the rest of the Nintendo Wii pre-launch coverage from the Toys R Us in Times Square. I'm about to head back out, but this should give you a good idea of what the hell is happening there right now. Make sure to spot the Diddytoid in this one too, hehe.

You keep talking about the insanity at Times Square, but I'm really not seeing it...?

Show me a video or post a news blip about someone getting stabbed or shot while waiting in line..and maybe I'll let "insanity" slide.

I think Sony really set the bar high here... ;-)

He is saying it is insane on how everyone is everywhere, there is no order. If you are after people kiling people over consoles you are a sad person.

hehe I'm playing around.

I actually find what happened very disturbing, and various people I talked to throughout the day on campus were appalled by the violence as well.

Anyways... I have the feeling this will be a pretty violent-less launch because there's virtually no ebay incentive. There's no capitalism to make people cutthroat.

hey you didnt show the actual line! The line was about a zillion people long, went around the huge block, almost back around to the store...and that was at 9pm. If they are done selling wii's by 6:00 am I will be impressed. I couldnt bring myself to get in the line, so I'm going to best buy tomorrow morning with my prayers.

I love that atmosphere. But a bad thing for me is that i live in Romania (ok, for the ones who didn't even hear about it - Romania is a country in the Eastern Europe).
Thank you, Rob, for what Destructoid is. I love this site. Keep it up!
