Went out searching for a Wii tonight.  Steve wants one.  He says he wants it mostly because you can't get it.  He's a perfect marketing target!  LOL  I'm on the fence about it.  I've always liked Nintendo but the only game I'd be interested in right now is Mario just because it's Mario.  I didn't see too many others that caught my eye.

Didn't matter though because NO ONE had it.  Not Best Buy, not EBGames, not Wal-Mart, not Target.  Target said they'd have them in five weeks.  EBGames said almost no one has them though they heard that K-Mart had three this morning.  No big deal.

The big news: while in Best Buy, they had a demo of Guitar Hero II.  It had vaguely peaked my interest so I picked it up and tried it.  Five minutes in I was hooked.  Completely addicted.  I thought Steve was going to have to drag me out of the store.  I was completely kicking ass playing Sweet Child of Mine, Cherry Pie and You Really Got Me.  It took a bit for me to pick it up but once I did, damn, I didn't want to put it down.

Think DDR only instead of hitting the buttons with the dance pad, you use the guitar.

So we looked around Best Buy.  They had the guitar, but not the game.  Went to EBGames, they had neither.  They told us that was the other thing no one had.  Went Wal-Mart, same thing.  Finally, we followed the advice that the EBGames guy had given us and stopped at K-Mart because nobody thinks to go to K-Mart for video game stuff.  And as I'm rounding the corner, I see three guitar hero boxes on top of the games section and they're white not black, which I immediately knew meant they were the 360 version.  I'm yelling 'Shut up! No way!' and almost jumping up and down.  And Steve tells me to grab it and wishes me a Happy Birthday (which is technically a week from Monday).

I'm elated at this point, walking out of the store with it under my arm, grinning.

Then he tells me that I can't play it until my birthday!  And he's serious!  And he took it and hid it in the closet.  And I'm pouting because I want it, but he says that's the point, I'll want it even more.  And he explains that he was hoping they had a demo at Best Buy because he was pretty sure I'd like it, but he wanted to be sure.

So yay for awesome boyfriends.  But boo for boyfriends making me wait until my birthday!
