How'd it go? I don't have any Wally Worlds around here, but if they're getting it Monday, that means I haven't lost all hope for getting it on the day it's supposed to be out.

Really? That almost sounds too good to be true, $25 per purchase would be a lot out of Toys R Us' pocket. Where are you at, exactly? Judging by the "down.....THERE" location and the Kangaroo avatar, I'm guessing Australia, but I've been wrong before.

Nope, not Australia, but dont worry your're only off by about......oh....HALF THE GLOBE

. I'm currently situated in Illinois. The "Somewhere down there!" statement is a reference to a scene from Spaceballs (a fantastic film, I might add) while the avatar, well, I just find it quite hilarious. If you'd like, I could scan a copy of the advertisement to display here.

***EDIT***
Ta-da! Here you go.

Called my Wally World. Galaxy is in stock. I will go buy it in a little while.

EDIT: Got it! Will open now, and don't expect to hear from me for awhile.

Lucky bastard!

Mario just called me an hour or so ago to let me know "itâ€™s-a going to be here tomorrow at your local GameStop."

I can't wait! Even though I'll probably wait until Thursday, the start of a 3-day weekend for me, to get started, I'll probably play it a bit before then, if I can knock off this homework load in time.

Geez if I wanted to play it I'd have to go sink the money for an entire system since I don't have a Wii... Well, I WAS waiting until they had a larger library of games I wanted to play. Does Blockbuster still rent out entire game systems, or did they stop that years ago? The last time I saw somebody rent a system from them was back in the SNES days so I may be behind the times on that one.

You can probably rent a Wii from a local rental center, if they rent out electronics. But renting is such a waste, just save your cash and get the actual system.

did any yall like my handson?

Just got it. This game is INCREDIBLE!

Could possibly be one of the greatest games of all time, it's that good. Probably won't be posting much for the next week or so.

Though did anyone else get a second GameStop call after the Mario one? I got the normal automated voice, but it said Galaxy would be coming out tomorrow, not today, and that it was rated "M" for Mature and that I needed to be 17 or older to purchase it.

I'll be picking up this game later in the week. I can't wait!

Been playing this yesterday and today, and it is AMAZING! You owe it to yourself to play this game if you own a Wii. If you don't have one, get one.

Seriously though, Galaxy is amazing. The graphics look perfect, it gives the same feel of Mario 64 with everything improved. It's everything Sunshine should have been (not to diss Sunshine, I still like the game a lot).

I'd say more, but I'm too eager to go back to playing it! Kthxbye

Best game I have played this year. It beats GoW, HL:2 ep2, and even gasp* Bioshock.

I'm up to 45 stars, holding myself back.
