I would like to get both but I won't until prices go down. I might buy a PS3 at launch just to resell. But I keep thinking with my luck I wouldn't make much money off of it. I will still try and get one though. Who knows maybe I can double my money.

I thought so too, but it wont happend. They will launch 30 old Nintendo game, i guess 10-15 are NES games and these will cost from $5 - $10. They will add new games each month, but they said only about 10 (this can change). So in most cases, buying the original game will be cheaper since they will only add the most popular games like Mario etc. to start wtih, atleast i assume so.

Rare games are collector items so these prices wont go down because of Wii. All the NES games have been easily avalible for free download on the net for years now, still it havnt affected the price. People prefer the originals

I am going to TRY and get both.  I want to get a PS3 now just to resale as soon as I buy it.  If I can do that, I hope to pay for my Wii with money from the PS3, and maybe even make a little profit.  Not sure if I will be that lucky or not. If not, I will get a Wii anyway.  That will be my parting gift before I stop buying game stuff for a year or 2.

If they pre order you are wasting your time.  The Best Buys here don't though, it is first come first served.  The launched it Nov 17, 2 days before the Wii.  But I heard today that they may be pushing there launch back be a few days cause of some problems.  Not sure if that is certain yet, but it is what I heard.

Does anyone have any idea about how early you would need to camp out to get a system?  I myself have never done it before, so I have no clue.  If it does release the 17th that's a Friday, and I don't have classes that day.  I would be free at 3 on Thursday, so I could camp starting then.  Would that be enough?  And how the heck do you go to the bathroom?

you dont go to the bathroom.

and it just depends on how big a town you live in as to what time you should get there.

well my walmart is different. this what they did with the 360. we had to stand outside in the cold and rain until 7:00 when they opened the doors. then  they gave us tickets as we entered.

Exactly, my Walmart is 24 hours also, all the ones around here are.  Previously they made you set near the layaway dept in the back cause it closes pretty early.  They didn't do tickets or anything so you had to stay in line.  I would take a buddy just to be safe and play some 2 player DS action.
