Pre-ordered my Nintendo Wii today for £20 at my local Gamestation.
Release date is apparently 8th December and the console will retail at £179.99. Games will be £35-£40. I guess that could change between now and then however.
May the NFOrce be with you always.

Everyone can squeeze some Wii gametime in! Get a more positive attitude. |

no Nintendo releases quality products. I never heard of gcn/n64 crashing/dying. Their ds had typical flaws like dead pixels. And DS lite cracks cause people go over the fold point. I think. But Nindy is willing to replace them. 
sTo0z, I guess. If anything I’ll buy a week or two after release. I hope it won’t be sold out.  I might as well wait for you to tell me everything about it. That and I will read IgayN’s and gayspots reviews. I just know that every review will bitch at the graphics.

I will consider getting one but no way will it be on the launch date. I didn't get the 360 on it's launch date either.

I believe the only huge failure for Nintendo was the Virtual Boy. |

I want one but ain't getting it straight away. I want to see some ray of hope in cracking it, as i don't think i could afford £40 per game. If they don't crack it, or its too much hassle to get it done once they do it, i'll wait til the 2nd hand games market prices drop a bit and get one then. Like i did with the GC.

I am just wondering loud here. I work a 75 hour a week job,own a PSP, 360 and a gaming PC. I spend roughly an hour on weekdays and 3-4 hours on weekends gaming. So what exactly is the point in getting one more console????? My wife is being very accommodating else I would have been institutionalized a long time back!!!!

i am a gamer so i say fuck the wii. i want games like final fantasy that blow your mind but nintendo see to want to break into children and dads and grandmas with gimmick games (brian train) so they make more money at expense of people who kept nintendo alive over the years. it is sad to see especially with so little exclusives on the proper consoles.

My local shops, EB, Gamestop, Game Crazy, aren't taking any Pre Orders on PS3 or the wii. With the 360 shortages last year, they had a lot of problems with people that didn't get their consoles on time. They all said they had to wait and see what kind of allocation they were going to get before allowing them.

No, GC version is left-handed.

ebgames.com is about to announce their online pre-order system, which is going to be bundled packages. |

Thanks for the info. The bundles are really a big turn off for me as they try to force too much product down your throat at once. I don't want to spend a $1000 dollars, I just want a couple of games. |
