Aada, please, if you cant say something nice, dont say anything at all.
Every single, fucking, thread, you pop up slagging off anything that dosn't have uber HD gfx and cost more than a kidney transplant.

It's called an opinion you donkey something the world is full of, i wasn't being nasty to anyone so either put up or shut up.

Also you're one to talk popping up in threads and making pot shots at me take some of you're own advice for once.

Bit worried now, Amazon says the est delivery is 13th December even though they said if you order a royal mail 1st delivery u will get it on the 8th, so its making me wonder, that I will prolly get it next week and not on launch day.

Amazon are awful with new releases. Ordered my 360 from there and it wasn't dispatched until Saturday.

Just had phone call from Argos to confirm mine is coming on Friday - yay - decided on Raving Rabbits and Wii play, still fancy Red Steel but my other half got Gears of War to finish before he can have another shooter :)

aye, I left it a bit late though, dunno if a 1 day auction is a bit short. But then most of the bidding takes place in the last 3 hours or so, so we'll see I guess.

im gonna queue for a wii and hopefully get one, what games should I get?

Im guessing zelda is a good idea, what other ones? are there good multiplayer?

I dont really know anything about the wii, but i think I want games that make good use of the controller because thats the whole reason im so interested in it :D

Go to tesco my tesco extra which is only 100ish meters from my house are selling them tomorrow at midnight.

They are getting around 30 consoles and my mate is the manager so he is putting 5 or so aside for us.

Zelda is an obvious choice maybe that Monkey Ball game the rest are just meh tbh ;/ there is a great selection of arcade games though.

Pre-ordered mine from play yonks ago and got the mail most people got about orders not being fulfilled.

Then pre-ordered from eBuyer.com. Their buyer has been on the forums keeping everyone informed. My Wii is in the warehouse and will be shipped out tomorrow for Friday delivery. Zelda and Red Steel (Damn them putting Warioware back to January) are currently being packed by Play.

Father has got one pre-ordered with Gamestation and has been invited to the midnight launch to pick his up. Still contemplating whether to go or not.

So come Friday, with both mine and the old mans to hand, we should be able to try out all the 2 player action in the Wii Sports package :D

Had my 360 since release day last year and have only played a bit really. Started playing more since getting the HDTV last week and finished Gears of War yesterday evening.

PS3 doesn't interest me at all until the price drops. So probably get one Christmas 2008.

Anyone who doesn't want a wii is drunk or too far gone.

Please if you are going to do drunken typing or attempts at it, please remember that we have been reading Brooky and Yaka's attempts at typing for years.

Should I be worried that I have 0 bids with 9 hours left to go?

Will normal tescos be getting them in? Theres two near me but I dont think they are 'extra'....

Not interested in Wii in the slightest. I REALLY don't fancy waving a glorifed TV Remote around making a fat Italian Plumber jumping over Turtle Shells for the rest of eternity.

Instead you'll be waving a neutered dualshock about making whatever nondescript character jump around in the PS3 instead ;)

On-line retailers are reporting serious shortages of games - so I guess it's out in the rain and cold tomorrow to hunt down Rayman and Wii play :(

Round our wat they said that there are plenty of consoles but controllers and games are in short supply.
