lol, alot of U.S. gamers probably have the same wait, fortunately I was able to get one after waiting 9 hours in line.  It was worth every freaking minute!

Too poor right now. I got burned by a store that I was going work at. So now I am in a race to a new job after an imposed holiday.

I hope I never see that guy again or murder be done. Or atleast a swift kick around the head.

Bah, my Wii is still "stuck" in Cali.
Amazon took a week to ship it to my friend and he hasn't been able to send it yet.
Man, I feel so unlucky...

After doing my research i am 98% certain it's going to sell out by 1201am on December 8. Sadly for me, the games will arrive before the console does. At least the place i'm getting it from is next to london bridge, so i can literally go straight home and play.

Amazon.co.uk sold out of their entire pre-order in 7 minutes, beat that!

Actually, Amazon.com sold out of their launch units in less than 30 seconds. I know for a fact, I was there, spent the whole day on the comp and snatched one (got very lucky, for once!).
Now I want to play with my Nintendo Wii, I can't wait anymooooore!

It's hard to believe I'm the only obsessive nerd 'round these parts that has too many issues to stomach standing in a Wal-Mart for 12+ hours, complete with a gaggle of creepy strangers hovering around the whole time.

Ignore Mario, he's counting for the wrong continent.

My tolerance for waiting is about 5 minutes so if I can't get a Wii with that I won't get a Wii and instead do something more fun with that time.

Finally got an email through from Gamestation confirming my pre-order. I'm Still completely undecided whether to actually pick one up. I was actually going to cancel the pre-order but then I just couldn't go through with it - it felt wrong...

Yeah I had major difficulties trying to get a Wii on Amazon.co.uk that morning. Well I ended up not getting one actually. Luckily Smyths had some. (It's an irish toy shop chain I don't think you have any in the rest of the UK. Slight perk of living in NI I guess). So just have to take the day off and go to the shop as it opens at 9am. Can't wait!!!!!!!!

btw thejeek whats making you want to cancel your preorder?

Lots of stuff - not convinced by launch titles, doubts about the controller, think machine is overpriced for what's inside it, just don't have the excitement I felt about the Cube. I'm going to give it six months or so and see how the software line up is starting to look - when both Super Mario Galaxy and Metriod Prime 3 are released and reviewed and it's clear how developers and publishers are treating the system and how the remote is being used, then I'll reconsider.

Right now I think it's probably fairer to let someone who wants one badly to get it really - there's no point in me depriving someone else of one when I'm not that excited.

YAY! My Wii is finally here!!! (well, at the post office, I have to wait for a little more than an hour to get it)
So that means I'm still getting it a day early than European launch. Oh joy.

Do you have one and want to get extras or is that your first one you're talking about?
