I had a dream about Wii last night...I haven't had a dream about an upcoming system since N64. My anticipation level is high-high-high!!

I had a Wii dream too, i went shopping but it was sold out!

I want a Wii dream too - unfortunately, I've only had 2 or 3 videogame related dreams ever..

Wii units and games are ready to roll off the line

My question.... why does the warehouse/facility need huge promo posters?! (Maybe they're just being held there?)

I like the white and gold Zelda disk look.

The worst is anticipating something when you're high, cuz then you get all paranoid and well yeah...

I want one of those posters for my room.

Well, now there's 10 days remaining!

More precisely, some people may be able to secure them in less than that, so technically it'd be like 9 days and some hours. Can you imagine? Some of us have waited a couple years or so, and now it's down to single digits of days. SINGLE DIGITS.

According to the countdown clock, 9 days 12 hours 48 minutes.

Someone could do the world a favor by tearing off the DO NOT OPEN till 11/19 stickers.

ThePerm · « **Reply #60 on:** November 12, 2006, 09:13:22 AM »

6 days 10 hours 49 minutes

ThePerm · « **Reply #61 on:** November 13, 2006, 09:48:34 AM »

5 days 10 hours 14 minutes!!!

This wouldn't suck so bad if I wasn't as insanely bored right now...

vudu · « **Reply #63 on:** November 13, 2006, 09:57:09 AM »

That'll teach you to sell your copy of Contact!

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #64 on:** November 13, 2006, 10:08:20 AM »

I was insanely bored with Contact which is why I sold it, though.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #65 on:** November 13, 2006, 10:59:54 AM »

I was afraid to buy Contact for that very reason. It looked good, but it was an RPG. I feared it would go the same way as Earthbound for me (getting bored and never finishing), so I didn't buy it.

The closer we get to the launch, the more people I see joining the boards.

The Wii is going to be huge, with that many people playing with it how can it not be?

So in 3 minuntes we will be 5 days 6 hours from the launch.

IceCold · « **Reply #67 on:** November 13, 2006, 12:04:32 PM »

Yeah, the boards are rockin'.. I love it!

Intense Meteor Shower Expected November 18 @ 11:45 PM

I got that from NintendoWiiFanboy.com. Apparently the Leonid meteors are excited about the Wii that they're gonna burn up with anticipation. Or from friction in the atmosphere.

The expected time of peak activity is 11:45 p.m. EST on the night of Nov. 18. In US, the shower will only be visible on the east coast, in the eastern sky.

Looks like you New Yorkers will have something to watch during your midnight launch line-up. Or if you're still camping out anyway. 150 Leonids streaking across the sky in an hour! Whoa. That could be intense.

Sweeeeeet, although standing there in the parking lot of Walmart isn't the ideal viewing area....with all the lights, I doubt anything will be visible =(

The coincidence is cool though =D

Switchblade Cross · « **Reply #70 on:** November 13, 2006, 04:31:01 PM »

Wow, that is quite a coincidence. I distinctly remember a meteor shower for the night of the GameCube release...

Zach · « **Reply #71 on:** November 13, 2006, 06:34:09 PM »

4 days, 23 hours, 26 minutes, 36 seconds

Secret of the Release dates is revealed.

Maybe you can get them to turn them off for ya.

Griffin · « **Reply #73 on:** November 13, 2006, 06:47:21 PM »

Meteor showers generally happen every year during the same rough window (it's over a few days to a week, the peak is probably on the 18th). It's possible that the Leonids were going on at the time of the GC launch, but it might not have been peak time.

At any rate, still keep an eye up there... even in a lit parking lot, you can still see the BIG ones (which can get crazy).

Ceric · « **Reply #74 on:** November 13, 2006, 06:49:11 PM »

lol. I live on the outskirts of a small town now. I use to leave in the historic district of a big town. I could see the stars better in the big town. Go figure. I hope I can see these.
