In the hour I had with it I got some great system menu and Wii Sports time in.  I didn't open the games as I had to make sure Jonny gets it tomorrow but I had a lot of fun.

Did you give it a good name?  Edit: And leave messages questioning Johnny's manhood?
That's my opinion, not yours.

A super secret name!

Jonny can change it though if he wants.

Oh quit throwing your fancy new name in our faces.  (Guess I asked for it).

Oh and no messages, cause I didn't explore that part, but a bunch of Miis are in there.

ARGH, anticipation just broke the 10/10 barrier.  I may have to stop visiting gaming sites for the next week.

That must be the name of the Wii.

I'm jealous you guys are getting it.  Though I'm glad because that means you can have reviews up.

Gamespot's live Wii marathon is going live in about 10-15 minutes from now.

EDIT: The feed has already started.

The feed wasn't working for me so all I could do was hear them having SO MUCH FUN.  This is torture.

Monkey Ball looks awesome... my list of wanted lauch games continue to increase.

No Amaray case for Wii Sports though? Bah...

EDIT: These guys really didn't know that you couldn't control the players in Wii Tennis until now? That you could only swing the racket? ...wow...

The craziest part of Wii tennis is playing one or two player.  It clones your Mii for your teammate and you control both of you as a doubles team!

Some things I've learned watching the live feed:

-Monkey Ball looks like amazing multiplayer fun
-I had Excite Truck as my secondary launch purchase, but I'm bumping that down to a rental
-Wii Sports looks MUCH more fun than I anticipated; golf looks especially great
-Zelda is Zelda
-Must buy Charlie's Angels for GC before I die
-Either the Gamespot editors are good actors, or are the most uninformed professionals ever concerning anything Wii related
-Gotta make sure I keep quality batteries on hand for the remotes if they're gonna crap out that easily

The games look fantastic, but those guys are very obnoxious...

I listen to GameSpot's podcast every week, and although they are funny guys and I enjoy their multiplatform coverage, they are generally not well informed about Nintendo matters.

Heh, not to mention they seemed to be having trouble with the controllers, didn't know whether or not you could move the characters in Tennis, didn't seem to know anything about Excitetruck. "The ground's moving?! Crazy?" "What do the stars mean?" They didn't seem to understand the boost system at all.

I just thought they'd be a bit more well informed. *shrug*
