    There has to be more Wiis coming by Christmas. Even if it is in lesser amounts. That 1 Wii thing still baffles me though. Just try every time a new shipment comes in. I guess that's all you can do. T_T;

    Good luck

    Andy? Mork? I'm playing for you guys.

    There's going to be more. But still, me and Robo have bad luck with these things. XD
    *Throws a Rock at Triffy* Oh hush you, you're making it worse XD. Unless..... unless you want to send the Wii down to Robos for a week, then he sends it to me and I play it for a week. And then I sent it back. XD

    yeah, I read somewhere theres supposed to be at least another 400,000 (not sure on the exact figure) coming into the US before the end of the year.

    I do hope it's far far more then 400K. I mean...
    https://www.gamespot.com/news/6162373.html
    And that's only 8 days of sells (well that's for Canada, the US and Mexico), so we better see more then 400,000.


    Oh, and Brawl has a few new screens.

    I caught it as I was shutting my PC down, so I wasn't sure and now I'm correcting myself

    but I have proof!

    'Gotta-have' product

    Nintendo says it will ship four million Wii units across the US and Canada by the end of the year, while Sony has a target of one million.

    Reggie on some Wii things (like when MP3:C will come out, SMG, SSBB, some on PBR, online stuff etc).

    Some PBR (Pokemon Battle Revolution) screens. I think for a Pokemon game they look pretty good.

    If you got the internet speed then download/watch "Xbox 360 vs. PS3 vs. Wii Comparison". It's the graphics, to show the difference in all three systems. Get the HD one if you can (shows it at the best). I do hope they're running the Wii on component cables.
    Well, there is a difference in all three. Some places a pretty big difference. Like the Wii is way more fuzzy, a little choppy and so on. But to me, I think it held up well. I mean sure I'm not going to kid myself going "OMG the Wii looks as good as the PS3 and 360". But it looks like it'll be good enough.

    • The DVD-enabled Wii is coming soon? o.O I thought IGN said Fall 2007. Maybe not, I dunno.

    Oh, and Arcanine, you have a grammar mistake in your friends list.

    • I played Wii Bowling at Birmingham Bull Ring the other weekend, and the controls are fantastic. Honestly, it took me a couple of throws to get used to it, after that it was just like bowling at a real alley. They were very intuitive and just a joy to play with. I'm thankful that I only have to wait about a week to get my hands on my very own Wii.

    I don't think NoA ever said "The Wii will have DVD Playback Fall of 07" and if they did then it likely wasn't set in stone (because you can see what Reggie said). For me, DVD playback isn't that big a thing. I got my laptop, there's a ton of DVD players in the house and so on.

    And if you mean "then" where it should be "than" then I know. XD
    I NEVER say "than". It's how I really talk (I don't say "than" IRL), and it's also one of my online things. It's like me saying "yea" when it should be "yeah". XD

    Congrats on getting to play it. I bet it was killer to get to swing the Wiimote for the first time.

    You're lucky that you know you'll be getting one in a week. Poor me and Robo are still without one and by the looks of it we won't be getting one anytime soon.


    Oh and I so forgot to post this in my last post. But happy late birthday Sam X. You feeling old? XD

    • Why didn't you pre-order a Wii like most people though? I wasn't going to pre-order one but my brother wanted one as well and I passed GAME one day and thought "Screw it, best not take any chances" and pre-ordered two, safe in the knowledge that I'll definitely be getting one.

    Also, if you're that insanely desperate, there's always eBay.

    Read the final quote (the one from Klonoa) and read my reply. I think that'll pretty much answer your question. XD

    eBay... yea sure...

    ..Fair enough XD I'm surprised pre-orders were so difficult to get, they were piss easy for me. I love being English XD

    I don't know why they were sold hard to get. EBGames did pre-orders and I got two around here. And Toys R Us did pre-orders as well. Both were sold out (Well, one of them EBs had 2 left, but it's a 30 min drive. So I couldn't get over there in time).

    I mean like I said before. We were all shocked by how well the Wii sold (it's been almost 2 weeks and many of us are still without a Wii). It might be the same over there in Europe. Sure you got your pre-orders so you're ok. But you guys might also have a total sold out like we did over here.

    Actually, you're right. I just looked on the GAME website, where I pre-ordered mine from, and they've already sold their entire allocation of Wii's. And they're the biggest gaming company on England, yet they've sold out in every single store. I'm glad I pre ordered now XD
