The Official 'Countdown to Wii' Thread!

I ordered mine with zelda from the 7minute sellout place, I was sat there refreshing immensely fast and I got a pre-order, It'll be arriving on the 14th apparently, I can't wait. :D
 
Why is it arriving on the 14th? My brother got his pre-order from that same place (educated guess it's the same one) and his delivery estimate is the 8th.

If it’s the same place I am thinking of he must have chosen the free delivery.

They always do that, if you don’t chose first class posting they seem to always send out your order later
 
I'm sure my brother said he went for the free option, he had no reason to pay for delivery as he won't be around.
 
Presumably they had 'batches' available... 14th seems a common date for second batches.

Could anyone answer my earlier question? Would I be able to take back a sealed Cars game to any retailer and ask for an exchange (and blag that it was from there, but I lost the receipt). Thinking of the oft obliging supermarkets...
 
Probably, cant be certain though. I did it with Tiger Woods 06 for the 360 last Xmas, had two copies so took one back to a highstreet gaming store and exchanged it for Condemned.

Certainly worth a shot :)

I think so, if I can't get one from a supermarket on midnight. At least I do have a guaranteed console to fall back on :)

You can always sell on MM or ebay and get most of the money back, like you said the console is the most important bit :)

I'd be getting Cars for £30 effectively, just would rather not have the hassle of trying to sell **** lol :)
 
Does anyone know if they've fixed the problem with that firmware update that killed a lot of the American Wii's yet?

The latest issue of the Official Nintendo Magazine has info about the PAL Wii, and out of the box it comes with the latest firmware (2.0 IIRC). So the update bug is no longer a problem.
 
Still no news on any bundles for our pre-order :(. I doubt the store will do a midnight opening either, since it's in a shopping centre. I can't wait for Friday though :).
 
I phoned our store, its in a shopping center too, there not doing a midnight launch. Instead there opening a bit earlier (only an hour or two)

There ringing people midweek to confirm what bundles they want and so on

I ordered mine from [competitor], will they be sending out before the 8th so will all get it on the day? :s

I hope so, this will be my first Nintendo ever :o

I'm really looking forward to it.

Already received Call of Duty 3 from them lol!

I have also ordered Zelda and Red Steel

Just got a 32" white samsung tv too, so component cables are a must!!!!!

Pics will be up next Friday night.

You might want to edit that. Anywhere that sells 360s is now a competitor.
 
Yeah good question, havent looked into the online gaming service of the Wii, how does it work?

Im hoping a lot of the games are going to be online enabled anyway, be a shame otherwise

I phoned the store I preordered mine from and I was told the same so I'm guessing we both went to a store with the same name. :D
