Of course, this doesn't mean as much to the unlucky people who won't be getting one... :/

I'll just mooch off people who get one

6 DAYS TO WII!!

man, am i excited!! :D

Its going to be wii-tacular!

5 MORE DAYS TO GO!

Gah!  I've been looking forward to this for faaaaaaaaar too long! :O

i've already got a game to pick up tomorrow afternoon, which is kinda strange. :S

*pretends not to be excited*

4 STINKING DAYS
 8O
I'm gonna pull my hair out in anticipation!
*ow!*

Lucky for you guys, it won't arrive in Europe for another month. *cries a bucket of tears* BOOHOOHOO!!!

its okay SteC, i forgot to preorder one :'( which means i won't get one till next year...
but that doesn't mean i ain't excited!
FYI: hair pulling hurts...

i'm so looking forward to Sunday, i actually had a dream about getting a Wii last night!

oh, and earlier today, i actually saw a Wii and Excite Truck on display (but, where'd the controller go? :S) you should see the size of that thing. it is tiny!

must've been one heck of a dream :D
BTW...ONLY 3 MORE DAYS!  ;)
I can see it now, children and grandparents unite under the Wii...

yeah, what's the size, like 3 stacked dvd cases?8) it can go just about anywhere!

Guh~ Gonna be hunting this weekend.
Hope to find some time to get one though. If not, well, I'll... Cry to Polly. ... Or maybe just wait an get one later.  :P

Tiny enough to fit in my TV cabinet, I guess. That's exactly where I want it at!

i just hope i'll have plenty of space in my semi-cramped bedroom. :S

Guess what?
2 MORE DAYS!

hey, ps3 released today, with a planned 1 million units by the end of the year ::)
nintendo reports 4 million units by the end of the year :D
not to mention the $250-350 difference... ;-)

yeah, you're right ;)
i happen to be a sega and nintendo fanboy, so my opinion's bound to be biased.  the ps3 has amazing capabilities, just a little out of my scope on price.  i like to compare gameplay, and the Wii promises a revolution in gameplay, so i'll always back my money on it

so far, reviewers that have test drived it have said that they were initially skeptical, but after a couple minutes recquired outside forces to tear them away from the Wii

earlier this evening, i got a call from EB Games (and Nintendo of America). actually, they left a message, saying that they'll be keeping the store open at midnight tomorrow night. so, i'll just have to get there an hour before midnight so i can pick up my Wii!  :D

talk about service!

1 DAY LEFT!
can we make it a little while longer? 8O

five more hours!  :D

wach the wii launch live in new york.

OMG its the 19th!

operation "Wii Would Like to Play" was a success!  :D

PS3: Prepare for trouble.
Wii: And make that double.

Horray! The New Console Wars have officially begun!

Let's get ready to RUUUUUUMBULLLLLLLLE!!!!!

people, i have an announcement

4 score and some 12 odd hours ago, a new generation of gaming appeared.  Here, in America, we (or me at least ;-)) now celebrate the 19th as National Nintendo Rox Day.
Viva le Revolution!

Today is...

WII LAUNCH DAY!

man, does it feeeeeeeeeeel good! 8)

...and I've already heard the term "wii-tards" in use. Nyehehe...

*Playstation girl all the way*

wooooaaah, hey, there'll be no hatin'...
have you played one yet?  you just might see things our way ;)

This blatant fanboyism/girlism is pissssssssing me off.

Everyone knows the best system in the world is the jaguar.

you're right...
but don't forget about the sega cd system!  it comes in a close second!

Yep, I got it. It's cool. I like it.  :-*

I know someone who lived down at Microsoft, and there was a HUGE party thrown shortly after Nintendo revealed the name "Wii" because they thought it was the most absurd thing they ever heard. True story.

I'm just teasin about the previous post though. Wii games look pretty sick. When I had my original Nintendo I used to make fun of my Mom for moving her controller in the air whenever she tried to get Mario to jump over something. And now I'm telling her that this console is perfect for her ;)

But I'm not gonna go out and wait in the freezing cold with obsessive game nerds and agressive parents for 5 hours to wait in line for a system. People are absolutely insane. I even heard that the mayor of New York is trying to make game companies pay for added police protection because people are getting out of control. *rolls eyes*

Someone got gunned down while waiting in line for a PS3 somewhere in Florida.

Sometimes nerds just take it too far.

*Thinks back about stampedes at Wal-Mart sales*

*Ignores PS3 and focuses on 360 & Wii*

Indeed. I know we all want entertainment, but seriously... this kind of crap is beyond ridiculous.

I agree, people have gone nuts for console-based gaming over the last few years and have started making it an unhealthy obsession.  Video games are something to do when its a rainy day or to pass a few hours here and there, but I've watched it shift from an activity/hobby to a lifestyle where people will actually get vehement over games and console brands. ::)  These people need to step outside and see that a little box full of silicon chips  isn't the most important thing in their lives.

Well put my SWAT Kats friend.

=)

The victims were actually in the process of being mugged, if you're talking about the same reports I've read. @_@

From a criminal's point of view, an unguarded line full of people waiting to by something extremely expensive is, well... a goldmine.

Boy. Some of us can't wait for all this riff-raff to die down.  :-[

Yep, all that Sony riff-raff.

 ;) What? you all know Nintendo rules the world.

AND SEGA RULES THE UNIVERSE

Pssh, that's rubbish, everyone knows I rule the world.

... ;-)

I finally get to play my Wii tomorrow.  A friend pulled some strings and got one for us, and is brining it over to us for my wife's birthday tomorrow.  I'd actually bought Zelda: Twilight Princess before I knew we'd gotten a system because it was the last copy they had between two local Best Buys, three Wal-Marts, two Targets, and multiple EB Games and Gamestops.  When you buy games for a system you don't even have, that's probably not a good sign...

heh, you aren't alone.  although i've never done so myself, talk to neglected pizza cat, i know he has ;)

Yup, had Super Mario 64 DS for about three months before I got a DS.

 ::)

and he's still no good at it ;)

Shut up, you still don't know how to use the thumb strap.

hey, i've used one a whole twice now :/

Oh noes! Look what's happening over here (over the Atlantic pond):

I have only one thing to say after reading that.

Wiimote.
