I've added everyone up to Ti.Nano (page 3) and have a Mii from Daft (Sophia) and one from Anster1983 (Ant) Cheers everyone that added me!!!

a few posts above you xernobyl! I was also wondering this...

I am aching all over from playing Wii Sports!! Just goes to show how unfit I am!!!

Friend me up!!... Please! 6992 8206 8340 3034 Al77 will try to add as many as possible from here....

I have to say I am SO happy with PCWorld. Wii arrived today 8:50 (DHL you beauties!). I had a problem with payment on Wednesday so it was only posted out Thursday afternoon, so it got here overnight (even tho PCWorld stated 2-7 days delivery) and lo and behold a free copy of WiiPlay!! Must have run out of remotes so chucked a WiiPlay in instead. A+++++++ On the other hand my 7am trip to Game for my sisters Wii, although successful, was a bit crap. 2 guys turned up(2nd/3rd in queue) and had 'lost' their deposit receipts - not sure their names were even found in the pre-order book but they walked away with a Wii + accessories... I get to the till to find the last Nunchuck just sold to the guy in front. Not very happy After an hour long trip around town ASDA came up trumps - hadn't even unpacked their nunchucks/Wii-motes at 11.30!!! All in all a great day!!

Never heard of em but these fellas: http://www.specials.24studio.co.uk/page.asp?b=ChristmasSpecials2006&o=1&p=2042&s=14 have started advertising Wii for order.

I got the dispatch email today 12pm and it's DHL Next Day delivery (although Cust Ser told me it would take 2-3 days so may well be mon-tues next week... Id ring them if you've not had email by now. They had stock on tues/wed.

I went in to Game in Bristol earlier today and the manager there said that he'd had enough Wii's in to cover his whole 'first batch pre-order shipment' and had actually received enough to cover some 'second batch' pre-orders on launch too... this is interesting considering some companies (gameplay/argos etc) are unable to fulfill them all due to supply problems. Game really do appear to have the buying power. Pity their prices are so bloody steep.

I, typically, had a problem with my card authorisation!! The order is now "progressing" - I hope thats a positive sign?? They told me on the phone that orders will take 2-3 days so Friday looks a good bet (especially if they took your money yesterday!!)

Ditto!! I was annoyed at the thought of it only being sent on 8/12 but I reckon Cust Ser may be talking crap as the website clearly says pre-orders will be sent to arrive on launch day in the FAQs. Gotta remember that even if it's a few days late it's still coming unlike some unlucky people...

Quote: PC World - Will have no extra stock on launch day, and have only been allocated 20% of their pre-orders. So this is a no go now. An email was sent to stores today confirming this apparently. Was that only 20% of online pre-orders too? or purely in-store ones... got me worried here!!

I just rang PCWorld about my pre-order (online) to be told it won't be dispatched until 8/12!! This had better be a mistake by their sales guy. I wouldn't care as I am also picking one up on launch from Game (for my Sis - but maybe mine now!! ) but the problem is I ordered a bundle from PCWorld and the games will be delayed if true.... and I'll be sitting around with only WiiSports on launch day... how shit. Anyone else heard something different from them??

Game will never give away a full price game!! Best you'll get are some 3rd party accessories chucked in.. usually something you don't want. If they did do buy 2 get 1 free it would be on all the crap games no one in their right mind ever buys...

That's a bit shit... would have banked on Wii Play being 4 player... disappointing.

You can get Wii Play from Play3k for £27.99 with free postage anyway... that's where I ordered mine.

Some extras: (some are same as first post but there are a few interesting new ones here) Found here:Wiichat Figured a tips n tricks section would be kind of cool. Some of these were found by IGN users. 1. Press the home button on the main menu. Next click on the controller image. You can adjust the wii-mote volume and rumble functions 2. Hold a and b down and you can move the windows on the main menu around. 3. In order to add someone to your friend's list you BOTH have to enter eachother's Number ID and Console Nickname to be able to send messages and Mii's 4. Want your plain-looking Wii to have some style? Add a blue light around you CD drive anytime the console is on by doing the following: Go to your email from the home menu, and add your personal computer email address to your address book. Wait ~1 hour for the email (mine took at least this long) Reply to the email from your computer. In a few minutes, you will have an email waiting for you on your Wii. Don't read it! As long as it remains new, you have a pretty blue light! 5. In wii sports bowling, you can release on the back swing and throw the ball backwards. It scares all the miis behind you. 6. Email A Wii: You can email any Wii that you know the Friend code for. The Email address will be w(Wii Number here)@wii.com. For Example: [email protected] 7. Get rid of Generic Teammates/Spectators: The Wii will automatically use the other Miis in your Plaza as teammates and spectators in certain Wii sports games. Create friends and family, and you can get rid of the generic Miis. 8. Register and Extend Warranty: Register your Console on Nintendo.com, get a free 90 day extension to your warranty. 9. Get Free Nintendo Power: Register 3 Nintendo products on Nintendo.com, and get 3 months of Nintendo Power free. 10. Extra Parts: There are two parts to the Wii in your box that you may either not find, or never know what they are. The first is a Clear Disc piece. This piece fits under your Wii stand to Stabalize it's balance. The second is a Small(1" - 1.5") plastic Piece. This piece is the stand for the Sensor bar. It puts some disntance between your TV and the bar. In theory, that should give you a better angle reception. 11. Get Miis in your parade: Setting your Miis to Mingle, and having your friends do the same thing will soon have Miis walking around in your parade. Your friends' Miis will wonder over to your console and parade around, so long as they are set to Mingle. You can then grab them and send them to your Plaza so you have a copy. 12. In Zelda, the direction Link spins when doing a spin attack depends on which way you spin your nunchuck 13. In Wii Sports Bowling, when you press up on the Directional Pad, it will zoom in on the lane. The zoom in sound is the exact same sound from Super Mario 64 anytime you moved the camera. 14. If you go to the Channel section in your menu you can choose to save VC games on a SD card.... 15. In LOZ:TP if you keep it at the start screen for an extended period of time, it plays an extremely extended trailer that they didn't show to the general public which is pretty cool. 16. On hole 3 of Wii Sports Golf, there is a small section of fairway at about a 45 degree angle to the left from the tee box. It is a small patch surrounded by Out Of Bound-ness. If you can land your ball on there, you can easily make it on the green in 2, to to Eagle the course. 17. Wii Video 9 - Wii Video Converter Wii Video 9 is a free video conversion application developed by Red Kawa. It allows you to convert your computer video files (like avi, divx, mpeg, etc.) into the specific video formats that are playable on the Wii. Wii Video 9 can also be combined with Videora, another software application, and together they can let you automatically download and convert video for your Wii using BitTorrent and RSS technology. 18. In the Wii menus, turn your wrist and the hand cursor will also turn. 19. from Varelse: I just found and confirmed a little easter egg. I'm not sure if it's already known, but while your Wii is powered down you can press any button on your Wiimote and lights will flash. The number of lights flashing is the amount of charge left in your battery (1 is least charge, 4 is most charge) 20. In Wii Bowling, if you aim right to any lane near you, you can throw your ball there, but you won't hit any pins unless you aim right. 21. Zelda. You can skip cutscenes in Zelda by hitting the - button 22. Black Ninja Wii Bowling easter egg YouTube - Easter Egg 23. When you purchase a virtual console title and Mario runs across the screen, if you happen to get fire flower Mario, you can shoot fireballs with the A button. 24. Omie When looking at your messages press a+b and you can move the messages around. If you have A LOT of messages like me then you can arrange them in this manner or you can just delete them

I take back my previous comment... it looks pretty good.

I have to admit they do look brilliant but I bet they're a real bugger to put on properly.. and prob don't look as good in real life.

Look! you can get them really cheap on EBAY!!! (Sarcasm!) http://search.ebay.co.uk/wii-component_W0QQcatrefZC6QQfromZR10QQfsooZ1QQfsopZ1QQftrtZ1QQftrvZ1QQga10244Z10425QQpqryZWIIQ20COMPONENEQQsacatZQ2d1QQsaprchiZQQsaprcloZQQsofocusZbs What a Fukkin ConMan!!! There are some real scamsters out there, never ceases to amaze me....

I read that Argos are keeping some Wii's back for shoppers on the day. Apparently they have it in their special xmas catalogue and you can just go in and order it now (or on the day) and collect it then. I read this on a forum - someone said they knew a manager for Argos and they always put some 'low key' into the catalogue and they had ordered theirs that way... might be worth a look even if Argos online have sold out.

I've only ever seen 2000 points priced at £14.99 so would presume that that is the going rate.

No Mario Kart in 2007 then...

You've gotta love 'DISCOUNT' direct overpricing the Wii and stating $999 dollars as the list price. Skanky fuckers....

I love stuff like that.. Only Nintendo knows the joy of the surprise find - and the fact that someone might even try it in the first place!!

No, I'll prob call mine your actual name too.... : peace: : peace:
