    yes just got a mail from the shop where i pre-ordred.. I wont get a Wii on release.. even though i was the first to preorder... so this probably means that the shop will get one or 2 wii's for promotion only.. what can I say

     

    Ouch man, that's not cool, where did you preorder? I've been panicking for a while now thinking that the shop I preordered from would just sell the Wiis to their mates even though I ordered mine in September. Managed to get the girlfriend to go and work her charms on them & they have assured her she'll get one.

     

    Hope you don't have to wait too long :cry:

    I don't know about you guys but as launch day is getting closer the fear is starting to set in. The shop I've preordered from will be getting 15 Wiis in and I placed my order on 23rd Sept but I'm still paranoid that somethings going to happen to make me miss out. Guess I won't feel at ease until my Wii's safe in my hands :hmm:

     

    To pass the time I've tried reading lots of reviews and magazines, playing all my old cube games (currently working through SSBM again), contemplated renewing my WoW subscription and even joined a gym :cry: That's how desperate I've become.

     

    As Cartman said the closer to launch it gets the more time slows down. It's like waiting for Christmas times 1000.

    Lies I tell you! :grin: I'd happily wager my pre-ordered Wii that Nintendo will release different colours, maybe not at launch, but there's no reason not too.

     

    This time next yeat we'll be seeing pink Wii's to co-incide with the breast cancer thing like the DS.

    I could do with meeting a woman aswell, but where am I going to meet the kind of woman I'd get on with?

     

    Trust me, you'd be suprised! Everyone tries to act cool but we are all the same really. Anyways if you find a woman you can always change her :grin: lol that's what I did with mine, when I met her she was a right chav, now she listens to my music, plays Animal Crossing and Mario Party with me :p Hang in there, everything will fall into place. Make sure you post and let us know how the night goes if you go out ;)

    I wouldn't worry about it too much mate, there's nothing wrong with you at all, different people enjoy different things. Maybe try going out with your friend and his mates I wouldn't worry if you don't enjoy it. Try not to take it to heart when your mum says you should get out more aswell, you'll probably find as you get older you meet more people like yourself who just prefer small groups of close friends and there's nowt wrong with that! Hope that helps a bit, just remember to stay positive and I know it's a cliche but be yourself :p

    Just found this on the BBC News website

     

    Sony to 'block PS3 Euro imports'

     

    Sony will be blocking attempts to import the console

    Sony has said it will use the "full scope of the law" to block the importing of PlayStation 3s (PS3) into Europe before its official release.

    The much-anticipated games console goes on sale in the US and Japan next month but is not out in Europe until 2007.

     

    Last week a British judge ruled that Taiwanese import/export firm Lik-Sang could not sell the Japanese version of Sony's handheld PSP in Europe.

     

    The case sets a precedent for would-be importers of PlayStation 3 consoles.

     

    A spokesman for Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) told the BBC: "The law is clear, and grey importing PS2, PSP or PS3 into the EU, without the express permission of SCEE is illegal.

     

    "Therefore, we will utilise the full scope of the law to put a stop to any retailers who chose to do this."

     

     

    The PlayStation 3 has cost billions of dollars to produce

     

    Critics of Sony's approach feel that the electronics giant is preventing gamers in Europe from getting their hands on PlayStation 3s early, even if they have to pay a hefty premium.

     

    The spokesman said: "Ultimately, we're trying to protect consumers from being sold hardware that does not conform to strict EU or UK consumer safety standards."

     

    He pointed out that the Japanese or American PS3 models would not play older European-sold software for the first two PlayStations, would not play EU Blu-ray movies or DVDs, and would not be covered by a warranty.

     

    The decision to delay the release of the PS3 in Europe - due to stock shortages of vital components for the machine's Blu-ray player - came as a blow to players in the world's second-biggest games market.

     

    The machine will be released in Europe in March, while it goes on sale on November 17 in the US and November 11 in Japan.

     

    They really don't want us Europeans getting our dirty hands on their shiny consoles!

    We had bulldog and POGS banned when I was at school, it's just the shitty media blowing everything out of proportion. I know Americans aren't the smartest nation in the world but you can't honestly believe that the people in charge of the school banned it out of fear of a law suit.

     

    The principal may very well have said Recess is "a time when accidents can happen" but seems like quoting out of context to me.
