Going to our neighbours in a while for a quick drink, then onto another neighbour for a curry, drinks and some wii action. The neighbour was going to buy a dvd quiz game, but i advised against it and we will be bringing along the wii! Don't think i'll get too drunk and the wife will only be having one as we have our 2 week old daughter..

Im guessing at a demo channel for the wii/ds

of course they are! Where do you think most TV's are made! Compontent is component!

Im not looking at this from the perpective of the 'novelty' controllers. What im trying to say is that the games are more like 'party pieces' which require less commitment and complexity and seem focussed on good ol' fun and competition.

What competitors, you mean other insignificant game manufacturers

I have put in GOW this week and i seem to lose interest in, like the majority of games very quickly. I used to play games regularly, but as Ive got older (28) and commitments change I seem to have less and less time to get into them and master their controls etc. Im hoping the Wii will change this, and I am hopefully that the key characteristics of the game will. I don't want to sound horrible but the games seem more simple in that you can pick them up and have a quick blast without committing hours to gameplay. ...anyone else feel the same?

Argos have sold their initial allocation....

Yeah, I always opt for free postage and always get my games on the Tues after the friday release. My bro paid for shipping on GOW and his arrived release day.

Games from Amazon at the earliest arrive on the release date, if you pay for the postage.

the blue light is only on when a disc is loading according to the engaget faq http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/19/wii-faq-answers-to-your-wii-questions

Saves replacing both items if one breaks...

you can buy a component switcher from play asis for about a tenner.

NO, even worse, just a crappy leaflet! Just collected mine, if going into town to just collect this i wouldn't bother. Im confirmed as numero uno in my store and have been verbally told everyone who has paid £20 will be getting a console on release day. They also stated that it is unlikely that any store will have a midnight opening for the launch.

Its funny, how a specialist games store can get things so wrong. Sure, notifying customers is good, but all the mis information and lacking of standard response from each game store adds to the frustration. A new console release should be a big thing for any games store, and by now they really should have mastered things. My store had no knowledge of the confirmed orders letter and would not confirmw whether i will get a launch machine and im no1 in the queue.
