I second that. You're probably gonna end up buying the wii at launch cause you just can't wait, and selling your free one a week later

Welcome aboard! most impressive game on the cube imo: Resident evil 4.

Maybe Nintendo won't pinpoint the exact date yet until they've manufactured a set amount of wii's to provide the huge demand..

Didn't Iwata himself say that about the pc monitor connection instead of the employee? My mind is letting me down, it's been 4 days without brain training...

Erm, you sound like 42.9% of the japanese housewives population is absolutely going to buy it. How bout we restate your assumption: 42.9% of the interrogated wives (Could be just as little as 50) are intersted in perhaps playing the wii, as in "if my husband or girlfriends buy one, I'll probably give it a go"... The poll has 3 options: wii, ps3 or none. My guess is alot of people find the wii intruiging and want to give it a go, so they just pick the option: wii cause there's no option: give it a go first.

Oh yes, do please set it free...

I concur! I really hope they provide both versions in one packaging, otherwise I'd feel kinda ripped off by not being able to try out both versions if I wanted to.

Strange, but I don't really care. I was finding Bozon more interesting to read nowadays anyways.

"Steal my sunshine" from Len. Bit hard to find on the net though. Perhaps soulseek?

I heard they would hold a meeting in september to announce the date. Don't remember where I read that though .... EDIT: Oh there you go, Dante posted it PS: Anybody else see the pic of the australian ad in the shop where it said get a game free when your preorder a wii? Sweet! you can see it at http://www.infendo.com That is SO true!

Sexy sexy sexy... GIRLS are sexy !!!

Erm, I think a dvi is a digital video input. Check on the back of your pc for the graphics card. If you have a recent graphics card, chances are you'll have two outputs, one probably being a dvi output. So dvi is just a connector type. I think they're mostly used for flatscreen tft's (pc screens), and that hdmi is used for lcd/plasma stuff. You probably mean divx.

No prob. I'm sure there're other folks here that could help you with your HDMI questions.

Well, seems like you outsmarted me there dude, cause I don't know nothing about hdmi and dvi stuff as I haven't upgraded yet and am certainly not planning to until in a couple of years. So I'm afraid I can't help you anymore. About that price though, I bought myself an RGB scart for my low end dvd player that set me back 30 quid, so I can imagine that a MONSTER goLD HMDI connector would cost that much. Hell you even have speaker cable that costs that much - per meter!

The scart quality ladder goes as follows: - stupid normal scart you get with your gamecube for instance, where you have to plug the yellow (image) and white/red (sound for left and right) into a scart blok thingy. - Next up we have the S-video! It's certainly a step up from the first option, but your tv needs an S video input (round thingy). And if your tv support that, then it usually also supports RGB, which is again better. - RGB is by far the best you can get for a normal tv. You have to check that your tv AND your dvd player or SKY thingy can handle rgb though. I couldn't find a pic on the net, but if you check the scart inputs on your tv, you always see that oval symbol with the arrow pointing towards it accompanied by AV1, AV2 or AV3 etc. Now if you've got 3 inputs for instance, there should be one or possibly two with a round oval symbol with three dots inside. Those dots stand for R G and B Or you could push the menu button on your TV remote and check it that way. You most likely have to set that scart input to RGB through the menu anyways. You also most likely need to set your dvd to deliver RGB output in it's menu. - But since you claim you have a high def tv, you should most certainly opt for the final, HDTV/projector only solution, being component cables. These consist of three cables in colors red, green and blue. Yeah I know, after RGB being one solid scart, this option returns to 3 seperate cables Type "component cables" in google and check the images, you'll see what I mean. But as always, check that all your units are compatible with it, as certainly not all dvd players support this high end output. Just check the backside and see if the colors match. PS: I don't have a high end tv yet, so I wouldn't know how the step up from RGB to component looks like, but I can tell you that RGB definitely is a step up from the crappy normal scart. You might not notice it immediately, but check the fonts on the first warning screen you get when you insert a dvd, and you'll see what I mean! There's no more flickering!!! RGB also kick ass on a gamecube. Well, I really gotta go now, my fruit's all laying around in animal crossing, gotta collect from nook!

Remember the first post days of cube-europe when the comment section was still on the main page? Man, that stupidity lasted for aaaages! It went in waves of a couple of weeks on end, then silenced itself for a wee bit, before being revived again by some newcomer trying to be cool I do however admit being guilty of doing it once or twice myself

Depends on how much cash you're willing to spare. If you're looking for one of those cheap all in one packs for about 200-300€, then I doubt you'll find one without a dvd player. But since you say you've got a fairly high end dvd unit, I would recommend going for a more budget intensive solution: buy the components seperately. High end requires high end to get the high end out of it, get it? You can always get speakers in a set, as each brand has it's own surround product range with speaker sets. But you're most likely gonna have to buy the receiver seperately. I couldn't recommend you any at the moment, as I invested in my surround a couple years ago and haven't followed the industry since, but you're gonna have to ask yourself some important questions like: "Does it need to blow me away hifi wise too? Or just when I'm watching movies and such?" Dolby Prologic II my friend: plug in any stereo device and simulate surround sound. Please note though that although it sounds nice, it's waaaaay off being remotely as good as true 5.1, so don't expect to be blown away by it. Or you can also switch your receiver to 5 channel stereo and get the same output through all speakers. PS. The centre speaker is the most important speaker of them all! 80% of all you detail goes through that one, so cough it up and shop high!

ouch! That must suck!

Bomberman Generations & Mario Golf. They're still up for grabs if anyone's interested

For those of you complaining about metroid, did you happen to watch the 20min high def ign walkthrough of the E3 demo? You need insider to download the large version though. It's filmed off-screen, but looks absolutely beautiful!

The fishing was pretty nice! It seemed kinda odd though that the girl behind link always paddled on the left side instead of alternating when link did. Oh well, probably a flick of the wii mote away to do so ...

That fight with Ridley could cause some major seizures with epileptics! I thought it was kindof overkill, at some points my eyes could barely make out what was going on...

As if we couldn't have guessed for ourselves that november's the month, like it's always been... boooring!

That afrika level looks cool dude!

Wii is gonna OWN!
