Posted December 4, 2006 Game in Watford (inside the Harlequin, not in the high street) have a Wii demo pod. It wasn't turned on when I went in today, but the manager told me it would be later on this week when staff were in to demo it for anyone. Lots of people were showing interest in the unit too, including an over-excited black kid and several teenagers remarking just how small it was. Apparently Wii Sports is the game Nintendo have chosen to showcase the Wii, as this is the one the manager said he'd played on it. I probably could have bugged him to have a play a game with me since he's a decent guy, but I'm a shy git and it's only Friday when I'll be able to play it for myself. Were this a month ago I'd have been itching for a hold of that slender baton. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 4, 2006 Will Gamestation be getting Demo Pods anytime soon? The Gamestation where i've preordered from is a really, really small store. There's just about room for the DS and 360 demo pods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 4, 2006 Will Gamestation be getting Demo Pods anytime soon? The Gamestation where i've preordered from is a really, really small store. There's just about room for the DS and 360 demo pods. When I was in Gamestation on Friday asking about the 360 HD DVD drive, a Nintendo rep was being interrogated by one of the staff with words exchanged like "When will we get our Wii thingy?" and the rep said it was coming in next week. I guess we can expect demo pods to arrive in most stores this week, although it feels a bit close to launch. Did the 360 pods arrive this close to the launch?

Posted December 4, 2006 GAME in Leeds City Centre. Due to the lack of controller, everyone was coming up to the screen and pressing it to go on Channels. I didn't know you could play it though if you asked!!!!! Anyway, less than four days until I have my own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 4, 2006 They have one in the new virgin megastore in manchester, you can't play on it though. I was on it yesterday. I was just lucky that they had brought it out. Theres a pic of it that i took in the meaningless post thread i think. Or somewhere. COD3 was on it, so naturally i knew what to do seen as though id completed it on the 360, i owned at the game. Got used t the controls first then showed everyone how to play. Then some guy watchign asked, hows the controls. I say its cool, hard to get used to but once ou got it its awesome...I so totally sold the console to that guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 4, 2006 i'm avoiding the demo pods... the wii has been spoiled enough... i want it to seem as fresh as is possible I know. I wouldn't play on it if I could now. I want to experience it in my own home on Friday. I don't even want to see the console for real untill I take it out the box, so I hope my local GAME store don't have one on show!
