US Wii: Preorder Details Thread

[Ken Evil]

That's a lot more games than I ordered, guess that's why yours is coming first.

What?s everyone with HDTV?s gonna do when they get their US Wii?s? Are you just put up with the shoddy picture until you can get a component cable in the UK?

Also is there any news on the Wattage of the console yet?

[Dezm0nd]

I'm hoping their website isn't lying and will start shipping machines from importmadness tomorrow, it'd be so awesome to see a shipping email in my inbox tomorrow.

I ordered Monkey Ball and Rayman from them out of respect for allocating me a unit so late

Current word from the US is that there are no component cables on sale anywhere, either first or third party, so there's no choice at the moment...

58W and I'm gonna be powering the bugger with a 500w stepdown?!

[dataDave]

LOL - everyone worrying about stepdowns when I could probably run this off of an old electric shaver conversion plug from 1985 (which I actually use to charge my PSP and DS).
