      Pressure pressure pressure.

      Is there an update email we can sign up for or that just crazy talk?

        Is no one tempted to fly to the US themselves to pick one up? I know I am.

        That'd be a top two nights.

          Each time this thread updates I get a VG+ feeling.. then it's shot down

          Come on you bastards, let us know when the pre orders are going up, at this rate if gameplay.co.uk get their pre order list up first im gonna break and go with them, at least i know i'll get one with them.
          I also get that feeling. But I ordered my 360 from gameplay like under 24 hours from when they went up for pre order and I still didn't get one! Mind you the 360 was in major shortage!

          But we dont want a UK PAL Wii we want a US a NTSC ONE!!!

            If I had the money, I'd be going over to the US to visit my gf for Thanksgiving like I have done the last two years. Two years ago I got the DS on launch in the US. This year I've got all the money spent on my new flat instead. A pity. I'm currently trying to convince my gf to buy one and ship it over to me

            (she owes me $300 so the cost of the unit and shipping would be about right heh)
            Lie with passion and be forever damned...

              Ask her to buy more and then make a killing in the sales thread

                Only if your TV specifically says it'll accept Y/Pb/Pr through the SCART socket, most will only take Composite, S-Video or RGB.

                  Why it's almost like pre-ordering!

                      Looking at that counter makes it seem forever!!!

                        Yikes, these $50 games are a long way off from the nice DS prices. Looks like I'm going to be having a smaller catalogue.

                        My total minus the inevitable shipping and Component video comes to....
                        $349.97

                          I've done lots of importing of games from VG+ but never got a console direct from the US / CAN. Can someone breakdown what I'm likely to pay in postage and customs charges etc?

                          Can you ask VG+ to mark down a console?

                            Same here, at the low end anyway. If I am feeling cheeky I'll get four games at launch instead of two (adding Excite Truck and Monkey Ball to my planned definite purchases of Zelda and Rayman) bringing me to $449 before cables, shipping and potential customs charges. Chances are I'll leave it to get those other games closer towards Christmas though which is also when I'd rather get a second pad and nunchuck given their cost.

                            I'm frustrated I won't be getting a new TV this year as it will mean forking out for the expense of an s-video lead to use for now, only to then toss it to one side and buy a component cable when I've finally got a new display.
