US Wii: Preorder Details Thread

[Mr Fujisawa]

I'm 27th, we'll probably get our console from the same shipment...that notice is from their blog, BTW. If they sent out mails, they are for probably the first 10-15 people, or even less, or at least the people they are sure to give Wiis to.

Also, what about the component cable? It has disappeared from the catalog...no results from the search box, nothing under Wii HW/accessories, the link reported here and on their blog heads to a non-existent product.

I'm glad I bought a PAL machine too, but I need an NTSC one play with everything I ordered and preordered from VG+!

Aaaaargh, this is even worse than not having info at all

why are u glad u have a pal one too?

heck ur right the component cable is gone. i might just have got the last one!

A PAL one is quite an extra expense!

Anyways......yeah, I don't want a PAL one, I want a future proofed machine.
So willing to wait i guess It looks like a probable eta of a shipment email is the end of next week

****ing pisser is there is a PAL Wii in my flat and im "not allowed" to play it.

Linking my lips.

I'm going to get nasty (with lots of swearing) if IM haven't sorted me out tomorrow.

[phillai]

[Lazlow]

[phillai]

Nope, but we should hear something this week...

Because I can play Zelda, of course ^^

My u.s Wii arrived from Goldenshop last friday (USD$459 + shipping) via FedEx.

Took 3 days in the post and didn't get taxed (even though the full value amount was declared and it wasn't sent as "gift" or any other exempt descriptions).

They're out of stock now but, if anyone's still looking, they provide great service and the unit's cheaper than YesAsia. Definitely worth emailing them if you're running out of options anyway.

[Dazzla]

I've emailed them about 4 times to cancel and they haven't, they seem pretty useless. I'm gonna have to ring them today.

Fedex usually send the bill a few weeks after delivery (if you've been caught of course).

My Wii+ Zelda are sitting in London as we speak....just waiting for it to get delivered tomorrow

[arcnas]
