US Wii: Preorder Details Thread

[MoFo2]

Afaik Wii Play is not a launch title in the US.

[Mr Ono]

Let me re-phrase that.

Have VG+ stopped taking pre-orders for the Wii console now?

[Lyris]

Yes.

[phillai]

I got mine on 47002...

I think they've taken the pre-orders down now cos I was looking at one for a mate!

[Mr Ono]

Yes.

Bugger.

Pant-crapping time?

[MoFo2]

I think there will be more than plenty. Isn't there supposed to be 2 million systems at launch..? At least more than the 400k PS3 so I'm not worried.

[taurusnipple]

Hmm, yeah. I was at Gamestop early last week and a guy mentioned that while they hadn't started pre-order's (they left it late so they knew how many they were getting - 360 pre-order was a disaster) they fully expected that everybody who wants one will get one.

Not doing the pre-order game this time though, gonna camp outside Walmart or Circuit City.

Oh, said guy mentioned he expects 2 PS3's in stock on launch. FUBAR. It's not even gonna feel like a launch. Why bother?

Have to say, while Game/EB employers tend to be a bunch of clueless muppets, the retailers over here are really enthusiastic and knowledgeble. They push those pesky game guides though <mad>

Ive been trying to hunt down a Launch machine, and dvd box office.com have stock left are they trust worthy ? they also want 70 bucks shipping to UK.
