US Wii: Preorder Details Thread

[Lazlow]

Just an interesting tidbit from the store manager regarding stock at the Nintendo World Store at launch (courtesy of gonintendo.com)

?(Concerning Wii launch units at the store) (There will be) enough for walk-ins as well. I?m not expecting to sell out on Sunday. Monday ? no promises.?


Hopefully this is a sign of plentiful stock across North America and Canada. Something to ease your pre-order blus :P

I gather sunday release dates are not uncommon in the US, but does anyone know if they have the same retarded sunday opening hours stores in the UK are crippled with?

Has anybody been able to change the colour of their console to Black yet?

There are no black Wiis and won't be for some time. White is the only colour at launch.

Some Inventory information from Best Buy in the US.


"One of the leaders in retail, best buy will be a getting AT LEAST this many. After taking an average of diverse locations directly from Best Buy?s retail stock system(RSS) the total number units indicated is aprroximately 80-90 units. this ranges from 120 in the more popular stores to just 24 in bufu. not only that, but games such as red steel will be roughly 60 in number, and trauma center 30. these are just PRELIMINARY"

Things are looking promising...

[toythatkills]

Oh come on, I'd be surprised if Atlus made 30 Trauma Centers in total

Mine's pre-ordered with DVDBoxoffice...should I be concerned/hunting for somewhere else to get one, or are they okay?

Not used them since FFX came out, and I remember that taking a while to get to me...

God and Nintendo are the same thing

Hmmm, slim and none id say. The problem with online stores is that pretty much all allocation is going to be taken backing up to 2nd possibly 3rd shipments. Just stick with it though seeing as we have no confirmation of supply amounts you could get lucky.

I ordereed mine from them recently as well. I think I need to look elsewhere if im honest - I doubt i'd have one launch ready...
