UK Wii pre-orders Thread

[cutmymilk]

Pretty good!
For me, the must haves for launch probably:

Wii Sports Bundle
The Legend of Zelda : Twilight Princess
Wii Play (including Wii Remote)
Rayman Raving RabbidsTM (Ubisoft)

And I'm definately interested in:

Call of Duty? 3 (Activision)
Super Monkey BallTM: Banana Blitz (Sega)
Far Cry Vengeance (Ubisoft)
Red SteelTM (Ubisoft)

Then of course Wario and Excite Truck!

Have Game started telling people who ordered online whether they're getting a machine at launch yet? Surely they ought to know by now how many they're getting and who'll be getting one.

I really hope Metal Slug comes out over here, i was hoping for that in launch window.

Argos online will sort you out. They're also doing ?10 off each game ordered with the machine (up to 2 titles). Payment is taken immediately though.

You have a point, i read this earlier, it seems silly to pass providing you're going to buy a WIi.

Well it would be pretty stupid to get it if you never plan on getting a Wii wouldn't it.

I'd be dubious of online personally, but the stores around here have run out of pre orders now. Your best bet might be trying to nab one on release now.

Agreed, best bet would be electronics strores and other shops that will be getting them in but arent savvy enough to be running pre-order schemes. Although they are running pre-order schemes the out of town Currys stores may be worth a shot, a lot less visibility to people walking through town looking for pre-orders. Might be worth dropping by and asking.

Oh also, Toys R Us havent yet started doing official pre-orders. Only a 'register your intrest' list that they have yet to start contacting (i should know, im on 3 of them). Might be worth getting yourself on one or two of them because i'm sure they'll start doing pre-orders soon.

Im optimisitically hoping that Amazon is going to get enough on release as they arent taking pre orders yet :?

Never mind.

The GC version of Zelda TP is down for 15/12 on the Nintendo Europe site, the Wii version is still out on the 8th.

Here is a dodgy confirmation that the PAL Wii will support 480p http://www.vagusnet.com/news-item.php?intID=1259

But in the article the idiot writers put composite instead of component. Not only that they spelled composite wrong!ft:
