    You know, I was thinking that I will probably wait until next year, but reading all these reports now I WANT ONE RIGHT NOW.

    Well i've rung every single shop I can think of in Leicester, not a single one available as a free stock purchase.

    Guess I'll just have to wait a while and put the mastercard back under lock and key

    I am looking forward to actually trying the controller. How accurate is it? is it really a revolution in game control or just a gimmick (albeit a very good one)?

    Erm, the complete revolution in the way you control it. The fact that you can actually control the game by swinging and waving the controller about like anything rather than just pushing a pokey little stick and pressing some buttons.

    Read this in the FT today:

    Today's European launch of Nintendo's Wii games console has been overshadowed by a series of alleged accidents in which the machine's innovative remote controller has flown out of "over-enthusiastic" gamers' hands and smashed their TV screens.

    hehe Allen THere have been loads of incidents of controllers smashing tvs since the launch in us.

    Using the wrist strap should help and all games are telling you to put the strap on before you start.


    TKH about 10 of us in working where tryig to get one of the new batch at 3 but all failed.


    Nintendo are on the up again with this console. After the N64 and GC the wii is really looking like it could be huuge!!!

    Just had a go on my mates, he had it on pre-order but still went down at 2am to wait for the shop to open at 7! In Middlesbrough. In the cold. In the rain. In the wind.

    But it's really cool Just kicked his ass at baseball, but he beat me at golf and tennis It's a really intuitive idea, and only took me about 2 minutes to get used to it. Wouldn't say the graphics on Wii sports are anything special but the way you play more than makes up for it

    I would say they are a bit too oversensitive, ie on the golf one, I was swinging as I usually would and it was way too powerful. Also, in the baseball, when you're pitching, it doesnt' seem to matter how fast you do it, it always goes the same speed as far as I could see :/

    But all in all it's really cool and i'm quite tempted to get one next year or something
