I couldn't get one. We only get about 8000 Wii's for the netherlands. I pre-orderd mine 3 months ago at a store, but they decided to sell all Wii's over the internet without letting me know. I tried yesterday everywhere, but all stores were either jammed with pre-orders or already sold-out. Bad luck. Maybe I get one saturday when i'm in germany, but I don't count on it. If not, I'll propably have to wait till the 2nd shipment, which comes somewhere next week

I think those people are getting a bit too much into it. That or they are trying to get free repair to stuff that was broken by some other means .
Sucks bad kv83 .

I wouldn't say that it's "retarded" as such. It's quite a cool input device, but whether cool is the same as efficient or useful is yet to be seen.Arcane WIzard wrote:Message to all the fanbois who wouldn't believe me when I said the wiimote was retarded and inpractical: bite me.*wii rampages*
My gripe with Nintendo is much the same as my gripe with iPod shuffle - repackaging old ideas and promoting them as new and revolutionary. The only thing that is "revolutionary" is enforcing the use of a quirky controller; Nintendo was using motion-sensing input devices back in 1989.
