Anyone played with their Wii yet?
 

Just seeing what you all think ...

I'm sure many of us use to play with our wee when we were tiny kids, but we've grownup since then :D

I'm sure many still play with their wii-wii ...

No been on the great wii hunt this morning :( toys-r-arse did have six in + pre-orders but I didnt get there till 9.30 so missed out. Went to argos, they said they're not even doing them now which I thought was strange as they had alot of pre-orders? I reserved one at toys-r-arse, really helpful guy in there (for a change!) so might be able to get one this coming week.

Apparantly......

No machines will be available in-store (to just walk in and buy) till after xmas now. Several deliveries are expected between now and christmas, but this are all apparantly spoken for on pre-orders already taken.

1,000,000 units have now been sold...... not bad for 3 weeks! :cry: :eek:

I have the Console here now ....... but on strict orders not to play with it :razz:

Its for the kids on Christmas day

waiting for mine to be delivered, hopefully soon.

carlos..

Just got a wii as an early pressie form my wife, gonna set it up now and have a play!!!!
:)

how much are they here

£179 including Wii Sports Game

(X-posted from my Evo post)

A small snagette with the Wii is that the sensor which you put ontop/below your TV for the wand is wired.. so the Wii needs to be within 6ft of your TV screen, meaning that if you normally hide your game consoles out of sight or your TV receiver is out of sight or you have a large "cinema room" then you're gonna have trouble...

I'm looking forward to either a 12ft Wii sensor cable that I can run through the trunking, or a wireless/battery powered version.

The wand is weird though, works more effectively than I expected.. had a couple of goes of Tennis and Baseball and it's certainly different !

I pre-ordered Zelda from Amazon, should be here tomorrow with any luck.

We're supposed to be going to a gig tonight, but may scrap it for some gaming

Got mine from Woolworths this afternoon.

I'm still waiting for the mrs to come home with it, but doubt I will get chance to try it till tomorrow.

Just looked on eBay and they are going for in excess of £400 for JUST the standard console pack! :eek:

mines arriving tonight, so the evenings booked on Zelda

Will post up something later

My arm is hurting from playing Red Steel all day, its amazing :D

Pleasantly surprised to see it has wireless network too.

Anyone managed to get hold of a SCART/Component cable yet ??

You're going nowhere my son, *WE* are ALL coming round to have a go ;):)

We've been playing Wii sports all night..... fantastic fun

Anyone playing the Wii thru the component cable ?

Im fairly impressed with mine but i cant help think that it's exactly the same machine inside as the gamecube just with better games and features.

Thats because it is based on the GC technology. It is reputed to being about twice as powerful though.

Great piece of kit this. Played with my mates wii today (ooer) on my way to pick up mine. Weird and amazing. Played the tennis game,great fun

Expert control takes some doing though but so much fun. This is the key ingredient that seems to have been missing from super-graphic offerings recently.

I can't wait for Xmas day !! :)
