So where the fuck should i buy (or preorder) one of these thingos.

I haven't decided whether to get one of the basic setups, or one with bonus games, controllers, the whole bundle.

Has anyone seen a deal they can recommend??

This late, beggars can't be choosers. Some stores have started refusing preorders due to limited stock. Be quick and you might be lucky.

a lot of places have stopped preordering (blacktown eb is still taking them, i think)
went into myer today and the guy showed me the coupons you got from pre-ordering, and they look pretty damn good. from what i remember 2x$20 off any wii game, 2x$15 off any wii game, $15 off wii controller, $250 off plasma/lcd tv, and some ds coupons too. 3 days!!

what's everyone picking up at launch?

i'm grabbing wii + wii sports (free) + gt pro (free) + zelda + rayman + controller

since i wont be there for launch, I only ordered zelda due to supply problems with the game.
I wonder if you can use the $250 off with already discounted items (i.e. boxing day sales). That would totally be teh sex. Although it is slightly ironic that this coupon is offered with the wii, the only next-gen console not supporting HD

Looks like everyone's going bonkers for the Wii, clearly the most successful of the three thus far.

With all the craze I might eventually get one when the price comes down.

lol. you'll have to wait a while, considering the price is already incredibly low.

 

[AsyLum]

4 hours to go....

 

[drewgcn]

Ah, I remember going and getting the gamecube the day of its release.

If money was no object, I'd be getting the wii tomorrow as well. Its an amazing little gem.
