Counting down the hours, but probably will take the retailers a few days to get their ducks in a row on pre ordering. Don;t think they will be ready as soon as the release date and price breaks.

Yea good point, might take them a while to workout their preorder allowances or something.

Tnanks for that. Ive been wondering if the news will be waiting for me when i get home from school. By the way, is ALL of that time of them talking or is does that include the playing. I assume the playing on the console is afterwards?

Darkprinny · 09-13-2006, 06:33 PM

So ill be clicking refresh every min untill theres a release date

chessaholic · 09-13-2006, 09:17 PM

Sounds like a plan. ill simply be getting up at 6am tomorrow. No release day or price, but i'll find out if there's anything major thay're not telling us... perhaps a bundle package... ill know all the specs. The games on the virtual console. How it'll work. A rough price of them all. How the internet will work on it. Any more games? New controllers?

perhaps ill make it 5am?

in touch with the wii · 09-13-2006, 09:23 PM

chessaholic · 09-13-2006, 09:37 PM

I know they will reveal price and date etc, but only for japan in japan conference, and USA date in Us etc. I am in UK, so wont get date and price untill tomorrow. That's what i meant.

EDIT: 100 posts

Yea, but I am talking about the UK price...The Japan price will be cheaper than the UK price, because we have sooo much tax added on.

So I will wait till friday to learn about the UK price (if that makes sense?)

Arcadium · 09-14-2006, 12:01 AM

My plan is to know after school, because on friday I will not have school, I can have all day to discuss the theme (release date and price).

+Maniacal=Maniac+ · 09-14-2006, 12:03 AM

Which Is Central Time US?

SolidusRaccoon · 09-14-2006, 12:37 AM

I will be at work, but will be checking every few minutes. Soon. WII!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chynkinese · 09-14-2006, 03:33 AM

Sam_Harris · 09-14-2006, 06:56 AM

LOL, i was thinking that, this is my theory:
: I read on aussie-nintendo that tonight there will be something on the news which will tell us the release date
: They might release the AUS details at the European conference cause of the whole PAL thing that euro and aus have in common.
