it's a bit of a relief when you get that call, especialy when my wife points out the demand on tv...

Gamers are already queuing to get their hands on the new Nintendo console before its release on Friday
Electronics giant Nintendo is bracing itself for what they say will be the UK's biggest ever console launch of their new product Wii.

Retailers have already sold out of their pre-order allocations of the machine which has a wireless wand-like remote that interacts with whatever game is being played.

The remaining Wii consoles are expected to fly off shop shelves not long after it goes on sale. Fans have already started queuing outside HMV on London's Oxford Street where the official launch

...but i don't care anymore. anyone still on the hunt, GOOD LUCK. i wish you all the best.

well, i finaly got to collect my wife's Wii on release day, and was given a seethrough bag to carry it in, i walked to my car across the other side of town. i have never felt so much like a target in all my life. But it was worth it.

That's exactly how ToysRUs' bags are, and they seal from the bottom so you can't add more to them on your way out of their electronics dept. Although, when I got mine, I didn't feel at all a target, didn't even cross my mind... instead I felt like one lucky sob walking past another growing lineup that formed inside the store aisles waiting to enter the department which was limited so a certain number of people at a time. Glad to hear everyone got their system safely too.
