I got mine at 7:30 this morning aswell [Game opened at 6am in Wolverhampton and had 50 people queueing at 3am apparantly] but i got mine with wii sports and zelda easily with no trouble.

I just had a go on wii sports, and jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze it's fun =D
I love Wii bowling, boxing and baseball but as of yet can't get the hang of tennis or golf, but i'm sure the timing will come soon enough.

Off to play Zelda, have fun guys.

I got mine! WOO! ^_^

Basically, I reserved mine 3 days ago from Fona (a Danish electronics chain). I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't have to pay any fees, nor did I have to pay anything in advance. The guy there said they got 5 and I signed up as number 3. Yesterday an employee called and told me it had arrived and that I could pick it up today, which I did! Certainly a very pain free launch for me.

Woohoo, I finally got it today, thanks to Gamestation.
I collected it a little after 10 AM. Wish I'd known they'd have so many copies of Zelda/Red Steel though, I wouldn't have bothered ordering them off Amazon (they don't come until Monday).

The Wiimote takes some getting used to, but I'm starting to acclimatize to it and it's actually quite neat.

Congrats to all. I waited out in the cold for 7 hours when they first came out and snagged one. Got an extra Wiimote and Red Steel with it. Went home, went to sleep for four hours, then got up and played it for the rest of the day. Already though, I sold Red Steel, bought and extra Nunchuk and bought Call of Duty 3. Contemplating my next purchase, either Rayman or Monster 4x4
