Pre-ordered mine from Amazon. Got it today (although was a mission and a half to get it). So pleased.

Told Wed+Thu from Argos that cos I didn't get a phone call telling me of a delay then I'd be getting it on release day (today). Told today by them that I wouldn't get it till next week. So I went out at 12 noon having sourced the one and only Blockbuster store that was expecting 2 in and bought them both.

Got home, phoned and cancelled my Argos order, put the phone down and the Argos delivery arrived!!! So I somehow got 3 Wii's on release day when I expected to get none!!!

From my local Woolworths where I preordered from. My Dad went in today to see whether the Wii was ready or not, in which they told him about the whole delivery thing, and that they've taken the money out of his back account, and that I'll get it Monday/Tuesday 'bout it really

at least there is a nice stream of Wiis unlike the 360.

with the 360 i decided to get one less then a week b4 launch, luckily i knew some1 at a games store, so i got one, didnt even have to camp out like the poor buggers. sadly some people who had been waiting hours didnt get their 360 for months. lol

however with the wii, i pre-ordered like every other customer.
