In other words totally not worth it, no more impulse game buys while you're down town, who knows how the region thing will work with wifi either etc, sending it back would be a bitch to if it came broken etc in transport.

Just wait...it's just a console not the end of the world if you have to wait a week or two until you get one.

No it's not region locked. It CAN be region locked. Basically all Nintendo games are region free but if Developers want to restrict their games to regions they can. Your call. By the way the Wii doesn't come out in England until December 8th anyway

No that was said by a Nintendo representative but wasn't true all Wii games will be region locked

Yup it was clear it would be region locked soon as they announced that the launch would be staggered across the globe. If it wasnt region locked then it would have been a global same day/weekend launch.
