Wii Poll

i'm on the pre-order list for the Wii and PS3 and EBgames, ncsx.com and play asia and nothing yet...what the fuck is taking them so long?

Simple. They don't know how many they are getting.

My choice depends on the launch games. Even then, it's probably not a Day One for me. $250 is not too much, but I doubt I'll buy one until after the Christmas season.

I plan to buy it on day one. $250 with a pack-in isn't all that bad, and I'm interested in seeing how good Zelda is with the Wiimote, although like Neozeedeater, I'm apprehensive about it since no comparisons have been made between how it controls on the GC vs. the Wii.

Yeah, Rumpy is right. A reliable EB source told me that they are likely to start taking preorders next week (probably Tuesday he said) when they have a better idea how much each store will be allocated.

As long as something doesn't happen to financially drain me I'm getting a Wii at launch. First time I really wanted a system at launch since the DC (I only got a launch PS2 because I needed a DVD player anyway.)

I really want to pick it up day one, but my wife is telling me I have to wait until Christmas!?

I told her that I'll pick it up when it comes out and then she can get me a coupla game for Christmas =) Much better idea...

I can't wait for Fire Emblem on Wii ...

Either that or she can get you a 360 so you can check out Neon and Space Giraffe.

Zelda's the big game on the system this year but we still don't know how it compares with the GC version. If the versions are pretty much the same in quality or if the traditional controls turn out better than I might as well get the GC version this year.

Looking at that somewhat weak Wii launch lineup, I'm still better off just waiting for the GC Zelda one since I still have a nice selection of GC games that I want to complete or play altogether. Plus by the time GC Zelda comes out, there still won't be a great deal of new games out so no loss or anything.

So yeah I picked "depends on launch lineup".

I seriously want to hear my zelda arrows being shot out of my wiimote and then the sound of it hitting come out of my tv. I don't know why but that thought gives me a half-chubby.

It does that?

Awesome.

Sounds like ghetto surround sound.
