So, is there any talk yet about how Nintendo World is handling their preorders?
Midnight at TRU? Midnight at NW? When store opens on Sunday?

• "Software downloaded from the Wii Shop Channel is licensed to you, not sold" (pg. 25)
• "If you use the messaging features of the Wii console, you need to understand that Nintendo may monitor your use and share certain information (i) as required by law, (ii) where necessary to protect the company, its customers or its employees, (iii) as necessary to provide the services. [Big Brother is watching -Ed.]" (pg. 47)

I don't like these.

Haven't software licenses been sold for PC programs since forever? I always remember them using that exact phrasing. And what's the big deal about the message viewing? AIM does it and I'm pretty sure MSN does, too.

Well, it's wrong when PC software pretends we're going to abide by their stupid licensing rules, and it's wrong when AIM and MSN spies on your conversations. Nintendo joining a long list of people doing things in stupid ways doesn't make them smart.

What are the terms of use on Live Arcade games, anyway?

Opening Sunday morning at 8 am.

After drinking Saturday night with TNLers I'll be heading over to my nephews dorm room to crash for a few hours and then head to the NWS.

lol AIM is going to tell your gf you're boning her sister.

If you're not doing shit, it won't matter.

What do you need 11x17 for? A dvd insert is just shy of 11 inches, so it should print fine on regular paper unless your printer needs a large margin at the edge of the page.

If you still need it though, most copy shops will sell you a few sheets of loose 11x17 sheets so you don't have to buy a full pack.

It gets cut off from like you said, the margin. Plus my printer is low on ink, so I'll have the gf print from a better printer at work.

See a couple posts up. I stated that NWS is not having a midnight launch. Shin JohnPV mentioned the opening time (8am?) TRU in Times Square is having midnight launch and Fils-Aime is handing out first Wii at that location.

Thanks, guys. Now i dunno if I can come out for Saturday's gathering. I haven't much money to begin with, and I already put the money down for the Wii...

This isn't the thread for this discussion, but "the innocent have nothing to fear" argument is one used by people best disposed of.

Also, I'd be the one telling the gf in the hopes of a three-way.
