Good Grief, look how long the comments are here:
http://www.lik-sang.com/news.php?artc=3901

Hundreds and hundreds of anti-sony hatred, sony boycott, and 360-buying pledges. A few domain-buying examples, lots of swearing, and the normal Wii60 stuff.

Look at it all.
Its all so....

..beautiful

Who are the 6 buying an original XBOX? And why I wonder?

Interesting that the PS2 has now overtaken the PSP again though.

Before the PSP's release, what were PS2's sales like?

General Wii info from Edge (via Go Nintendo)

- CNN has signed up with Nintendo as the provider of news content on tne News Channel in American and Japan. News will be presented by category, but another way of getting to it is by spinning the weather globe to find stories in different countries

- Sega has moved a significant number of development staff from PS3 to Wii over the Summer

- Although Nintendo has removed DVD movie playback from the Wii, it plans to launch in Japan next year an enhanced Wii capable of such a feature

- Nintendo intended to bring Wii to shop shelves in the UK and US for Â£150 and $200, but became influenced by pressure from the larger retail chains, which raised concerns over margins and low so-called â€˜basket valueâ€™ (ie, the amount of revenue generated from a customerâ€™s overall purchases at the till)

- There are plenty of Wii Channel slots remaining to be filled

worst idea EVER.

I wonder if this is because theres some dumb rules stopping dvd-player lisence fees from being tied to a software download :-/

blah.
That I can believe.

Nintendo "We were thinking of charging Â£150"
Game "Why not make it an even Â£180"
Nintendo "Sure"

meh.
Google News would have been a much better choice.
More democratic, less bias, and can be specific to country rather then region.

I'm having trouble deciding what games to buy. I definately want Excite Truck (I'm a sucker for racing games like that) but the closer we get to launch the more stuff I'm getting interested in.

I need to save some money for virtual console stuff too.

The screenshots of the interface comes from the latest edition of IGN Weekly (Epsiode 30)

It's worth a watch. If only to see how accurate the wimote is as a mouse.

Looks almost exactly the same as the earlier ads to me.

I think I will have to have a go before I can decide about the Wii, if the Wii-Stick doesn't respond quickly or accurately enough it would be shitty bum.

Anyone think you will be able to walk into a shop and buy one after its released? Surely it won't be as bad as the 360 shortages?

It does but with the slight change that the people in it aren't jumping around like idiots making excessive arm movements. One of them is just sat on his couch twitching his arm. The best way to play
