Actually I think you just press the SD card and it'll pop out.

Hurray! We've broken our first Wiimote. A tennis fore-arm smash straight into the side of the telly.

Curious.
I guess the lights on the bar arnt the same each side, so it knows one is left and one is right.
(either that or it detects the flip with the tilt...but thats not absolute...so maybe if you rotated it really slowly it would reverse)

Apparantly no shipments before January for Benelux after the 8th of December (mate who works at shop told me)... Could imagine the same thing happening for other region's as well.

So I guess the first thing to do when getting a Wii is to reinforce the strap on the controller?

(spare controllers onroute already too!)

A US machine? But they are region locked, right?

Slightly worried now. The US still haven't gotten component cables. Play.com and Game have removed them from their sites. Only Amazon still have the release date.
For fuck sake.

Composite makes me cry

Oddly Play.com haven't cancelled my component cable preorder (Got one preordered at Game and Play just to make sure. I can always send the play.com one back if I need too).

Composhite is going to look bloody awful on my HDTV. RGB 'aint much better either.

You could make your own component cable.

Just follow the instructions from these blokes here:
