Not sure if they are any good or not but I have Wii Play ordered with them. Hopefully they will ship soonish.

Quick question for those who already have a wii / are in the know, is the console always on and connected to the internet if just a wi-fi connection is used (i.e. no cat5 going in to the console)?

It you want CAT5 then you have to use some sort of add-on.

Anyone else in the UK getting embarrassingly over-excited?

I think it's the Zelda factor.

Picking one up in the morning from GAME, with Sports, Play and RR as a Christmas prezzie for two of my nieces... Got it launch day, no problem.

I cannot praise GAME too much on this, I popped in a few weeks ago to see if I could get one, they took my details, called me back, and got one for me no problem. They even put some games aside for me... Really impressed.

Still not interested in the console however

But the kids are going to love it I am sure.

Me. I barely slept last night. Tonight is probably going to be worse.

It's like it's Christmas Eve and I'm 8 years old again

Now this could open up some interesting possibilities

Excited? Yes. Embarrassed? Nah.

I think this is the first time I've felt like this about a games machine since I got a Megadrive with Sonic. I've had others in between, but my expectations were just "its more of the same with nicer graphics and a slighly modified gamepad).

Tomorrow will be spent hoping for Royal Mail to deliver a parcel of Wiixcitement. (sorry).

It's out today.

Around 200 people waiting in front of Yodobashi Camera:

Wow. They managed to get all the Japanese 360 owners in one place at the same time...

They look really ashamed of themselves.

So will there be another 300 pages of gloating after everyone (ish) gets one tomorrow ?

And there will be much gnashing of teeth until I get to unwrap mine after I get it. Bah Humbug!
