Apparently, someone in a big Virgin Megastore lost their grip on a demo pod wiimote, the strap broke, and it went over the barrier and into the escalator well where it fell all the way into the basement and shattered.
Have experienced my first Wii problem (no, nothing about being a different colour).
Was messing about in the Mii Plaza and decided to leave and go back to the Wii Menu. Screen fades to black, but the Wii menu didn't turn up. Severla minutes passed and I couldn't power it down so had to unplug the power and then connect it again.
Apart from that, things seem fine. Suspect a Mii may have been arriving and I excited when it was supposed to appear as when I went back a couple of Miis had arrived.
Just got my Wii ,havnt played it yet as its supposed to be my christmas present but i shall probably get a quick go tonight if im good to the mrs if you know what i mean.
I purchased Wii Play with my Wii, looks cool but i mainly got it for the extra remote

Must say most of the games are crap but it's well worth it for the couple that really really do work. Apologies for doubting some posters earlier
And while I'm backtracking I might as well say that Wii Sports, which I previously said I had no interest in, is brilliant in multiplayer (apart from the golf)
Yes, you were right and I was wrong. Playing is believing
Spent an hour or so with Wii Sports, and it's great fun. Whoever that reviewer was that said it's frustrating and doesn't bear much relationship to the movements you make needs a good kicking.
As for Zelda, what can i say: six hours straight last night, and not a sign of cramp. The Wiimote+nunchuck combination is the most comfortable control mechanism i've ever used. The nunchuck in particular is ergonomic genius, and classic controllers now feel like handcuffs to me: forcing your hands/arms into the same position for hours on end, leading to long term rigor mortis. Long live the umbilical revolution! The pointer is a million time betters than an analogue joystick for targetting and the fishing/sword slashing stuff is simplistic but strangely satisfying. The game's fabulous as well, but i never had any no doubts about that.
Seems the Wiimote does indeed detect distance not just displacement, if anyone else has played with the photo channel editing.
(also, when you email yourself, the system lights up )

If you have loads of buddies that frequently visits, I'd go for rayman. But monkey ball seems like the better single-player game.
Mu choice was made for me too that effect.
They didnt have monkey ball
Big Button = Serve is about the limit to the indstructions needed
The other games were mostly the same, purhapes we just the "Hold the button to hold the bowling ball, release to let go" being the only one requiring a few goes. (I was holding it too early at first)

How many here believe I'll be able to keep away from it four days?

...me neither
You owe it to those who dont have one!
Interesting fact, I told my friend If i dont manage to get a Wii, I'll go on holiday to Oslo in a few weeks time, but now i'm not sure... is Oslo a nice place to visit? or should i keep cheking the shops untill my Wii arrives...
I'm sorry to say, but I wouldn't recommend Oslo to anyone. It's a very boring town with prostitutes, junkies and beggars at every corner. I'd rather recommend one of the smaller places, like Tønsberg. Or cities furtner north.

I prefer the throw the ball upwards movement instead of the A button
Exceeded expectations so far, absolutely chuffed with it. The wife and kids all think it's ace too.
I had to really tear myself away from Zelda last night too
