Aye, I've gone for a G6DS now, just got the shout that it's been dispatched.

Opinions soon!

Woo! Metroid Prime 3 looks flippin' ace! My only real concern is that they move too far away from the exploration aspect to appeal to the normal dullard FPS crowd, but aside from that it looks great.

I also don't agree with some impressions I've read where they say that the graphics are only moderately improved over MP2. It's instantly apparent from the videos that while there's not been a massive leap, it's far and away better looking than MP or MP2, or anything currently on the Wii for that matter.

Just got the replacement copy of Forever Blue from Nintendo. The first shipment had a glitch(which only happens in the Aqualium with a certain fish).

Now Wii-less.
Couldn't find the receipt so had to send it back to Ninty - wonder how long it'll take?

Sorry to hear that man, try getting something new for DS instead? How about Pokemon Diamond/Pearl?

Took me about 3 weeks I think. Don't expect to hear anything from them either, mine just arrived back in a jiffy bag a few weeks after I posted it off to them. They wouldn't confirm receipt of it over the phone either, glad I sent it via special delivery or I'd never have know it had got there. It's a million miles off the efficiency of MS / Sony repairs, but I'm sure you'll get a nice new Wii out of it. Do you still have to write them a covering letter explaining what's wrong with it?

Incidentally, what's the problem with it? My launch one had graphical artefacts all over the screen, and we've recently discovered that my friends launch wii also has these (they are barely noticeable over composhite but become massively visible over component).

Cheers
