Maybe my brain has died, but I think he looks hot in that.

bloody wallpaper.

Talking of star points, when are NoE going to pull the butt plugs out of their arses and allow us to exchange them for Wii points?

Or was it just an excuse to make me sign up to the Nintendo Big Brother Privacy Policy?

Cunts.

So...... close...... now!

I have convinced my missus that we have enough games put away for Xmas and that she should let me play SMG when it arrives and not make me wait for Santa.

Yay me!

Considering that it's been described as everything from the best game on the wii to the best platformer of the last ten years, I can't say I blame you.

Sadly, my fundz are more than a little depleted at the moment, so I'll probably have to wait 'till sometime in december to pick up my copy. I've got MP3 and pikmin 2 (cubie nostalgia FTW!) to keep me going though, so I can't really complain too much.

Pre-ordered my copy of SMG from Amazon who are apparently shipping it tomorrow ......... however, they HAVE shipped the Wii that I managed to snag from the batch that they got in today. It's for my father-in-law, although it's possible that he may change his mind about wanting it - if he does then I'll be doing a 'Wii Raffle' right here on YakYak and sell it for what I paid for it (ie the RRP plus postage plus whatever it costs to send to the winner).

Arse! Just logged-in to my Play account and about Mario Galaxy it says "Your order has been placed, but the item is not yet available...We will not process your payment until the item is available."

Getting nervous now..it's bloody Wednesday FFS!

What's making it worse is that at this moment in time the blurb screen is blank - Mario Galaxy.

Yes, I'm getting really annoyed about that too.

That was in fucking june.

I'm doubly annoyed the gameing press hasnt picked up on this.

Eurogamer is reporting on a ninty comment on an IGN podcase that Wii software games will be encouraged to be small.

Am I alone in thinking this may be a good thing? aside from the obvious "Wii memory is teh small" / "it's not XBOX hueg!" whinge.

On the Amazon page it says:

Amazon.co.uk Availability Announcement

Due to exceptional demand for this title, we have already taken orders to fulfill our release day allocation. As a result, Amazon.co.uk will not be taking any more orders on this product until we have more stock. We would like to assure customers that all current pre-orders will be fulfilled. Please check this web page regularly for further updates.

I was planning to get it from my local shop anyway, but it looks like they might have trouble getting enough too. I might just have to get it sometime later.

I'm getting nervous now too, no confirmation from Virgin about posting it and my order status says 'in progress'. It needs to be posted today to have any chance of arriving on Friday and I want it on Friday no matter what.
