I got invited to a party tonight and my first thought was 'oh no, but Mario Galaxy's out'. I'll just have to get it tomorrow instead.

It's OK playing it with a hangover, right?

Unbeliveable, tried the phone lines too. I've emailed them an angry letter of cancellation. As I mentioned in the email, I'm going to take the train into town at lunchtime to buy it in GAME.

Official site says the other game due for release had problems when played on a component cable...

Let's face it, with Mario Galaxy out, who's going to be buying VC games today?

I can confirm now that we currently have stock of Super Mario Galaxy in our warehouse and your game will be dispatched shortly. We fulfil our orders in a first come first served basis and that's the reason why some customers have already received their preorders for mentioned game.

I hope this helps, but please feel free to contact us again should you have any further questions.

Got a replay from Nintendo regarding the stars;
Dear Customer, thank you for your e-mail.

I am sorry that the response did not fully resolve your query but it is related. The web site is undergoing major work and this has taken priority over the WII/Stars transfer. I do believe that this will come but I can not advise you, as I do not know myself, when this is likely to be.

Kind regards,

Your Nintendo Team

If it's any consolation my local Game had shelves and shelves of the thing so if anyone has a shortage it's probably because they weren't able to figure out that the biggest game of the year for the Wii might sell a few copies.

Did you manage to grab one?

Already did, just after going to Game and trading in RE4 (most disappointing game) for it. Plus I got the strategy guide, which my five year olds will LOVE poring over. And Endless Ocean.

Talking of component...

Is it worth the extra money for the official cable or will I get just as good a picture buying 3rd party?

Me going all HD next week :D (hopefully
