oww..that just got me thinking, Damocles DS would be lovely.

Mmm, yes. Or perhaps a Mercenary trilogy pack (including Escape From Targ and the Damocles add-on disks).

I went to Best Buy today to see about preordering a Wii. The don't think the person at customer service knew what it was as she asked me to repeat it several times. When I asked someone else I made sure to say that I'd like to preorder a "Playstation 3 or Nintendo Wii" just to put it in context with something the drone is bound to have heard of

And of course Best Buy does not take preorders for consoles so I am out of luck. Guess I'll take my chances on launch day.

Skah, you'll have better luck at GameStop/EBGames. I find it odd they haven't announced anything about their pre-order policy yet.

It's quite weird how everyone in the UK is doing pre-orders but virtually nobody in the US is taking any orders yet for the November launch. Last I heard is that GameStop will announce something within a week or so but I guess we'll see.

I've got a Best Buy, GameStop, Walmart, Toys R Us, CompUSA, Circuit City and Target all within a 5 minute drive of each other so I might be able to get away without a pre-order.

Erg. Not a big fan of EBGames and GameStop, but I may make an exception to have a Wii

So regular Nintendo-style AV-multi-out then? Whatever happened to the VGA they promised?

Guessing this means deffo no Wii for Mii...

The guy doing the video says it can handle component, so presumably it's not just the normal N64/Gamecube AV out and Nintendo or a 3rd party company could release a VGA cable for it.

The big shops never do pre-orders (so that's Walmart, Best Buy, Target, Circuit City etc). I don't think Gamestop are doing pre-orders until they know their allocation. Trying to prevent an Xbox360-like farce from last year (I was there in the US at the launch, just timing, it was not pretty!).

That would be uber-lovely.

I never finnished Damocles once, let alone the add-ons.
(I did Mercenary and Second City mind)

Yep, one console code, not individual codes per game. This should go some way toward pleasing Bubba

Now let's just hope David Yarnton doesn't shoot it down tomorrow
