Not sure about the Wal-Mart scenario but my roomate was outside BestBuy for the 360 lauch. He said the store opened at 8am and he got there at like 10pm. He was 8th in line and by 6am there were about 40 people in line (the store only had 12 systems). Anyway, he said it was fun. Everyone brought chairs and lots of blankets and hot choclate and they all sat around talking about games and playing DS.

 

 

 

That would be pretty fun, but I don't want to have to sit out there for 10 hours.

 

 

 

On a similar note, if I were to preorder, what's a good store to preorder from? (I think I have the choice of EBGames/Gamestop, Target, Walmart, Best Buy, and Circuit City in my area...)

Good question, my room-mate is planning to preorder from Amazon.com, but I don't know his reasons. Anyone else have any thoughts?

I'm also kidn of hoping to keep it less than $50 on a credit card and pay the rest myself (Because I hate borrowing my parents credit cards =\ )

Borrowing credit cards from your parents is a lot better than having your own, spending to much, and having a heart attack after you look at your bill :P .

I already had a heart attack when I got my DS and games and spent $250.... then by the time I was ~50 miles away from the store I realized it :P

Im in Sixth form with a part time saturday job which earns me ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã90 a month which isnt bad but I need money from that so I dont want to hear *Just?!11 s4ve up 2 m0nts FF5?!' Maybe your just some 16 yr old dumb arse builder who earns a grand a month? Or maybe Daddy'll buy it for you.

 

 

 

Get stuffed.

That's a pretty cabbage part-time job if you're only getting 90 in 4 weeks :uhh: Then again, how many hours are you doing a week?

 

 

 

Only 5 :D

Isn't that like ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã4.5 an hour? That's under min wage... Ask for a pay rise. :P

Sure, its fairly cheap, but since the graphics supposedly won't be noticibly better than current-gen consoles, it can't stack up to its contendors.

You guys seriously owe me a cookie or something...

That is a guerrilla marketting ploy :D . It's not restricted at all, they let it "leek" everywhere.

The graphics are as good as they need to be, they're better than gamecube but not as good as xbox360 and ps3 but then..who needs realistic grass when you can have games like Twilight princess and Red Steel :wink:

sweet...Wal-Mart ftw..already goot 60 osmething dollars there in gift cards.....Id better start getting some cash..soon :oops:

Wouldn't be surprised if it was just a marketing ploy. If it is, it's pretty genius.

 

 

 

Not like there's any special information there, that's just the standard stuff press gets so they can do articles.

 

 

 

Still pretty awesome, though. The hardware shots especially are cool to see.

Could we turn this into an official discussion thread? :P Anyway what games are you guys getting at launch? I'm deffinately getting Twilight Princess but the other game I cant decide..Red Steel looks awesome but that Rayman game looks like a hell of alot of fun :oops:

 

 

 

People are complaining about the graphic but I really dont know why :? They're better than the xbox but not as good as the 360/PS3 but why do we need 360/PS3 graphics anyway? Twilight Princess looks awesome, who really needs to see the sweat on *insert sports player here*'s face? :P

None! Except Wii Sports :)

On the topic of TP, seems like it'll only be a GC title in North America :-?

This is what i got in an e-mail from gamestop

 

 

 

By my last post, i meant that North America is the only country that'll get the GC version of Twilight Princess.

 

 

 

Just to clear up any confusion.

I'm suprisingly looking foward to the new mario on the system too. I'm realy wondering what they will do with it with the new controller (and I hope they redeem what they did with sunshine 8-) ).

 

 

 

 

 

Of course, twilight princess looks amazing.

I am going to be buying Twilight Princess and Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. I don't know when Twilight Princess is available, but Marvel: Ultimate Alliance is available the 17th, so I will have it before I get my Wii.

For a cheap sum of 219$ USD, I can furnish a copy of TP for you :)

For anyone that wants to know, latest launch list is available at the site of the Revolution Magazine (..."revolution-mag.." <<*hint*)

This is odd...

 

 

 

To summarize, the Wii version of Twilight Princess will be like looking in a mirror at the GC version :shock: . So if you play the game cube one and you pass a house on your left, at the same exact spot in the Wii version the house will be on your right.

 

 

 

This is actually pretty cool, and I almost want to buy both versions to play through it mirrored.
