Nintendo Wii
tommy:
When you get it/if, post some first impressions of graphics and the controler handling, make sure you play for a few hours because such a new controller will take time to get used to.
Frosty:
Did the pre-order thing at Toys R US last week. Amazingly, I showed up no more than 35-40 minutes before (this was about my limit--didn't really feel like waiting more than an hour. Figured I'd take my chances on release date if that didn't work....) the store opened and was number 20 in line for the Wii.
I was in, paid for the pre-order and out the door in less than 45 minutes total. Sweet!

I'll get one after xmas, only because I'm working so much overtime that I wouldn't have time to play it anyways.

Yeah, shouldn't be too busy there. ;) There's a lot of people trumpeting the fact that Wii's will be plentiful at launch but I remain skeptical. I hope Nintendo proves me wrong.

Plentiful yes, but Nintendo is still saying that they expect them to sell out, despite having such a large number of them.

I'm guessing they probably will sell out most places on launch day, but it'll take several hours to sell out so you shouldn't have to be there at opening to get one. Also, if the supplies are as plentiful as they expect, then everyone who wants one should be able to easily get one within the first month of the release since more large shipments should come in a week or two after launch day.
