And all that could just also be a ploy to make people buy the HD. More money for MS. 8)

because that worked so well with the PS2 hard drive and Final Fantasy XI :P Ok, I guess it technically was a success in Japan, but it pretty much flopped in America (the majority of American players are on PCs). And since no other game on the ps2 required a harddrive, I think its safe to say that it wasn't much of a success (the harddrive, not FFXI).

SEE Y'ALL IN LINE - I'm planning to get one on launch day. Never done anything this crazy for a game console in my life, but this is our Christmas (wife and I) gift to each other. We've been waiting patiently, and the more I see and hear as "reviewers" write their posts, the harder it is to wait for Sunday morning to arrive!
BTW...rumors are out online, if you haven't seen them, that Sony is not shipping enough PS3's to EB / GameStop - they are only covering 60 percent of the pre-orders. Now personally, THAT would tick me off...to have read that my order might stay in Japan to meet the demand there, instead of coming to me after I paid my money for it?!?

I just read straight from GameStop that it looks like they're stalling online orders in an attempt to be able to fill in-store orders.
Back in topic, I already have my Wii pre-ordered at GameStop.

I plan on getting a Wii on launch, if I get my Target 10% off coupon this week, otherwise I'll have to wait a few days and hope they don't sell out.
I really wish they wouldn't have included the game and sold the system for $199.
I don't buy a lot of games so if Nintendo only puts out 2-3 perfect games a year I'm fine. Personally I thought they did a great job with the GC, Animal crossing, Zelda, Paper Mario, & Pikmin was all I owned.
I did own a Xbox, PS2, GC, & GBA so 2-3 games a system a year = enough good games for me, but probably not enough to make them much $$$.
My brother gave me a 360, otherwise I would have waited another year to get one when they drop the price. I don't have an HDtv so I don't think the system is worth $400 yet.
My personal motto is to never pay full price.
