Sites Currently Taking Pre-Orders.
NONE. YOU WILL NOW NEVER GET ANY WII BEFORE CHRISTMAS, TRY EBAY.
Wii Points
Wii points are something used to purchase features for the Wii via Wii Shop Channel. For example you can purchase a NES game for 500 Wii points. £0.75 makes up 100 Wii points. You will need to purchase a "Wii Points card", in order to use this system.
* NES Games = 500 Wii Points
* SNES Games = 800 Wii Points (900 Wii Points in Japan on selected games)
* N64 Games = 1,000 Wii Points
* Sega Genesis Games = 800 Wii Points (600 Wii Points in Japan)
* TurboGrafix 16 Games = 600 Wii Points
Also, another advantage would be consumers would put up Wii points for offer after you buy something. For example, if you buy a Wii game you will get 1500 Wii points.
Virtual Console
You may have heard a few things about Nintendo's Virtual Console, but not quiet sure what it is. The virtual console is another feature in the Wii, which allows you to download NES, SNES, N64, T16, Genesis, Commodore 64 and MSX games.
There is one catch thou, Nintendo's virtual console is not free. You will be required to pay £3.50 for NES titles, £5.60 for SNES, £7.00 for N64, £5.60 for Genesis and £4.20 for TurboGrafx-16 in able to play these.

More importantly, only a week and a day left for Wii launch.
Wii can't wait!

Ah, but we're in a Wii related topic, so it should be.
Heh, so I should be towing the Nintendo line rather than conversing freely?
No, certainly not, but you shouldn't expect sympathy when coming in to a Wii topic and discussing how much you dislike the console/games...
The topic was originally about the countdown to the Wii and everything to look forward to, after all...

Sympathy? As if!
As far as I can see I was chatting to Bullet off-topic about the 360 and you seem to have taken exception to it. :D
As for discussing what i like and don't like about the Wii, I think that's perfectly fair game. If you don't like that then please feel free to go to some forum where any anti-nintendo comments/expressions of doubt about the console's direction are quickly deleted. :D

Of course, any non Nintendo talk should be quashed at the first opportunity ;)
No, I just pointed out that, after you'd said that you and your live friends weren't looking forward to the Wii launch in answer to my original statement, that we were in a Wii launch topic so it wasn't surprising that I and others were looking forward to it as the major event in the gaming calender.
I didn't say anything about your chat about the xbox etc (in this topic at least) and would, in fact, look forward to some sort of Mario Kart clone (as long as it was good) on XBL myself, being a fan of arcade racing games. An Arcade version of Outrun would be nice as well (although, if they make Shenmue II 360 compatible that could be solved...

Just had my 'official' confirmation phonecall for my Wii, woot.
It was pretty much confirmed to me before, but it's guaranteed now.
Only bummer is, apparently Wii Play will be in short supply as it's bundled with the remote - and everyone knows accessories are scarce at launch. Just hope I get one...
