Default So who's going to get a Wii?

I really can't wait for this to come out now, it's shaping up to be something pretty special. I never caught the gamecube fever but i'm wiiing myself I want to play mario galaxy and the new zelda. Also its the cheapest next gen console coming out, but I still can't really afford it

Donations to the Alex want a wii fund this way

//Edit: I can't edit my title and i'm a retard, excellent

I'm not a fan of consoles that try to be PC's like the playstation and the xbox but i think nintendo have managed to separate the market again hopefully

I think it will be pretty cool but I can't see myself getting one, at least not also without getting a huge TV which isn't going to happen any time soon. The name is an insane kind of genius also because everyone wants to see how outlandish they can make the puns based around it so everyone is talking about it, PS3 or Xbox 360 hardly conjures up the same interest.

I've pre-ordered from two separate companies. If I happen to get two on release day then so be it!

Ah-ha thats great, I don't really want to buy one, BUT I wouldn't want you being shafted and recieving two. This is genius, if you recieve two, I will most likely buy the second off you if thats OK, second hand rates of course . No but seriosuly, i know i shouldn't but this is the perfect excuse, i can't justify pre-ordering, i know i wont get one in the shops, but i'll want one as soon as everyone else gets one . How about that dude?

Poo now i want a DS-lite to pass the time, i told myself i wouldn't bother we a DS, but Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, Maybe even nintendogs and others are calling me. I keep seeing a uni friend playing on his and it's just taunting me.

If i'm honest I haven't read up on the Wii all too much because i want to keep all the cool stuff a suprise for myself, but does it in anyway use the DS/DS-Lite cleverly? Ie. can i justify buying one?

I keep thinking of getting a DS Lite just for Nintendogs (can't have a dog here, and AIBO isn't exactly portable, so next best thing I guess - yes, I am that sad. )
