Posts: 12380 		Get there early. There were no standalone remotes, and there weren't enough Wii Plays to fill all the pre-orders. We were given numbers as we arrived, and at midnight went up to the till in order to buy what we wanted.

Wii + Wii Play + Nunchuck.

I need POINTS and a MEMORY CARD. And probably a classic controller too. And Zelda. But it'll all have to WAIT.

Posts: 15100 		The Wii can play DVD's, right?

Can you use the waving-around of the Wiimote to control the cursor in the DVD menus?

Also, the reason I'm mentioning this, is to REMIND MOSS TO BUY LEXX IF HE HASN'T YET.

No.

Well, I think there's a DVD playing Wii model planned but it's not been announced for anywhere outside Japan.

Posts: 9348 		I'm not too fussed about it not playing DVDs. I already have three things in my living room that play them...

Meanwhile: I'VE BEEN ASLEEP ALL DAY AND NOT EVEN PLUGGED IN MY WII :(

Posts: 1291 		Can it even play CDs? I've not tried. Nintendo are very careful not to call the discs "CDs", but I suspect they are very similar in terms of capacity.

Congrats to all who got theirs! Over here it was almost impossible to secure a pre-order. Did you queue up early just to get it at midnight, or did you have to?
