Looks like Play are the first online retailers to be taking preorders.

Looking mighty fine at that price - one of those and an Xbox 360 should see me alright for games until the PS3 launches! ;)

Dunkle, it's well known that you know a thing or two about displays etc., so I was wondering what advice you would give somebody on the lookout for a 40/42" or so TV, primarily for HD gaming and movies? Is 1080p even worth considering at this very early stage? Budget isn't really an issue, but I'm limited for space, hence the relatively small size. For the record, viewing distance will be about 2.5m, which seems about right for my preferences.

Cheers.

I'm in two minds about it, ok the price is nice but I'm still sore from the crapcube experience.

Waste of time. This is one console you won't have to pre-order.

Nintendo have confirmed that the Wii will be region locked, unlike the 360 and PS3, where only the games can be region specific.

So unlike the DS, we may not get to play some of the Jap/US releases without modding the console.

Hi all

Been lurking for months and months now but not posting. Personal life went somewhat off the rails last year but things settling and starting to take interest in my gaming again.

Have got a 360 and fairly pleased with it, enough that I will not be going down the preorder route for the PS3.

I will definitely be picking up a Wii at launch though. Went into Game today and "registered my interest", though they are not yet taking deposits as they await confirmation from Nintendo as to allocation.

Have been getting my girlfriend gradually into gaming and to my amazement (she was very sceptical at first) she is quite taken with the 360. have high hopes that the Wii will completely convert her given its non-gamer friendly attitude. For myself, I wasn't really that bothered, but in the last week or so the idea suddenly took me and am now looking forward to swishing the remote around come launch day. Also, being the Star Wars nut that I am, there must surely be a lightsaber game coming in '07 and I can't resist the idea of combining my favourite mythical weapon with the Wii's remote. Plus the back catalogue and new Zelda is pretty tempting.

:D

Opti


edit: can anyone post me a link for a new Optimus avatar? I'm hopeless at finding a picture that the Gamecell control panel will allow and my old picture appears to have died!

How rude - anyone would think I was a sweary influence or summink.

Welcome back, Opti - the gang's almost all here again...only taken a year or so.

Oh and Dunky - I get the strong feeling that W4nk4 may be one of us - I don't wanna have to register properly or I couldn't post my pearls of wisdom from work...well, I could, but I can't be arsed.
