Anyone got any rough idea when the current situation with the Wii (IE, not being able to get one) is going to change? I'm not desperate to get one and refuse to pay silly ebay prices on principle, but was just wondering if anyone had a halfway-educated guess as to when the supply should increase/demand will tail off? The thing has nearly been out 3 months now, it's starting to get a bit silly and seem less like "Wow everyone wants one" and more like "Wow, Nintendo really have rubbish manufacturing/distribution facilites".
The fool in Game who clearly knows a great deal about economics helpfully informed me, "If demand keeps up as much as it is now, they'll keep selling out quickly." Can anyone top that little nugget?

Are they still impossible to get? Pff. I played one and was distinctly unimpressed with every game. Even Zelda.

Have you tried them? They get really really boring really fast.. it's like a novelty item that you're fascinated with for about half an hour.

i just had another tennis tournament with a mate and after weeks and weeks it just gets better and better. I havent even played zelda yet but i dont ever regret having bought mine. So many great games to look forward to, like mortal kombat, mario galaxy, metroid prime, hopefully a new mario kart. These games all start with the letter M.

And they're all sequels, I wish there were some new intellectual properties. But they should all be great anyway, except Mortal Kombat.

Balls. Turns out my family and girlfriend spent ages looking and managed to get me one for my birthday (yesterday). Unfortunately, the CD drive on it is knackered. On the phone to Game at the moment, as ideally I want a replacement by saturday for when my mates come down.
DM: I've played hours on them, I really enjoy it. As J198 says, you can play tennis for ages and not get bored of it. Warioware (which I have) is insanely good too.

No problem, I'm the same with yours, I can only ever remember it's in June. :)
Just spoke to Game and should have a new one tomorrow hopefully. I've got Excite Truck, which is really good; it's a bit like Smuggler's Run. Also have Warioware (which I bought ages ago), Rayman Raving Rabbits (more like Mario party than a normal rayman game) and I've got the ubiquitous Wii Play and Wii Sports. Also got the full complement of controllers, so Saturday should be a good laugh.

Don't worry, it's going to be gash, aside from the fact everyone bar you (and possibly Mr. Kirby) will be attending, we've got in loads of drink, various curries and sushi will be made saturday afternoon and Singstar Rocks has just arrived too. :D
Game just emailed to confirm the replacement Wii will be with me tomorrow.

Well, I hope you will continue finding joy in it then! And congratulations on your birthday, although a bit overdue! I'll send you some fondue.

Excellent, dessert was one thing we still needed to sort out, so could you make it a chocolate one?
I could set up my chocolate fountain, but I've never managed to get the consistancy of the chocolate quite right.

Sure thing! In fact, I'll send two. One chocolate and one fish!
