With all this crap concerning the ps3 I will be watching the Wii more closely. Especially if SNK/Playmore is going Wii exclusive because Sony gives them the shaft on 2d gaming.

Yay, a release date finally! November 19 isn't so far away, so I better start saving up some $$$, even though it's considerably a lot cheaper than the PS3. I will most likely get the Wii on release date. Thanks for the news, as always, Vic.

If that's true it's time for an european based console, maybe it's time to chat with the guys of Guerilla

Just finished watching the press conference. Wii is coming in Europe on December 8th, priced £179 in UK, 249 Euro in Europe, with Wii Sports included in the package. Unfair currency conversion, but not bad, overall!

To be honest, I wasn't really planning to get NINTENDO Wii but after checking the videos out, and knowing all about the CHANNELS this baby is going to have.... I was sold. Just amazing. The channels seems to give the Wii a better Dashboard, even better then the one of XBOX 360.
Sorry to mention this but for what I have seen of PS3....it lacks alot of things. But I know friends who are in love with the PS3 dashboard. Oh well. Wii is on the top. Nintendo is quite amazing at times.

I'll admit that my views about Nintendo has been changing. At 1st I would never think about messing around with any Nintendo product, but I've taken a little interest in the Wii. (Just a little)
With that being said, it still hasn't hit me. While the $250 price tag sounding nice and all, it still hasn't given me a reason to be motivated. In all honesty, none of the next gen consoles has me jumping for joy. (I actually lost quite a bit of interest in gaming.)

So depressing...I just found out the Wii is not region-free...argh, that means I have to save up an additional $300 (because of import costs) just to buy a US and JP Wii.
