BB FANS

Nintendo's Wii console went on sale at midnight on Thursday to European gamers, with pre-orders snapped up.

Gamers started queuing outside HMV on Oxford Street in London on Tuesday and Nintendo expects the console to sell out on day one.

More than four million Wiis will be shipped globally this year but there are no specific figures for Europe.

The release comes as Nintendo advises gamers to be more careful when using its new motion-sensitive controller.

The first console in the UK was sold officially to 17-year-old student Marwan Elgamal, from Wembley in north-west London, who had been queuing on Oxford Street for two days.

Story from BBC

Im picking mine up in a bit I preordered in September

I when read about the Wii release I immediately thought of you

Have fun with it but don't forget to hold that controller tight

My daughter wanted Wii for Exmas but her Xbox is broken and she needs a new so she will have to wait till someone gets fed up with their Wii and puts it on Ebay or Gumtree for sale.
Give us a report on the Wii when you gets yours Obo.

muy friend preordeder hers but she hasnt got it today she has to wait till next week

How do you pronounce "Wii" - is it pronounced "why" or "wheeee"?

i think it's Wee - at least that's how it was pronounced on the BBC last night.

As in "I need a....!"

My friend eventually got hers yesterday and she says its great

It's the best thing ever

Anyone with a wii (pronounced WE as in "we play together" or something?) wishing to swap Mii's with me my code is 2777 2587 7626 8702

My son pre-ordered his and picked it up on the Friday, got a great deal cos he part-exchanged the gamecube (I miss Mario Carts!). The boys certainly seem to love Wii-ing all over the place (my son's msn tag line!). I had a wee (no pun intended) go on the first day but haven't been able to get near it since as Chris is playing (or is that addicted to?) Zelda.
