Hater

If they steal the Wiimote, then we have a Wii with fantastic graphics

It would be a cheap move of course, and no way they could get away with it. (and didn't nintendo steal the analogue stick from sony?? The ps1 was there before the N64)

Of the two companies, Nintendo had the analogue stick first. It came on the default controller for the N64, whereas Sony brought out a modified version of their original control after the N64's launch. The analogue stick was the N64's equivolent of the Wii's motion sensor: a hyped unique feature intended to revolutionise gaming. It's one of the reasons Mario64 was so awe-inspiring - 3d and with analogue controls!

It was a cheap move, and they got away with it.

:goes back to hammering refresh in the hopes of catching one of amazon.uk's new batch of Wiis: Wish me luck, folks.

Ah ok, didn't know that. Never knew the ps1 started without the analogue stick. Good luck finding a Wii indeed it's madness, all are gone, next badge is already gone, probably won't be cuddling my Wii before 2007

:wailing rings about the arena: Gah! I had one! Ordered! All set! Perfect! It would have been here tomorrow! Then like a complete moron I followed the tip posted on the top of my order summery screen "If you buy any more items with 1-click ordering it will be added to this one to save you postage" So I added Zelda, rather than have it come seperately. Bang, order drops from dispatching today to dispatching 7th February.

GAH!

Understandably I have now sent Angry Emails to amazon.

Nothing for me. Damn Facebook distracting me at the crucial moment. Argh. My cunning plan for making £200, gone!
