Check out Wii Pre Order to really see how they are struggling with stock

They are quite easy to find in France, which I find to be a bit odd.

[Lee]

Get them bought then Eddie and flog them on ebay UK, you'll make a killing!

All I ever heard from French lasses was "non"

That was the worst h/t ever.No music for 10min no goals for 10 min just to blokes playing tennis and all we could here was the occasional tennis ball bounce

Yeah we managed to make a Wii look boring!!

Well Done Nintendo and Rovers

I managed to get my hands on a Nintendo Wii on Thursday, it is bleeding fantastic, so much more fun than just pressing buttons on a controller. Tennis, Baseball and Boxing on Wii Sports are fantastic but knackering!

I got one for my birthday last week and it is ace!!! I really like the sports pack. I've been playing on the tennis more than anything else - became a pro last night

I can't get my Wii fitness age below 39 though:(

[rock steady]

1. get a few friends around

2. get a lot of alcohol

3. play wii bowling

Clare there a couple of points I would like to make about what you have written there...but I will leave them for Abbey to make.

anyone care to exchange codes? mario strikers charged is out next week and it will be the first game that can be played online.

my code is 1296 9386 7144 7658.

Just placed my order on wii.giveaway and i will be getting a £179.99 amazon voucher to get my wii. So hopefully i should have mine soon and be able to exchange codes.

Is there more to the Wii than the novel control? Are the games actually good? I'm not going to buy one, as I am poor, and have a Mega Drive and a PS1 already. The control system does look lots of fun though.

On a slightly related note, if you have small kids, I've found that the PS2 Eye Toy is popular, and is probably safer than playing on a dance mat during drunken parties.

No, but it is nothing less than you ask to be for the price tag.

Yes, Tiger Woods is awesome and has improved my golf technique in real life. Although my tennis is still as rubbish as ever.

[Billy Castell]

You play golf Christian? Oh dear. And i bet I'm a lot worse at tennis. I can't serve overarm, and just aim for getting it over the net.

I found the control system in Tiger Woods to be really disappointing, but with it being an EA Sports title I expected it. If only it had a swing like the Wii Sports golf game, not the power bar bit, just a system that recognises when you're swinging a lot better.

Yeah, i am getting better each year, handicap of 26 now!

Thats what tennis is all about boyo!

I find it more useful for tactics than for the actual physical swing, nothing beats the course for that. Graphics aren't anything special but still the game play is good enough!

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

I currently have Wii Sports and Zelda, but am planning to buy either one of 3 games:

-Godfather

-Red Steel

-Call Of Duty 3

Godfather has more of a GTA feel to it than Red Steel, but Call Of Duty is said to have the better graphics. Anyone have one/both of these games and willing to recommend?

I bought this. It's ###### mental.

Is this your console code or your Strikers code? Or are they the same thing? Stupid online system. Playing ranked games against unknowns is the easier bet.

[rock steady]

thats my console code. i think when you exchange console codes your mii characters can go into each others plaza.

i don't have mario strikers charged but a friend has it and i've played it quite a bit. i'm not very good at it though so i usually get beat online. also the lag doesnt help but i think that's my fault because im playing wireless.

[modes98]

Got my wii on friday, been playing on it a fair bit since. How do you get the code thing?

[Eddie]

Do wii games have regions?
