    Just off to GAME to sit in a queue till 7am when it opens to pickup my Wii. I feel like I'm 8 again and it's Christmas. Gotta love being excitable about stuff like this.

    Ah, that would explain why Amazon didn't dispatch my copy yesterday, however it's "Dispatching soon" now though, so hopefully it'll come tomorrow. The Wii however is out for delivery!

    Got mine from tesco last night, they had 47 - no preorder necessary.

    They had plenty of copies of wiiplay bundled with 'motes, no component cables though :(

    Anyone got theirs from Woolies yet? I'm going to pick mine up from Woolworths later hopefully, but the page on the internet still says processing (they've taken my money though) and the store refuses to answer on the phone. :grr:

    Composite (yellow video, red and white audio) and a scart adaptor - not great! You can buy an RGB scart or a component cable for a much better picture, think there's a vga cable in the Japanese market too, though may be wrong.

    Yeah. We don't get RGB or component till the 15th apparenty but in actual fact the component seems to look and work alright. Luckly though I wont notice as I'm using it on the lame TV down stairs and EVERYTHING looks pants on that one :p

    Just phoned up Woolies, apparently my Wii has been dispatched to my store, so they don't have it yet.

    Normally I'd be annoyed, but its actually convenient for me as I managed to order the Wii for a London store, and I'm still at uni at the moment. I was considering going down to London to pick up my Wii, then coming all the way back again, only to go back down with all my stuff tomorrow... :D

    Looking forward to Monday. :)

    I don't have anythign to compare it to but the composite connection looks fine on my 36" SD CRT downstairs. The colours are vivid and the definition is good. I wouldn't ever guess it was composite if I didn't know. Still waiting for the component cable obviously but this really looks fine.

    You can hack the composite cable apart to turn it into a component if you want to.

    My local Woolies got 3 wii's this morning!

    They had 8 pre-ordered!

    I got there in 2 and half mins after I got the text! Even then, one had already gone!

    And now i can't play because i'm at work, but i've got it sitting on the desk in front of me, looking all small and shiny :p

    :D so happy :D
