whos got the wii internet channel? if you do then one question............
did your wii slow down......or the sensor isnt that sensitive anymore on the wii menu..............?
Has the Wii slowed down to the point of it being unbearable? When I first set it up it took forever to download the update it needed, but what I found helpful is to change the channel on your wireless router to either 1 or 11.
Your sensor bar may have shifted. Make sure it's parallel to the edge of your TV and that it won't move.
I get mine tomorrow
Well at last my Wii is almost here. After ordering it on the 28 December 2006 and being told that I would get delivery on the 3 Jan 07 I thought GREAT:thumbsup: However as my order was still showing as "Awaiting to be dispatched" I phoned and was told that my order had been lost and I would have to re-order.
I't amazing how quick you can get one (if they are in stock) when you complain. So my new order gets delivered on 05 Jan 07. So thats 1 full day off work and lets see what I can break first with the Wii remote

I got one, but in an untraditional way. I traded my Xbox 360 for one.

Wii Hunt 2007 Success!!!!
I've been on the hunt since christmas. For the past two days I have been sitting outside/around ebgames waiting for their ups truck to come in. On tuesday I waited for about 7.5 hours because I got there early so I was first in line if any but nothing came. Wednesday I got there a little after the store opened and waited till 4:00 for the truck to come in and sure enough I had my wii with zelda minutes later. All this waiting was well worth it.

Pre orderd mine from game weeks before launch only to be told I missed a phonecall and so was taken off list ;(
Pre ordered from gamestation, was told by the wife that they had phones and that I was to late for launch and would prolly have it in 1 to 2 weeks time.
Then the wife told me thay they didnt have any for me.
Comes Xmas day and I open a pressie only to find its a wii, the wife had only received it on day 5 after launch, cheeky blighter had hiden it from me.
How happy was I? wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii happy indeed.
Got Zelda and GT PRO, returned GT PRO and swaped for RAYMAN instead and I only ended up paying £20 for Rayman too

Finally. I broke myself free of the Wii for a little break and figured I'd share the story.
I work pretty unhappy hours on key days, I have to be at work by 5am. So that meant the launch, any camping out Sunday mornings (yes 5am there too), pretty much any waiting in line for a Wii wasn't posssible. So I stuck myself to searching during the weekdays here and there on a lunch break or on a precious day off trying to time it just right to meet a shipment.
The first time I set out to get a Wii I ran down to Toys R Us on a Sunday around 3-ish. I asked if any came in and the sales rep pointed at a couple just ahead of me in line and said "There's the last two right there." Being the kind hearted soul that I am I blurted out "Are you f-ing kidding me?" without even thinking about where I was. Head hung low I started to turn around and so began the famous counter to whenever I ask for a Wii... "You want a PS3? We have some of those still."
Of course being so close I hit up all the surrounding stores for a chance, but no luck. For the next two weeks I hit about 10 stores in person each time I ran out, for we'll say about 8 trips. The counter-question kept haunting me everwhere I went. Hell, Best Buy had twenty PS3's sitting in a display stack almost every time.
Getting sick of the run around I signed up for itrackr yesterday after hunting and being told "Nope, UPS didn't bring any on this truck" and not 30 minutes later I had a text/email that the same target that told me UPS allready came had twenty of them. Racing over there doing 15 over the speed limit I asked for a Wii with the biggest grin on my face... he looked at me and told me I have the best timing, they just opened the boxes maybe 10 minutes ago. (They were still unpacking them at the counter)
Long story over, I walked out with a Wii and Zelda trembling with anticipation to get home. I've put in 10 hours of TP already.
