haha I first looked and thought it was a guy in a panda suit or something.

As far as pre-orders go... I've gone with Myer, although if I hadn't done that already, I would probably go with the Gametraders package.

And as far as the drugs go... I went through a stoner(pot) phase from the beginning to the middle of '04 lol but I don't do it anymore, *sigh* they were such fun times though.

Stay away from those hippies and drugs, kids!

Haha I was in that phase from 17 1/2 - 18 (my birthday is coincidentally exactly halfway thru the year, so i was on from early that year to the middle)

While I don't do it anymore, they were some crazy times... We had so much fun! I still got some of our photos too.

How old are you?

Yeah more Australasia thread then but here some Aussie news all the announced Wii midnight launches are in this link (which was sent out by Nintendo)

Wii MIDNIGHT LAUNCHES AROUND AUSTRALIA


With only days to go till the launch of Nintendo's groundbreaking new home console, Wii, Australian retail feedback suggests that Wii is heading towards being the biggest launch of any new video games system in our history.

Retailers around the country are preparing for midnight launches, to help make Wii units widely available to consumers as soon as possible.

To guarantee your purchase of a Wii unit it is recomended that you pre-order at your favourite retailer before launch, as it is expected stock will sell out fast, with pre-orders already running out.

Following are the stores that have announced they are opening on December 6 for a Midnight launch. Join us in the Wii Midnight Parties!
