Well, I really hope those who buy Wiis to resell them on Ebay don't see this but then again for all I know they use this anyway. I found my Wii with this and they are right for every product I've tracked. Said that a local Circuit City had a few in stock, went there that morning and they said no, my dad went back that night and they said they'd have them the next morning. Turns out they were lying and stocking up on them for the next day, and even came up short so I assume they were allowing personal friends the chance to buy them from the back.

Just enter your zip code, it'll give you a list of products such as game consoles and the zune, click one and it'll give a list of store locations and if they are in stock or not. Keep in mind that grey shaded clocks next to the store means they've been there a while and are probably sold out. You can pay I think around a dollar to have them notify you of changes via your cellphone but you can just as easilly use your refresh button, hopefully it brings you the ease it brought me.
EDIT : Hardly worth mentioning, but you may have to sign up as well, nothing time consuming by any means, just your name and the user name and password you want, typical stuff.
Consider a prototype design currently called "Thimble Attachment", the designs are various but each has one consistent detail of at least two thimble shaped objects attaching to the pointer finger and thumb. In theory it's meant to allow for direct manipulation of objects on the television screen giving the player more accuracy than the wiimote's pointer and will be an optional appliance in Generation Two of Wii Hardware releases. No truth in this statement really, just wanted to give you something interesting to read.
It'll probably be just another game in the Jedi Knight series, just guessing really but if they were as lazy as they would be in the worst case scenario of a lightsaber game released for the Wii it will more than likely be a return to Jedi Knight. An original series for a Nintendo system would be beautful, worked wonders for Rogue Squadron anyway, then again there may be no Factor 5 this time.
More stages and characters would be nice, I really doubt extra characters though since Armageddon was supposed to be the finallized Mortal Kombat of every prior game made in the series.
I'm curious about Doctor Mario Wii, it recently showed up in one of ESRB's lists and it's a possibility that it will be one of the first releases for the WiiWare channel. It's small, probably will lack a large amount of replay value, and seems like something you'd find on XboxLive Arcade. I know this is just speculation but it seems that if it were to get released soon it would have a few more mentions by Nintendo since it already has gone by ESRB, usually this happens with VC games and we don't even know what they will consist of until they're released on the shop channel.
It would be interesting if the stylus was incorporated into a fighting game. Personally if there were one like that I'd like a system where you only have to feel around to get the moves, stroking the stylus in a certain direction for average things like a high punch or kick or memorizing sequences of strokes for specials once you hold down the L button such as throws, combos, ect. What do you think of that if it were done right?
Give it the kill bill style violence needed to live up to the name "red" steel, allow the character more physical options such as hacking off limbs or using the environment against the enemies, add FMVs, an improved storylilne and more original controls and it will have definitly reached the heights that were expected of the first one.
Because Sony fans areso desperate for a killer app that they'll label anything decent coming out for the console a masterpiece, kidding, Killzone was one of thoserare gameswhere despite it's flaws (hence the lowish score) it still ended up being highly enjoyable, an example of why the words of critics aren't always golden.
The age old argument of whose is bigger. Just as long as Nintendoshere to stay whatever. Sony on the other hand, I give them the shame dance, no doubt in my mind that they added tilt functionallity at the last minute and lied to make it seem like it was in development for a long while, and all after people in forums were worried that Sony's redesign would copy Nintendo's controller in some way by building a giant spaceship and they were simply called paranoid, shame, shame to them all.
