So in my last blog post you would have seen that I pre-ordered the Wii and today is Friday the 8th meaning the Wii launched yesterday. I was too busy to go to the midnight launch and was busy during the day so I went around 8pm to Toys R Us and picked it up. I paid AU$529 and got the Wii Console, Zelda, WiiPlay + a extra Wii-mote, some stupid Wii carry bag and coupons for Wii games, dvds and other discounts on products at Toys R Us values at $400. I already used one of my coupons to buy a second Nunchuck so I got it for $20 instead of $30. All up I thought it was a pretty good deal. There seemed to be plenty of Wii's to go around and a lot left over, doesn't seem it was as popular as the US launch! I'm pretty happy about that because I didn't have to fight for my Wii :D

The thing I like about this generation of consoles is that you can't make comparisons between the 360, PS3 and Wii. They all have their pros and cons and have different strengths where they excel in which is the reason why I now own a 360 and Wii and will be buying a PS3 at launch. The next game i'll most likely buy for the Wii will probably be Wario Ware Smooth Moves if it's released in January. I'm out, Cheers.
