Waiting for a Wii, anyone?

So, its already been said that Nintendo broke an E3 record for the longest line for an exhibit since 1995. Question is, exactly how long was the line(s)?

See for yourself. :P

I'm hoping the line for the Wii isn't like that at release time. xD I think I'll just pre-order.

Some interesting things lately concerning the Wii:

- It is now Bluetooth enabled.
- The Opera Web browser will be included in the console. (WebTV)
- What happened to DVD playback?
- Wii to support media players. (i.e, iPods)
- The speaker on the Wiimote also contains a microphone
- Connect 24 Announced- The Wii will be connected to the Internet 24/7 and will waste very little energy (eample given was a light bulb). The feature will be very useful, expecially on the new Animal Crossing in which your friends can visit your land even when you're offline. (Announced at E3)
- Virtual Console prices: $3 for NES games, $5 for SNES, and $10 for N64 games. (Prices may change.)

That queue is taking the you know what. It best not be that busy. :(

Anyway, it doesn't play DVD's did you say?

About 5-6 months ago, DVD playback was confirmed, but no news has been posted recently. So its not officailly confirmed or debunked and there's still hope. xD

DVD players are really cheap now though, lol. They're like what- $30? lol

Lol yeah, but I was hoping the Wii could play them so I didn't have to mess about with cluttering up my TV desk.

Same here, lol. But who knows? Nintendo loves to surprise us. :P

Yep. :P I am definately getting one anyway. I like the shape and the Nintendo gaming ideas.

The DVD thingy was meant to be an add on? So yeah, Nintendo may release that later on.

Yeah, lol. What I was referring to though was the fact that Nintendo hasn't even mentioned it. Seems kind of strange. ;o

Yeah, making promises they can't keep..

you cant say that :P

Just did :)
Hopefully something will be said.

Blimey! whats that, 4 hours of queing up i'd guess? insane. Yeh, I think a pre-order or reserve will be in place for me :)

That's one big queue, a cool title for this thread could have been
