    I really want Twilight Princess, so I'm going to have to get a Wii soon. Playing it in 4:3 on the GameCube just won't cut it. Maybe I'll get money for Christmas and buy one. Otherwise I'll just have to wait, because there's no way I'm spending that big a chunk of my education money. So, to answer the question, I probably won't be getting one at launch.

    You could sell a bunch of DVDs, video games, and video game accessories for game credit at GameStop. That's what I did and now I have a $152.52 in game credit so now I only need a hundred and forty-five dollars.
    I'm a collector so I keep all of my games. If I was going to sell them, though, I'd sell them myself and not trade them in for fifty cents in store credit at Game Stop.

    No, too many 360 games I want. And then theres the PS3, which I will buy late next year when the price drop occurs. Then, maybe when the Wii library is more appealing to me, I may consider buying one.

    I'm not getting one at launch. Too many this-gen games I still need to buy and play. Hell, I'll probably still be playing Final Fantasy XII when it does launch.

    I'll have to see what kind of games the Wii and Ps3 both get. That's the ultimate factor for me.

    Not a chance.

    I never buy consoles at launch, for obvious reasons.

    Sorry, obvious reasons aren't so obvious to me, unless all of your previous consoles were Playstations.

    My primary reason for getting Wii ASAP is to play Zelda. That's really the strongest thing in the line-up for me. There are a few other games that look interesting at launch that I can do without, because there are several games coming out for other systems that can hold me over till Mario or Smash Bros or whatever. PS2 still has a heck of a lot of quality games coming out, 360 has a few (but if I had only a 360 it wouldn't be enough), and DS is just pumping out hits right now. I might even pick up Lumines 2.
    Zelda will probably jump right to the top of my 'Play Now' list when it finially reaches my country, but after that it'll be back to my more aged systems.

    You know, the usual. No money, can't be arsed, etc.

    *Note: I dislike Playstations in general and have only ever owned them for the sole purpose of playing Final Fantasy games.

    I plan on picking it up on launch. I got my N64 and GCN at launch, so I might as well keep up the trend. That and I want to play Zelda.

    I went to Gamestop earlier today and I couldn't preorder my Wii because they had a limited supply of only 14 Wiis and everyone but myself had preordered one already...A large group of people were standing outside Gamestop at midnight and it was on the news. My dad who had heard this from my younger brother told me after I left Gamestop.

    My grandmother offered to go preorder mine while I was at work. I really hope that I don't have to camp out at Best Buy for this. I'll be quite disappointed if the preorders were full as soon as they opened.

    Edit: Got my preorder. There's apparently a midnight launch for Zelda, so I'd just naturally assume you can buy the Wii at that point as well. And it's on a Sunday too. <3 Nintendo.

    Yes, If I have the money, I will. However, initially, I will be getting it primarily fir the Virtual Console and GC backwards compatibility, as my brother broke my GC..

    So far, only Zelda seems to interest me out of the Wii games..

    no, reasons being:
    1) i don't have any money
    2) i don't really have any time to play video games
    3) so far all i want is twilight princess and I can play that on GCN at home during christmas break
    4) it's called the peepee.

    According to Game Store here in the UK, even if you preorder a Wii, they are unable to guarantee one for launch day.

    I don't know whether this is just a standard thing that they always have to say, or whether they're genuinely concerned about not having enough consoles on the launch day.

    I think I'll hang on 'till March before shelling out.
