Getting dirty with the Wii...
#1
Today at work, I sensed a divine presence. And verily, my instincts were proved true: the Wii had arrived in our storeroom ready for selling two days ahead of today (on the 7th)!

Naturally I got a bit excited - I had waited for this day - so I started snapping low quality photos with my low-quality phone camera.

Here's a few. I would have loved to take more, but it IS work and apparently, I wasn't actually working as such at that time, according to my boss. Wonder how he reached that synopsis.

Ooh, what's this?

The storeroom guy, who was too ashamed to be seen as a Wii-charged nerd on the internet. I find his lack of faith disturbing.

A pic of the Wii Play bundle sitting on top of the delivery box it came in - note the date. Two days before official NZ release. w00t!

And finally, a better pic of Wii Play, complete with myself holding it up for you all to see. Yes, I'm that handsome.. actually, I felt I had to hide my identity from the inevitable hoard of muggers/murderers/n00bs out there who would undoubtedly either steal my mod assets, chase me for an autograph, or just kill me for dangling a Wiimote in their face when they can't afford one or even buy one yet for that matter.


We only received 9 Wii consoles, and 9 Wii Play bundles, but we will be getting the games and more accessories for the launch. We never did have an official kiosk to display it - indeed, there's only ONE in the whole of New Zealand they say - but I'm insisting that we set up a demo one anyway. So I can customers can play it all day.

Now then, after having played and being addicted to Wii Sports Tennis at an expo on the 11th of November, I have to say I'm really getting tense waiting for the release. I'll have my own Wii on my hands in roughly 25 hours from now... so if I seem to have vanished from these forums for a few days, you'll know what's going on Big Grin

Peace out, and Viva la Revolution Cool
