The 'I Have My PAL Wii' Thread!

I thought I'd jump the gun a bit as there is bound to be a few people getting their Wii's via company contacts and revew units by now.

If you have your Wii then post up details of where it was bought from, when you placed your pre-order and also what else you got at the same time.

Please keep it to on topic, only post once your unit in hand and don't spam the thread if you havn't yet got yours. If kept clean this thread could be a useful resource for users to track down how well the supply chain is working.

I got mine today. I can't say where I got it from though. Unfortunately, I won't get Zelda until tomorrow. I've downloaded F-Zero and Sonic. There are currently no N64 games on the shopping channel as yet though. (I really wanted Mario 64 too). I'm hoping I will get a component cable soon.

Jammy sod! Did you use UK Wii Points or do US ones work?

Are the VC games 60hz compatible or bordered 50hz only?

I used my Visa for the points. I'm not that jammy as I had a USA one that turned up dead which cost me over £300. PAL was a second choice for me. Sonic had huge borders and ran at 50hz. I switched the console to 60hz, but it made no difference to the speed or borders. F-zero only had slight borders. Again, it only ran in 50hz.

christ on a bike.

If all the VC content for the PAL wii is going to be the original refresh rate for when it originally released, then i'm going to contemplate selling my preordered one from gameplay. And then just going to buy an NTSC one in the new year.

I know it's not the be all and end all, but still grates nontheless.

meh not bothered about VC titles, although i can see it annoying some people only running them in 50hz. It could've done with at least an option, skanky EU TVs!

edit: oops didnt see it was a "my Wii PAL" thread, erm, GAME have phoned me and i'll go and pick it up friday sometime, no rush I got my USA one

haha gamestation mansfield just admitted to me on the blower that all their preorder drop outs have all been snapped up by staff.

personally i think this stinks as i probably would have got one for launch if it wasnt for that fact(i was 7 or 8 past their allocated numbers)

instead people who were never even on the preorder list have been sorted out and mugs like me are left high and dry!
