I've got a Nintendo Wii at last!

From pre-ordering a Wii as soon as I could, I've finally got one today.

I pre-ordered the Nintendo Wii on 15 September from Play.com (the day it became pre-orderable), and was told that I wouldn't be getting one before Christmas. Fortunately they must have gotten more delivered than then expected, because I arrived home from work yesterday to a Parcelforce 'you were out' note and I collected my Wii this morning :o)

I had already been sent Zelda on the day of release, which added to my anticipation, but thankfully they got me one in time for Christmas, now all I need is another Wiimote.

I'll be buying some better wrist straps as soon as I can, because I don't like the look of anything that's been shown on WiiDamage.com

Finally got my Wii too. I was in Crawley town centre, walked into Game and asked, 'Have you got any Nintendo Wii's in stock?', I walked out with a brand new Wii console. No queue. No pre-order. :)

Portrait of the author

On weekdays I'm a Solution Architect at Nokia Siemens Networks, creating creative software solutions for mobile operators around the world.

In my spare time I'm an avid new technology fan, and constantly strive to find innovative uses for the new gadgets I manage to get my hands on. Most recently I've been investigating Mobile Codes, RFID and Home automation (mainly Z-Wave). With a keen eye for usability I'm attempting to create some cost-effective, DIY technology solutions which would rival even high-end retail products. The software I develop is usually released as Open Source.

I have a Finnish geek partner, so have begun the difficult task of learning Finnish.
