The Nintendo Wii is going to be released later this year (late 2006). It is important to pre order it now from major stores such as Amazon. If you remember when the Xbox 360 came out, all the major stores ran out of supplies. The only way to get Xboxs then was on sites such as eBay.
This may be an incentive to pre order a nintendo wii - sell them at a profit when they come out!
Another reason you might want to buy a nintendo wii of course is to play it. All of next years best games probably will be released on the Nintendo Wii, not the Playstation or Xbox. The Nintendo wii has been designed so that anyone can pick up a wii controller (wii-mote) and just start playing. It is the ideal christmas 2006 gift for your children, or even buy the wii for your parents!
Navigate through buy wii . org to find out what shops are accepting pre orders for the nintendo wii in UK (england, britain), america (USA, north america - canada), Europe and the rest of the world. The release date for the Nintendo Wii isn't quite yet known but it is believed to be about october/november 2006, just in time for the christmas rush. And my gosh there will be a christmas rush as everyone goes out to purchase a nintendo wii, which is why it is a good idea to pre order your wii console now. Don't wait untill it hits the shelves - you will not get it unless you pre-order the wii. Pre-ordered consoles are almost guaranteed to reach you on the day it is released. If you are lucky, when you pre order something online you might recieve it a day or two before its released (if the postal service is quick!), but to be honest no matter where you pre order your wii from you will probably get it just on or just after the Wii release date.
