With only days to go till the launch of Nintendo's groundbreaking new home console, Wii, Australian retail feedback suggests that Wii is heading towards being the biggest launch of any new video games system in our history.

Retailers around the country are preparing for midnight launches, to help make Wii units widely available to consumers as soon as possible.

To guarantee your purchase of a Wii unit it is recomended that you pre-order at your favourite retailer before launch, as it is expected stock will sell out fast, with pre-orders already running out.

Got to take one home for a couple of days this week.
Although it's a bloody good console, I don't think it quite lives up to the hype.
