Nintendo Wii Hits UK by James B at 18:49

Us Brits finally have something to smile about as the Wii officially launched last night. EuroGamer are reporting that 50,000 Wiis were sold in 12 hours, and judging from the queues all around the country (even outside the Tesco in little old Woking I'm told by my friend) if you haven't pre-ordered or got in line it's going to be tough going getting one before Christmas.

As for myself? My Wii arrived this morning and so far I'm having a blast, particularly with Zelda. Expect some articles this weekend when I've played a bit more

	HMV screwed my pre-order up so I tried HMV, Dixons, Currys, PCworld, Tesco's, Asda, Virgin Megastores, Woolworths, WHSmiths, Game, Gamestation, Debenhams, John Lewis's, and many more across 3 cities that I can't remember. There should be more coming in the next couple of weeks hopefully though so... I have Zelda and an extra controller sat infront of me looking all lonely I know the Tesco's near where Bri lives had 48 in stock as they didn't take pre-orders though. Goodluck in getting one !
