The posts display is still broken... the "newest" post displayed according to the main threads list and the thread pages is yesterday...
Anyway, I think that Nintendo messed up. Nov. 19, two days after the PS3, and at $250, $50 too much? What the heck? WiiSports included is irrelevant, I don't want that game and have no interest in playing it... why isn't there a non-bundle option so you can spend your money on a game that's actually good? I mean, the Japanese one (non-bundled only) is just $215... and American consoles are virtually never more expensive than their Japanese counterparts. :(
... as for the good news, some of the new screenshots and stuff look great, and Virtual Console sounds good, as does the seeming report that first-party titles at least will be region-free... though I'm still very interested to see if GC titles will be region-free or not (likely not, and if so will the Freelancer still work?) and whether Virtual Console releases will really be all downloadable in any region...
