I pre-ordered my Wii there, too...
why in the world do they get not a single Wii? that's so stupid...why is it more important for Nintendo, to have like 100 Wiis in every Wal-Mart and Best Buy? they should make sure to be able to fulfill all the pre-orders first...
anyway, I'm not cancelling my order, since it would take even longer if I order my Wii at dvdboxoffice now...maybe our Wiis will be shipped in the week after launch...
lucky for me, my little brother is getting a european Wii, so I won't be playing Wii any later than the 8th december

Shortages are better than not even having the option to purchase a unit correct?
Oh sony
I knew it, there will be shortages for Zelda.

*nods in total agreement with the wise man*
EBG in Umeå sucks, they charge like 179 SEK for WoW TCG when it's only 149 at WoBG and Collector's Point 
Anyhow, still haven't resolved this whole Wii problem/trauma. Might preorder @ DVDBO instead, or try have someone send it from the US...

Yea.. swedes are scary :'(help me, so many Swedes
Is everyone living at home? I live by myself in a small apartment and have bearly enough money to pay the rent. Buying a Wii is out of the question, not that I would want to play it on my 14 inch screen..
bad news for those of you who canceled their pre-order at VG+...
today they said the DID get a few Wii units for launch, and they're expecting more Wiis between tuesday and friday...in addition, they told me I'm #55 in line for the Wii...that's pretty nice, because last week I was #126 in line
it was a good decision not to cancel my Wii pre-order there...I'll probably be getting my Wii before December, which is much sooner than I expected

Yeah I'm glad I kept my pre-order as well. Think I'll cancel the one at ImportMadness now that I know I am #69 in line @ VG+ and because they feel more reliable (especially since I know that they are able to write down the value on the package to help me avoid customs duty)
I should ask them to do it with my package, too
last time I did that was when I ordered my PSP at winsunx.com...they wrote on the package that the value was $30US...unfortunately, the customs clearance opened the package and they didn't believe it was $30, so I had to tell them the real value (which was more than $300 :'( ) and had to wait for 3 more days for my PSP to arrive
That sucks Vater :/ I do hope that those of us who are trying to sneak them by will manage to do so...
Hm, funny... Would those of you who have preordered at VG+ and are still waiting for your Wii please check what your current order status is by logging in and clicking on "Order History"?
Because mine currently says "Preorder Processing" and was wondering if it means that A) my order really IS processing and I should therefor expect the Wii to arrive sometime next week, or B) VG+ simply changed the status on EVERYONE'S preorder the day they were told that they would infact be given consoles after all.
Please state your number in line as well. Having no. 67 on the preorder list is what makes me so suspicious to my order status - I'm not counting on getting a Wii from VG+ for another two weeks, seing how they will only be getting a small number of consoles each week.

It's important for society to be healthy and educated. If those things can't happen because all of the institutions that prop up those industries make it unattainable for all but a small portion of society, then your society is largely going to be disease ridden, dying, and uneducated in very short order.

I agree it's not easy for the average American, let alone the ones below that average. Free / cheaper healthcare is much more important I think than free university education.+1
Of course like @mthrnite said, why not both. But I doubt both will get solved at once, and surely healthcare is top priority. -

If it's needed to keep you healthy it shouldn't cost you $90k. The fact that it does is an enormous problem

And if the concern is that "well we can't trust the government to intervene for this because the government can't do anything right and wastes tons of money" then holy shit push for a better government. I'm certainly trying to. Don't throw your hands up and go "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas"

@K3Nv2 that's crazily expensive. how long will that take to pay off?
Although diet is largely education, people don't need to go to university to learn what's healthy and what's not,
it's the whole country, big corporations and advertising that is to blame for leading most of the population to believe that poptarts and froot loops are healthy to feed a child -

i would think the population knows better but with food deserts and abject poverty, sometimes a poptart gonna have to do. -
