Wiiiiiii!!
Unfortunely I couldn't take any pics of my adventure, but wii're here!
5:30: Woke up.
5:45: Arrived at Linnanmaa Prisma, the market. Nobody is waiting here, I'm the first one.
6:15: The first early bird comes to wait in the line behind me.
6:35: More people show up, around 6 dudes in their twenties.
6:50: The store doors open, but the guard locks them again for 10 minutes.
7:05: The store opens officially. I rush inside with 8 people behind me.
I look around. "Where's the Wii!?" No sight of Wii on the shelves.
The store manager shows up. It appears only 5 Wiis have been stocked for the launch day and 3 are already preordered.
I follow the clerk. But that's not the right Wii! It's the preordered one!
Then I see somebody holding a Wii, already rushing for checkout. I promptly tell him I've waited here like for a one and half an hour to get a Wii.
He nods and hands over the Wii. I lay the cash on the counter.
WII GET!
That's my Wii story.

As you might guess, the store didn't prepare at all for the launch. Inside the store there wasn't any signs of Wii being sold.
By the way, I didn't buy any Wii games when I got the Wii because I didn't have bring enough money for an additional game, I was 32 euros short of getting one.
They're sold out almost everywhere, luckily I was able to order Zelda from an online store. I shall find it in my mailbox on Tuesday.
I haven't tried online yet because I don't have Wi-Fi and don't plan getting one, instead I'm importing the Wii LAN adapter from Japan. There's no point waiting 3 months for official release in Europe when the only difference is the manual.
The black/grey stand beneath the Wii is a laptop cooler and the grey box on Wii is the VGA box. The composite image quality isn't good... Hopefully soon I will get the component cables along with GameCube accessories so I can really start playing.

My room mate has Red Steel & Zelda, Red Steel is really hard to get used to but a fun game, didnt try Zelda because I didnt want to spoil it when I get it. Wii sports is a right laugh though with friends.
