Well, whilst I was at school today, my mum went to the mall and preordered the Wii for me (I'm paying for it of course). It was $40 to preorder, and I should be able to just walk in and pick it up on Dec 7th.

It was $40 to preorder - that means I had to put $40 down ;)
That doesn't mean I've bought it. It means they'll keep a Wii for me, and when I put the final $360 AUD down on it, I'll get it (this will be on Dec. 7th).

damn even more expensive than I thought.

I don't think Tokie understands a lot of what goes on around here. Anyway..congrats on getting your pre-order. I hope you got Twil;ight Princess as well.

did u get TP!? i wish i got a preorder... and tokie, ur clueless

stincks though that you got second shipment

To explain things to the... confused. The $40 is to hold the Wii, like Dave said and the $360 is the rest of the payment. Because in Australia the Wii is $400 so it's not like he has to pay that much just because he preordered, the Wii in Austrailia is generally more expensive

And he didn't get 2nd shipment, it releases later in Austrailia

Exactly.
There are never shortages in Australia.
And no one goes to Myer for console launches (especially since EB Games is like a 2-min walk from Myer!)

I'll just walk in on Dec. 7th and pick it up, go home and play.
