    Wii JPN Launch: Last Minute Info

    Tomorrow, 400,000 Wiis hit The Land of the Rising Sun. Gizmodo Japan reports that compared to the PS3, there have been more Wii pre-orders. And thus, more people unable to get pre-orders. So it's a numbers game again, really.

    For our Japan-based readers, here's the retailer run-down:

    Bic Camera: Sales start first come, first served tomorrow morning at 7:00am. As previously mentioned, those with Suica cards can pre-reserve. Otherwise, head to the Ikebukuro headquarters (ahem, Jean Snow!) or Yurakucho. Eds Note: Jean Snow just told me the smaller Bics will be doing drawings for Wiis at 11am. Tickets given out between 9-10am.

    Yodobashi Camera: Sales also first come, first served with stores opening at 7:00am at the Shinjuku, Akihabara and Umeda branches. I'll be at the Umeda branch. Wearing a Paul Smith scarf (Yeah, I know. My excuse: It was a present.)

    Shibuya TSUTAYA: Pre-reserves only. Orders filled in two hours.

    Sofmap (Den-Den Town): Likewise, pre-reserves. They apparently went quick.

    Sakuraya: Tickets will be passed out from 7:30 am tomorrow morning with sales starting at 8:00 am.

    Good luck all!
