First! posts are pointless.

Not that I'm getting the game from there mind you.

Umbrellas won't seem strange when you leave the store and it's raining. Wouldn't want all the guys who have dressed up as Peach in a dress to end up looking like overweight, hairy entrants to a lewd wet t-shirt competition.

Horray for Adverts, Flynnie!
*hehehe*
Game is not present anywhere else in the world, is it? Is GAME UK exclusive (I do not want to complain, I am just curious)?

Quite cool. I won't be going to one though, as A) they always hold the Manchester ones too far out for me, and B) I'll probably be getting it Thursday morning anyhow...

Well, if you went on a US site more often you might be able to find out about a Mario Galaxy event in America too ^^;
Ah well, even if I can't go, it makes me feel better about the promotion for this game. If I remember correctly, this is the first Wii game to have a release event like this. It's good news. Hopefully GAME will start to promote the game a bit more now.

LOL i love working for target in the U.S. I can get mine when I go on my first break (overnight shift) and have it legally 15 minutes after launch and get a 10% discount.

, do you live anywhere near the coast?. I am a frequent visitor to St Ives, Seaton and Padstow, I love it, it's beautiful and on par with the Lake District. It may be a crap place to live for a young person but for the Artist the coast is a veritable haven for it's natural beauty a light, which even betters that of the south of France at times. I fully intend to buy a house on the coast some day, or I may just continue to rent in Padstow as I have been doing for the last three years during the summer.
