EA release schedule
It looks as though the Wii will be in the hands of European gamers no later than Friday November 3rd, as an oversight in Electronic Arts' release schedule planning pegs a Wii game with the above street-date.

The game is Need for Speed: Carbon and although no other details were offered, this news should come as a welcome insight to those eagerly awaiting the new Nintendo home console's release across the EU.

However, EA is not alone in letting its plans slip. THQ also showed its cards a little early, pegging SpongeBob: Kreature from the Krusty Krab for the Wii in October. Of course, games often hit the streets before their host hardware comes available. Either way, the Wii now looks closer than ever.

We'll let you know as we get more.

well, the longest you'll ever have to REALLY wait, is the five minute walk from the gamestore to your house, taking it out of the box, setting it up, ignoring the manual, cursing at the Nintendo's health warning untill finally...

Ahhhhhhh

Bliss.

The sooner the better, but that's trerribly close to the PS3 release date. Are we at last gonna see a big arse scrap at the counter over sale figures.

It'll be interested in seeing if Sony do well or not.

Place your bets people.

christmas should be interesting, in my entire school life i only ever met one dude who would get a ps3-sized amount of money spent on them for christmas, so wii may be the choice for parents buying a console as a suprise.

i am not holding my breath for november. in fact i try not to think about the release date at all, the anticipation is too much.

The wii will be out mid October me thinks. They normally announce the details a month before hand and they'll be doing that on Friday!!!!
