What I found most surprising (and a bit disappointing) was the launch date. Two days after the PS3? I thought I would be playing with the Wii in October :(
Wow... I didn't even know the launch date for the PS3... Shows my enthusiasm for it. (And I had preordered a PS2 on launch too.) :P
Anyway, yeah... I wouldn't have minded getting a Wii sooner myself. (The the PS3 launching everywhere on the same date? If so, then the Wii will get released a while after the PS3 in Japan. Granted, with the small amount of PS3's that will be available, it might make as much of a dent on Wii sales. :P)
Edit: Nintendo.ca posted a message saying that the Canadian price for the Wii is 279.95$(CDN). (It's the same package as the US). Not too bad, I was expecting it to be 299.99$. :P Hopefully, that means that the software and accessories will be a bit lower then I was expecting (i.e. 54.99$ for games).
