I thought game release dates were never hard set unless the game was largly anticipated (like Mario Galaxy?)
Lego Star Wars is on my Christmas list, but I will be getting Mario Galaxy next week... I think I'll swing into TRU tonight and reserve it.
I'm also looking forward to Geometry Wars: Galaxies, Soul Caliber Legends, and Rayman Raving Rabbids 2. (All on my Xmas list)

If it has mario in it, its safe to assume its largely anticipated? I don't know.

I've got The Godfather through Gamefly and it's not bad so far. I mean, it's a GTA rip-off using a license (big surprise coming from EA, huh?) but it's not as bad as I thought it would be, primarily due to the interactive controls. Roughing people up and then grabbing them and throwing them against walls with the Wii remote, that's why I love this system!

I just recall trying to get games on the "release" date and when I get to the store they wouldn't have any and they would tell me that sometimes it could take as much as a week from the official "release" date. These days games are more mainstream and I'm sure the retailers get a lot of flack if they don't have the game on "release" day.

How to interpret a video game "release date" (for most releases):
* Game will be available in the late afternoon at Gamestop/EBGames.
* Some online retailers (such as Amazon) will ship it out that day.
* The next afternoon, it'll show up at Best Buy & Circuit City and ship from most other online retailers.
* The day after that is when it'll show up at Walmart, Target and such.

That seems 100% accurate.
I got Lego SW yesterday afternoon at Gamestop.
I got Mario/Sonic at Olympics today at Best Buy. (The guy literally grabbed it off of the truck).

Well I went to Best Buy to price out HDTV's and left with a Wii. I still have no idea why I got one, I do enjoy playing whenever I get a chance but I don't know if I want one for my own. Too late.
So what should I get in the Wii Store? Whats good?

Picked up Fire Emblem tonight and was ready to play, but there is a bug in the US version that causes it to crash when importing your save data from Path of Radiance. I researched it on Gamefaq and it apparently crashes when you load up save data that was on easy or hard mode. I had save files for all three, but did not want to delete the easy or hard mode saves.
I figure the easy solution is to copy the save and delete everything buy the clear data for normal. No dice though. The GameCube save does not allow copying (god I fucking hate when they don't allow you to copy your saves).
So basically I can start the game without the experience bonuses or wait for a fix which knowing Nintendo will never happen.
Figures one of my most eagerly anticipated games would be a complete buzz kill.

Apparently some new Wii channel is going to be released on Nov. 11 in the U.S. It'll allow people to view and trade Miis, have contests (Abe Lincoln, etc.), and other things.
Not amazing, but it's still nice that Nintendo keeps trying to do Wii channel things.
