Looks cool. My brother messed up my Wii a little so I'm going to try to sell it to him and get a black Wii when they come out in the USA.

Hmm...I figured it would be bigger. Guess not all stereotypes are true.

Main difference between a black Wii and a white Wii. About 4lbs.

And you can just stop it right there. Don't even say a word.

Wow, that looks awesome! I'm already jealous of the new owners that get to pick up this black box. I only have 2 wiimotes, so I'll definitely get a black one when they are available.

I wish they had released a black system at launch. Black is a vastly preferrable color for home theater components. Oh well, I'll stick with my lame white one.

Back before the Wii's initial launch, weren't there several colors that it was expected to be available in? Colors such as green and purple?

Yeah. I'm pretty sure they had blue, silver, black, red... all those colors. And back when it was called the Revolution, I think it was mostly advertised in black. Might've just been in Nintendo Power, idk.

1) Grab you white wii. 2) Buy black spraypaint. 3) Sell on eBay.
4)????? 5) Profit.

As a new Wii owner , yes I finally got one just about a week ago, I have been noticing how it stands out among my otherwise all black cased items in our "entertainment" system area. Even my old Xbox, which I'm now thinking it is time to retire, is black and blends in nicely. Ah well.....I waited long enough to get a Wii and would not have waited any longer just to get it in a black case. What will annoy me is if they stupidly decide to sell off the white cased ones at a discount OR discontinue the white accessories.

I like it. And I, sorta, have a reason to possibly get it. I'll keep my current 3.2 Wii and get this.

Doesn't make a lot of sense, but

Please...the Wii is garbage. And people like you defending it makes it even more entertaining.

Yeah, the Wii really isn't worth defending.
There are seriously about 12 games worth buying (Zelda, Mario Galaxy, Super Paper Mario, Brawl, Metroid, Animal Crossing, Mario Kart and MAYBE a couple third-part games).
Other than that, we've got a bunch of bad racing games (Hot Wheels, Excite Truck), movie games (Kung Fu Panda), Lego Games (Batman, Indy, Star Wars [we got 3 of those]) and an endless supply of mini-game compilations (Carnival Games and its sequels, some game my little cousin owns, Raving Rabbids and its sequels, though the first one was probably the only good one).
Some can argue the Conduit, but I'm not even going to bother with that.
As for the WiiWare service, none of it is worthwhile, sans World of Goo. A very good majority of the VC games aren't good either, and the ones worth buying are probably ones people already owned on other systems. Heck, at least four of the ones I own I owned on the N64.
I used to support the Wii, but Nintendo's really been letting me down lately. The Wii has become nothing more than a gimmicky toy. It might have been respected back in 2006, but it's really nothing to be feared now. Sure, it's sales are incredible, but that's because everybody and their grandmas own 3.

I can only fantasize that this black Wii would be HD, with hdmi output and such. Time to wake up!

I don't want to see games in HD.
I got a component cable for my Wii, 480p output, and everything is TOO defined. Pixel differences become much more apparent, and everything looks all jagged and uneven.

Would be so much easier if HDMI was an option! I would defo buy a black Wii as it is better for colour comparison! Any news on UK availability?

I'd be tempted to get this, and sell my old one, if there was actually some way to transfer all my goddamn saves (the "protected" ones) and downloaded content. We didn't have any of this bullshit back when we were still using memory cards. This, and digital distribution, is all a big scheme by the platform holders to kill any consumer freedom. >:(

Man, I remember back in 2006 when I learned Nintendo was only making a white Wii at launch, I said I was gonna wait until a black Wii came out so it would match my DS Lite.
It's nice seeing how long I would have waited. Kind of makes me wish I did since I didn't miss out on much...

that is nice! if i didn't already have a white one, i'd buy it. i'll probably just get a black wii remote.

and does anyone agree that if the light was red, i'd look way cooler? i think it would.
