I was a bit disappointed by the festival, but I only went on Saturday. After waiting over a half hour in the pouring rain, then waiting another 20-30 minutes to do teh coat check, I rush out to the Nintendo section to see a good 1-2 hour lineup for the Wii... Since it comes out next week I went walking around and noticed that the Ubisoft booth had Rayman for the Wii with a small lineup.. but one of the controllers broked down (or something happened to it) and I decided to just leave the line. Rockstar was throwing stuff out to its fans, (Bully t-shirts and dodgeballs, as well as inflatable Vice City beach balls and Rockstar wristpads) but forget trying to talk to them afterwards, they were quite rude. Every game had a lineup, so I only stayed for about 2 hours and then waited another 30 minutes to retrieve my coat. It was an ok festival, but I'm not sure I would go again next year.
I predict 229$ US, launching late October, or early November. Comes with 1 controller, and maybe (hopefully), Wii Sports and a couple of Virtual Console games (most likely have at least Super Mario Bros).
If it arrives before my week off in October, I'll be very very happy!
I live in Canada (I know this is US only, but you mentioned that you would not want to ship overseas, and since there are no seas between the US and Canada, I figured I would comment anyways.)

I need this to shave my hairy face. I tend to get hairy fast, but not bushy hairy, spotty hairy, and it doesn't look too good. My fiancé says I look like a bum, and I live in Canada, so as you all know, bums over here are hunted down.* Everyday when I have a hairy face I am forced to hide in the shadows as I try to get to work. It is a crazy ride just to get anywhere since Canadians are all trying to make a buck hunting us down. With this gadget, I could walk outside in confidence without getting hunted down by a profiteer. Please Joystiq, think of this spotted bearded guy on top of the border and have pity. I am a hair away from being trimmed away from civilization! Thank you.
* We don`t really hunt bums, but I do really need a shave!
