First impressions are very positive. It looks good, ports for things like Gamecube controllers and memory cards are all inside little doors to keep it nice. The slot loading cd player has a very nice action. It's ready to connect wirelessly to the internet straight out of the box (which is mouch more than the 360 does!) and there is already a good variety of old games to be downloaded into the Virtual Console. I haven't tried these yet but they include the original Megadrive Sonic, Golden Axe, Altered Beast, Donkey Kong Country and Super Mario 64! All seem to cost around a fiver which isn't too bad!
I played Wii Sports for a bit - it seems fun enough but I think it would be better with a few more players - but most of my day has been on the new Zelda game. It starts fairly slowly and it's taken me this long to get to the first dungeon, but it seems to do everything I'd want it to. It's a bit strange using the new controller(s) but they are actually quite comfortable once you get the hang.
The thing that really made me smile was not so much the motion sensing in the controller, but the way that you can use it to point at things on the screen and it actually works! I think it must use magic.
So now I'm going to get back to it for half an hour before heading out to the public house for some Friday drinks. I like days off like this.

Lucky you, I was told by Mr Argos that mine will be delivered today, and it has been confirmed that it has been dispatched. Still weaiting though. Argos have said that because of EU driving restrictions, the driver might not deliver it tongiht :(
I think that there is definitely a large element of luck that determines when (if?) things ever get delivered... I hope you get it soon!
