Australian Wii Advertising
Posted Aug 6, 2006 at 1:26PM EST by QJ Staff

 Listed in: Wii Tags: Australia, EB Games
Ó
A week ago, an EB shop in Australia has started posting ads for the Wii, an indication that worldwide Wii promotion is coming to a full swing even without an official release date.

This week, Daniel Vuckovic of Vooks.com has snapped a couple more pictures from EB again. As you can see, the new Wii ad is shown in its full glory right above the PS3 banner (not that it means anything). There's the playing=believing mantra as well as the awkward poses of guys and gals who are so into the Wii action. Of course, there's the invitation to pre-order.

Over at Gametraders, the store made use of a Wii ad to promote its service as well: "Wii guarantee to deliver your Nintendo Wii the day it is released." Actually, it's just your cue to pre-order.

# gametraders wii guarentee info — Guest 2006-08-06 17:54
AzaMcWazza, its a PRAWN not a shrimp. :)



I put down a deposit down for the "wii guarentee" at gametraders on saturday. can't wait.



The guy at the store said the following

- currently flagged at $399 but will adjust when offical pricing is released.

- offical pricing and release titles are expected in about a months time.

- Once the offical listing and pricing has been released he will be doing the ring around and organised the pre'orderes what equipment and titles they want to order.

Anyone know what it says on the right of that EB poster. (Save $300?) Im assuming with a trade-in of some sort, EB always try to push that.



Anyhow, I ordered mine at toys'r'us a few weeks ago, can't wait!

phrax, highly doubt it was me. I live in Perth but I had the biggest trip out over that game traders picture as it looks very much the same position and store that I orderd mine at in Carousel Shopping Center.



The EB stores I've seen so far actually have some alternate posters to the ones shown. Great to see that Australia isn't left behind with its release.



Fellow aussies, we shall have our wii's soon :D

# schrambo is correct — Guest 2006-08-07 16:36
The photos where taken by me at the Carousel Shopping Center in perth, the EB one was also at the same center.



Also the deal says get $300 off when you trade in a Ps2/Xbox and $25 games.



ITs a rip

# Nice catch. — Guest 2006-08-08 12:06
Probably not, but seeing as we didn't have a firm release date, the company figured they'd rather not print more fliers just incase :)
