Europe getting a black Wii bundle, I cry myself to sleep photo

Well it's about time. Everything on my TV stand from my HD DVD player, which is now used as a regular DVD player, to my cable box is black. Except for my Wii. Why oh why did you have to throw off my color balance, Nintendo? I know nothing of feng shui, but this cannot be good.

As reported by Engadget, a limited edition black Wii bundle -- complete with Wii remote, MotionPlus, a Nunchuk, Wii Sports, and Wii Sports Resort -- is on the way. The UK and Ireland will have the chance to get this all-black bundle starting on November 6, while mainland Europe can do the same on November 20.

Additionally, Europe will be getting black versions of the Classic Controller Pro, Wii remote, Nunchuck, and MotionPlus beginning Nov. 20 to go along with the bundles. For once, you guys aren't getting screwed over. Congrats! Now we know how it feels.

You guys remember back before the 7th-gen launch, when we were still calling it the "Revolution" and it was the only black console? Good times, good times. In any case, I'm still waiting on an HD-compatible Wii. seriously, Nintendo, it cannot be that hard. Of course, I'm talking out of my ass, so maybe it is actually that hard, but it doesn't change the fact that I want it.

It's ok. My Wii threw off my color scheme too.

Is there a difference between Europe/Japan/US Wiis?? Like what happens with 360?

I can't even imagine how bad it would look with the same amount of dust my white Wii collected.

This is the most I have ever wanted a Wii.

I mean, I wouldn't play on it much, but that is looking good.

Now I HATE Nintendo. Seriously, WHAT THE F%$@ is with you Nintendo?

And yes, what ShellSh0cker said: "You guys remember back before the 7th-gen launch, when we were still calling it the "Revolution" and it was the only black console? Good times, good times."

So they make a little more money for their pockets, at the cost of giving hundreds of millions of people something they don't want...Yes, I'm being realistic: HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE...Seriously Nintendo, enough with this sleazy business stuff and be what you once were: DECENT. So you're a big corporation? It doesn't mean it's okay to go and screw over people, especially at times like this. YOU HAVE ENOUGH MONEY.

I think I may invest in the classic controller pro.

Oh, I remember, ShellSh0cker. I kept telling myself to wait another month to see if they'd start selling black Wiis, but it never happened.

Dammit if I had just waited I coulda gotten an Elite and this and wouldn't have to pay out the ass to get a white PS3 Slim. However the white consoles compliment my room beautifully. Like a fucking Target ad mate. Glossy white room of contemporary douchey sexiness.

@Jordan: Feng Shui philosophy is about the balancing of elements to lead to a balance life. Your tendency toward black .... so yeah. :D

Fetusmilk, you are right the Wii is around the same size but the Wiimote is bigger you see the condom (or wii-jacket whatever)is more streched out.
