Nintendo Wii
Nintendo's Wii videogames console goes on sale at midnight tonight to UK gamers with all pre-orders snapped up.
Gamers started queuing outside HMV on Oxford Street in London on Tuesday and Nintendo expects the console to sell out on day one.
More than four million Wiis will be shipped globally this year but there are no specific figures for the UK.
The release comes as Nintendo advises gamers to be more careful when using its new motion-sensitive controller.
The firm has sent an e-mail to customers with further advice on how to use the console's controller.
"Hold the remote securely and avoid excessive motion during game play. If your hands become moist, stop and dry your hands," the company recommended.
Nintendo is taking a different approach to rivals Sony and Microsoft - focusing on casual games and fun, family titles.

"Hold the remote securely and avoid excessive motion during game play. If your hands become moist, stop and dry your hands,";
Someone has to drag the tone of the conversation down and do the "Wii on your hands" joke... so it might as well be me ;^) .
Incidentally, did you know that Bush Babies not only mark their terrority with urine, they "also urine wash, moistening their hands and feet with urine. This not only leaves their scent as they move, but also helps improve suction and grip."
One thing's for sure - if I find out that any of my acquaintances have a Wii, I won't be pestering them to borrow the handset.
