The Metroid Prime itself. I pick the game up every 6 months or so just to try again. After two to three days of consistant failures, put it back on the shelf.
My local EB manager today was being grateful his isn't an inner city store. There's really a potential for people to become violent as this thing is released. Given the 360 stories I was hearing this morning (while waiting to preorder my Wii), I think these guys have some very legit concerns...
By the time this article had been posted, my local EB (Sudbury, MA) had been out of pre-orders for an hour. Of course, that's why I was there @ 5:50AM, first in line, today I am the Alpha-Geek. (We got in some good multi-player DSing as well.)
Find a sympathetic professor, and have them distribute class materials via torrents. Ok, so they're probably not distributing anything large enough to warrant torrenting, and residential networks often have their own rules anyway, but IT may not brush off tenured professors as quickly as students (then again they might).
Having used teletext systems on Mainland Europe I have to say one of the main attractions of the systems is that it is one-way downstream only, meaning you can get all this information from your rooftop antena (which we did). You tell your TV which page you want, and it waits for that one to be sent. This can result in high latency, but it's often easier to check on flight times by requsting page '236', or weather on '114' without geting up from the couch.

I hope too see the Action Replay for Wii soon, sounds like I'll need it for the end of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. :-/
