There are not seven located together. I am pretty sure in prior research there is only two that are together. I am led to believe the internet could run on three- with a substantial slowdown. There are multiple off-site backups for each nameserver as well.
In Canada (Saint John, NB) I have had my Wii preordered since June 5th, at the local Toys 'R Us. I am 9th on the list to receive the console. For 389.99 [CAD], I get two games (of my choice), plus Wii Sports, and an extra controller.
They estimate they are getting 60ish consoles on launch day.
I'm not joking, my preorder slip says Nintendo Revolution on it!
