If you’re not down with swooping up a Nintendo Wii over the web here, you can now head into the new flagship store Nintendo World NYC and preorder today!  The preorder, just like F.Y.E. will require you to put $50 down (which we’re assuming goes towards the purchase price of $249).  It looks like they’ve only got 100-300 units available for preorder, so if you want one, head into the store ASAP (NOTE: Preorders cannot be made over the phone).  If you don’t live in NYC, have no fear because Nintendo isn’t expecting any shortages (like Microsoft with the Xbox 360), so heading into your local Best Buy, Wal-Mart or Target should do the trick.

The Wii is set to release on November 19th in the U.S. and December 8 in Europe.
