Toys'R'Us
Preorder cost: $50
Preorder bonuses:
Up until and including launch day, preorder a Wii console and get a free game with it. This has been the source of much controversy that still isn't sorted out. Is the free game Wii Sports (which is already bundled with the console)? Is it a specific single game that has yet to be announced? Is it a range of games from Nintendo only? Is it any game in the store? We don't know, and Toys'R'Us are apparently still in talks with Nintendo Australia to determine the details of it all.
EB Games
Preorder cost: $ Unknown - can be up to full price
Preorder bonuses:
Save $300 on the price of the Wii when you trade-in your old Xbox or PS2 and 25 games. That makes the price of the Wii $99 at EB after you trade your old system.
Gametraders
Preorder cost: $ Unknown
Preorder bonuses:
Since Gametraders is a franchise, it's up to each storeholder to decide their Wii preorder details. My local store (Burwood NSW) has no set preorder details or bonuses as of yet.
David Jones
Preorder cost: $ Unknown
Preorder bonuses:
Possibly a set of coupons in the same fashion as Myer. A free game deal may also be in the works, according to the word of store employees (so, not very solid).
Target
Preorder cost: $20
Preorder bonuses:
$600 worth of coupons for Wii products and accessories:
And as of yet, KMart and Big W have no set preorder deals or bonuses. If anyone finds out anything to the contrary, lemme know!

It's not meant to be a graphical powerhouse, and as such, games like Call of Duty 3 look significantly poorer than their Xbox360 and PS3 counterparts.
The games designed exclusively for Wii - Excite Truck and Sonic, for example - take advantage of the console's architecture, and as a result look fantastic
The innovative gameplay is the Wii's selling point - the Wiimote. Sure, gameplay is linked to graphics in some way, dependant on the genre. But would you prefer a game with more polygons and prettier lights, or a game where you aim with an imitation-gun rather than a joystick on a controller?
For the record, I won't be buying CoD3 on the Wii. It doesn't seem like a very interesting game, I have to say. CoD1 was good, CoD2 got a bit boring.. it's all the same stuff! How many more WW2 shooters can there be!!?!
