What do you think?

Register any domains?

I prefered the name Revolution, but this is an ok name. I probably won't be registering any domains, most of the best ones have been taken anyway. Must suck if you registered a ton of revolution domains.

Must suck if you registered a ton of revolution domains.

Yes it must. I may register a few, but doubt it.

 

[Domain Jedi]

I personally picked up the following:

NintendoWiiForum.com
NintendoWiiForums.com
NintendoWiiTalk.com
NintendoWiiChat.com

NintendoWiiDownloads.com
NintendoWiiShop.com
NintendoWiiConsole.com

intel has viiv, nintendo has wii, what's next? should we reg some "ii" domains?

 

[corleonem]

I was lucky enough to pick up these before the "news" broke worldwide:

wiitrader.com
wiitrade.com
superwii.com
wiiunderground.com
wiiextreme.com

 

[demo]

I managed to snag these:

ouiwii.com
bewii.com
makewii.com

hopefully I can sell em and get more games for my xbox360!

I decided to go ahead and register 10 of these for the hell of it since the system should be around for the next 5 years.

wiicheatcode.com
wiigames.net
cheatsforwii.com
wiiforum.net
wiiforums.net
wii-cheats.com

The last three are typo's/misspelling for WiiCheats . If I had only known about this 30mins sooner...

the .coms went too quick for me - I picked up

WIICHEAT.EU
WIICONSOLE.EU
WIIGAME.EU
WIISTORE.EU
BUYWII.EU
WIIWII.EU

along with
WIINEWS.INFO
WIISTORE.NET

 

[diederik]

I registered wiigaming.org, wiigamers.org and wiiwireless.com

Interesting to see how fast these names get registered. Nintendo itself was in there regging names as late as yesterday 4-27.

Thanks to all those who have replied to this thread.

May your wii domains be varwii prosperous!

 

[BidNo]

I checked and there was no registered TM so I bought:

HalfPriceWii.com
DiscountWii.com
SaveOnWii.com
DealsOnWii.com
GuideToWii.com

I also reg'd CheapWii.com but when the dust settled it showed "already registered". Oh well, frankly I was surprised to see these unregistered.


Cheers,
BidNo

What If they nintendo said they were just joking about the name, and changed it to something else; how funny would that be??!

 

[VividChoice]

Wii makes me think of the girl in the movie
"Kung Pow! Enter the Fist"....ound:


Ok... I admit it, I bought a few too...

 

[demo]

Wii... the more I hear that name, the more I like it...
