    ... or, at least, on the Wii kiosk pictured above. Reader wigglesxjr, who is responsible for taking the above picture with his camera phone, assures us this is totally real and comes from his local EB Games in West Covina, CA. Using Samsung LCD TVs for their kiosks, you'd think that Nintendo would go the extra mile and use component cables for all of their displays, right? I mean, you could even have the EB/GameStop folks pushing the cables saying customers won't get as clear and good a picture as on the kiosk at home without them.

  • Another Wii demo kiosk in the wild documented

    While our first report of a kiosk going up did not actually show the station on, a south Florida resident found an erected kiosk, fully hooked up, at his local GameStop store. Also, he was the first one to try the station out. What's interesting is that he had to turn in his keys in order to obtain the Wiimote to play as it was not tethered to the kiosk, leading us to believe that it could be quite easy for someone to run off with a Wiimote. Also, the only available demo on-hand was Excite Truck.Spotted a kiosk at your local GameStop or EB Games? Take a picture and send it in![Thanks friedgreenmushrooms!]
