wiichat.com — Here's a photocopy of an internal memo sent around UK Virgin megastores. The memo details the use of 'Nintendo Wii Countdown Clocks' that will be installed on 14th August and will obviously ticker down to the official launch date/time of the wii console.

Oh come on people! That image is so f**king fake it hurts me to see you take it even as a rumor. Look at the pixels around the text!

A jpg would show distortions for the entire picture, not just the text. Plus, the text doesn't crumple with the paper or fold with it either.

And what makes you think they are not PROGRAMMABLE clocks?So that when they release the release date in a few weeks(hope), the store clercks will program the clocks to count down from whatever current time it is until the given release dates.
