Hmm.


I've just had a look at the GAME website... still won't even let you place a backorder.

None at Argos or Gamestation either.

Bit crap.

I almost bought one just after Christmas, as my local GAME actually had a few in stock...they would only sell them as part of a bundle though.

just go into game, and ask to have your name put on a waiting list for one, I only waited about 4 days

Get one from Amazon Germany.

http://www.amazon.de/o/ASIN/B0009PRC...837932-3236008

I think shipping is not too bad and takes about a week. Worked out cheaper than UK last time I checked.

I got mine from Amazon.de as well.. really quick delivery all things considered and worked out at £175 (inc delivery).

You will also need to get an adapter for the plug, but that will only cost a couple of quid.

I don't know if it is the same all over the country but Woolworths took stock of some in Northampton the other day.

Re: Nintendo Wii
 
If you don't want to order online from Germany, it will be a case of calling into, or phoning, the usual suspects each morning until you get one. Woolies expect regular arrivals and GAME will get them in too. But I suggest also watching Amazon, Ebuyer, Argos and GAME websites each morning :sleep: .

Try gameplay.co.uk

I think the waiting time is only... say... 2 weeks max?!

Sounds daft - but if you have a large Tesco near you try there. I walked in, went to the electronics counter and said "Suppose I'm asking a silly question - but do you have any Wii in stock?" and snagged the last one in my store a while back.

either phone them, or try another one, try a medium sized one, not a huge town one
or try another game shop, but most will take your name now.

I bought on in Game on Saturday. Phoned around most of the morning and managed to find one of the Glasgow stores got a few on friday and still had one left.

I just got one last thursday for my birthday and it f'in rocks!

It came from Amazon.de (germany) and was under UK RRP including delivery.

I have since bought the component cable for my LCD screen, Wii Play with the second remote and Sonic and the Secret Rings

Re: Nintendo Wii
 
I need to get the component cable as the composite cable that comes with the console looks terrible on my LCD TV.
