Re: Wii is Best selling console!

just go to game, or gamestation, they normally have them, if not they can get them quick, so pre order

gamestation:
http://www.gamestation.co.uk/cat.asp?cat=wii&t=hardware
game:
http://www.game.co.uk/Wii/Hardware/HardwareBundle/
currys:
http://www.currys.co.uk/martprd/stor...2&tm=undefined

But if your wanting one, and they now available, just ring your local shops e.g. above ones, and get your name on a register, you will have one within a week

Re: Wii is Best selling console!

I've tried your advice Ik, to no avail - they aren't taking names atm because they aren't sure when they are getting stock in

hey SB,

what is it you want? the console? a package?

if its a package, what games do you want?

the simply game is seeming a lot of money for really only one more game, and a skin for the controller, I would not buy there

ik
p.s. how I got mine, was walking into game and asking if they had any, they said no, went in next day, same guy, he said he will put me on a list, or say your friend was put on a list in the same shop..... they take your name and then call you, but be warned, they would want you in very early to collect it, or they will sell it on, I had to be in before midday the day they phoned.

here is the list email for gamestation: wii@gamestation.co.uk

good luck SB, I think they are just slowing down the sales to keep demand high.
but I would take a day and trawl all the shops that could sell, like comet, curries, game, gamestation, woolworths, john lewis, argos, local game shops (smaller types) etc.

I also think your better betting the bundle from gamestation as they do have a bettter deal, but getting one could prve difficult.

my friend got one through gamestation, she kept on looking up the site, and just bought when the system let her get all to the checkout.

Re: Wii is Best selling console!

Keep checking these:

http://www.wiipreorder.co.uk/

http://www.wii-consoles.co.uk/default.asp#wii_consoles


I used them when I was Wii-hunting earlier in the year, when everyone had no stock.

Got one at Amazon very quickly.

Re: Wii is Best selling console!

According to XBitLabs, developers are producing more titles for the Wii in Q4 than for the 360 and PS3 combined.

Quote:
Thanks to unique game controller, low price and massive installed base, Nintendo Wii will see more new game titles released in Q4 than Microsoft Xbox 360 and Sony PlayStation 3 combined. The situation reflects massive sales of Wii across the world and means that game developers have changed their development priorities.

Analyst firm Screen Digest predicts that 86 titles are scheduled for release on the Wii in Q4 2007, compared with 47 for Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and just 38 for Sony PlayStation 3. Moreover, about 20 games for Nintendo Wii will be exclusive for the platform, whereas only 8 and 5 will be exclusive for Microsoft Xbox 360 and Sony PlayStation 3, respectively.
Glad to see that 3rd party developers are considering the Wii, cause that was a big problem with the Gamecube... it was a great console, but all the developers concentrated on the PS2 and Xbox instead, leaving only Nintendo to come up with games.

Re: Wii is Best selling console!

So far I have resisted the Wii on the basis that I found it a bit too gimicky everytime i have played it at my friends. It appealed more to my 3 year old than me, but having seen some of the games due for release , especially rockstar table tennis, im tempted to get one. I also think that my 3 year old could get some benefit from it, especially in hand eye coordination stuff.
