Yeah, should be delivered from Play on Friday.
Just don't let go of the controllers on wi-sports or this may be the result.

That would never happen! What a set-up! I don't think much of those speakers, either.

I am quite tempted by the Wii, but even more so of the PS3 in March. I think I'll wait til then.

Bg where? Mine is being delivered from Argos tomorrow allegedly, a lot of rumours on the Wii forums, my mate in Chester-le-street who ordered from Argos before me got a phone call yesterday to tell him his is delayed until next week. I've been told twice now that since I've had no phone call telling me of a delay then I should get mine tomorrow PM.

Gets more confusing when others are claiming that they've had automated calls from Argos to CONFIRM they are getting theirs tomorrow!!!

Which sites have you found Bg, I'm mainly using http://www.wii-chat.com
and now also http://wii-uk.net/

Nintendo is onto a real winner with this console, looks so much for anyone that picks it up.

Never mind all this new rubbish, this is what you want

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Commodore-64...8&s=videogames

I know the point of the Wii is fun with the controller but the graphics on the Xbox 360 are far superior - not that im trying to be annoying and but in on boy talk

...and the graphics on a high end PC are way better than the 360. So don't buy a 360 because the graphics look better on a PC

Not to mention the poor kids whose parent's couldn't get hold of one for Xmas because of all the people like you who bought 5 or more to sell at ridiculous prices on eBay...

Oh, and I blame eBay entirely for this, they shouldn't allow people to sell newly released consoles for at least a month to give people a chance of getting one at a normal price.

Well said, just hope he gets stuck with all 5.

I dont think it's funny. I already stopped someone advertising their set on here, and I think we should stop talking about it.

it is his personal choice, if he wants to buy 5 and sell them on then it is up to him. i wish i had thought about it earlier to be honest.
we cant stop talking about something just because some people dont think it is fair. if people wanted one and didnt pre order then it isnt his fault.

Advice for anyone looking for a Wii...

I had one on launch from play.com, all my friends now want one, and I have sucessfully found 4 Wii's in different places over the last week.

Try these places...

www.amazon.co.uk They seem to be getting a delivery every few days.
www.play.com Again every few days.
Asda Stores, check the 24 hour stores in your area they are getting lots all the time
Game stores, again, keep calling your local store every morning, they will know how many they will be getting in every day.

Hope this helps
