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.

Managed to snag three actually

Maldax · 7th December 2006, 20:33

My Mrs is getting me one for my Birthday in May! May have a change of getting one by then

czechplastik · 7th December 2006, 20:46

If i could get one i would, just have to wait like the ordinary people!

sarahjo · 7th December 2006, 20:54

Oh boys and their toys!!!

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

sco77harris · 20th December 2006, 00:59

...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.

sco77harris · 20th December 2006, 15:16

lol im a bit heartless with these kind of things but if wasnt me doing it it would be someone else
theyre all onthe credit card so can return them and with 2 i had to buy 2 games with each but i just returned them seperatley lol

basegreen · 20th December 2006, 15:39

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

Andrea · 20th December 2006, 15:48

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.

Mark996 · 20th December 2006, 16:30

Agreed completely Andrea.

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
