Chances of getting a pre-order'd Wii

cu3ed · 25 Oct 2006 at 19:49

Just wondering, i happined to get an email stating that they where taking preorders, luckily i managed to get my name down about 8 hrs after they opened their door so to speak, with a copy of Red Steel.

But the more i read the more i see people where waiting to get in their as soon as possible.

Just wondering what my chances are that ill see it this side of Chrimbo!.

Possibly not at all if the fiasco which was their 360 pre-order allocation rears its head again

Oh and BTW that company is considered a competitor of OcUK

ohh crap i NEVR though about it!

You mean thisll get locked? fair play i dodnt think, if the mods can even edit that would be cool, i never cosidered as "X" to be in competion to OC.

What happinned with the 360?

Im sounding worried now lol. would just be nice to have it over chrimbo.

And beside are OC going to be stocking the Wii?

I dont think they will be but that website sells other things which OcUK sells also. (they havent stocked the 360 so i highly doubt they will stock the wii)

Technically they are a competitor but nobody in his right mind will buy PC parts from them. I don't know why everyone is so touchy about competitors. We all know who they are and as far as I'm concerned, OcUK is still the best place to buy.

The management has their reasons for deciding who is and isn't a competitor, and I can understand why this particular company has competitor status, considering their prices for some bits and pieces.

They "alledgedly" where giving out the 360's not a first come first served basis but based on the amount of money you had spent with them.
I personally believe there was something untoward about the whole thing as my brother placed his within minutes of them appearing on their website. It went to stock allocated, to shipped (with tracking number) and then back to not available over the course of the day up to release.

Then again Nintendo have been toutting that theres plenty of stock to go round so dont let that worry you. That is in contrast to the talk of limited numbers that MS where saying on the run up to release of the 360
