Getting hold of wii

Septh · 28 Mar 2007 at 22:25

Hi guys,

I've been trying to get hold of wii for weeks now, I was wondering if anyone has any tips on getting one? or any insider info what shops will have them and when? I was told beginning of april by one shop today.

Cheers,
Mac

The way I did it on launch and recently is befriend someone who works at a store and get them to put one aside for you.

There are some web sites that help you find wiis , if you call some retailers they will email you when in.

Too many people use them though unless you get a very lucky break. I honestly believe physical stores is the way to go if you want one.

Go to a store, put your name down for one and you should be in possession of one within 3 weeks.

Like the above, visiting around local stores is the best way to get Wii.

Its a nightmare.. just soaks your hands...

They still going for a premium on the bay?

i found best way is like said.. just get calling around the bigger shops.. find out what time they normally get deliverys and call the shop at these times etc.. try your luck and see if they will keep one back for you. if not just haul ass to the shop to get that bad boy before its on display

Cheers for the replies,

I have been phoning the game daily, the one day I didnt phone as I thought "they won't have deliveries on a saturday" they had some in and they all sold out

I'l keep trying the shops, the online shops seem a waste of time tbh.

sign up to a wii stock checker and you will get an email alert when online shops available got mine that way. Gave a link to my work collegue who had trouble getting one yesterday .This morning he had got one, as 2 online stores had them in stock.
