Gareth is that "where's me jumper" in your sig?

Also has this one hour notification been given yet? I need another Wii lol.

VIRII, yes (Sultans of Ping) and no (1hr notification... supposed to be happening this afternoon.)

I'll post something on here if I see the notification in time, but having a fairly busy day today so no guarantees.

JUST about got mine today, all thanks to Abyss who text me to let me know where to get one.

Many thanks mate, I wasn't sure who you were in the queue, and I didn't want to walk up to somebody and say "are you *** OcUK guy"

Thanks again

I did alright I got a Wii for £206 from someone online (not a store), bought Zelda an extra Numchuk & Wii play total £297, put it up on ebay and it sold for £501.

While the auction was running I queued at a popular toy store for another Wii to keep, got one for £289.99 (wii, wii sports, Zelda, Rayman, GT Series)

£501 - £297 = £204 -£289.99 = -£85.99

So my Wii only came to £85.99 in the end.

Also had no problems with Numchuks or wii play in my town. Some stores had loads in stock.

Guess my best option now is to go queue early at the toy store ... seems to be where most people are having some degree of success!

I was number 59 at 6am and they only had 63 consoles/bundles so get there as early as you can mate.

Just missed out by one person, cos I was looking round the shop. I'm so angry with myself now, I think I might cry

Raymond Lin · 19 Dec 2006 at 13:39

So deliveries are still coming through, what do people think of them to be aplenty in the shops in January?

Frostygills · 19 Dec 2006 at 13:44

I'd reckon they will be loads in the shops in Jan.

punky_munky · 19 Dec 2006 at 13:52

And probably quite a few cheap ones on ebay too. Unwanted presents and that.

I dont think you will have a problem getting one by friday if you really want one. I saw people with them round town this morning after buying them in shops. That was around 10 this morning.

mrgubby · 19 Dec 2006 at 17:05

Bought one today

with Wii Play , Zelda & Super Monkey thing in the High street (a shop near Bank tube station in London) . They are getting deliveries at 12 o-clock (lunchtime) each day. They only get 15 at a time so you need to be there about 11 ish.

FeFiDoh · 19 Dec 2006 at 17:16

Any swindoners managed to get one yet?

I saw it and noticed that you post on there a bit too, was going to say hi but I don't think I have a forum account there.
They had 60 odd but after fulfilling pre-orders it was a few less but the sheer numbers of people trying to get one put me off. I prefer to queue lol.
The other thing is the bundle aspect puts me off. Bundles add nothing at auction at the moment, £120 of games adds about £50 to the end price so I have a bunch of games and bits here already and don't want to add to it:

2 extra wiimotes, 1 classic controller, 1 extra nunchuck and a nice new white GC controller.
Zelda, Red Steel, Happy Feet, Raving Rabbids, Play (and sports of course).

The kids games are for my daughter, the rest of the games aren't that exciting to me and will probably be on MM soon or I'll be looking to exchange them in stores for 360 games or something.
