So Who is joining the Queues for the Wii restocks Tonight??

Scrutinize · 15 Dec 2006 at 16:14

Well seeing as restocks of the Wii will be available at 8am tomorrow morning around the country....I am sure wii all know which store, so no need to mention it as thats not the point of this thread, I want to know who is going to join the queue

Having spoken to my local today, it really is fisrt come first served. They have also said they will be getting over 50 instock so I reckon anywhere between 5am and 6am will be early enough for the special 8am opening. If not and there is a huge queue I will just go home. Lol

Any other crazy people out there then?? :eek:

I've already got mine, but my mate asked me to sit in the queue with him so I am, going down at 3 lol

Its gonna be cold

I might take my Wii down and play some Wii Sports in the queue to keep me warm, and to tease

The supermarket i got mine at got in 45, the queue was full 5 hours before the sale time. Saw plenty of people with disappointed faces show up 2hrs before the time, don't underestimate demand.

Can we name any places that are getting restocks or is breaking the "no competitors" rule? Supermarkets getting some?

Yer, I am wondering that, as it will be a cold night hopefully this will deter some, plus I am not near any major cities. I was thinking of actually parking my car in the queue tbh as by looking at the area this would be possible.

I will go down for 5am and if its full by then I just miss out on 30mins sleep. Maybe I shoudl take a tent.

dude, you can't ask that. friendly pointer.

R.O.S.S.I · 15 Dec 2006 at 16:43

Hmmm im contemplating going down, already have a Wii myself, but know my Brother wants one too.

Scrutinize · 15 Dec 2006 at 16:44

I am trying to find people to queue with me as a toilet break could kill me. Empty coke bottle 4tw I guess. My wife won't, she is finding this rather amusing atm

Squark · 15 Dec 2006 at 16:48

Sorry
I just really want to know,
I dont want to break the rules

Frostygills · 15 Dec 2006 at 16:53

Doubt I'll go down, maybe about 8ish, but I'm not sitting in the dark, cold for one. On another forum someone said people have started to queue already. What is the world coming too???

Yer I saw that I am glad there are not cities within a 30 mile radius of me. And all those are covered anyway. I would imagine the Manchester/Brimingham/London area would be impossible if you queue much later than 5am

I have totally worked out it is the thrill of the chase for this thing. I really do want to have a go on it

Andr3w · 15 Dec 2006 at 17:08

smokedog · 15 Dec 2006 at 17:09

Almost every forum I been on, has talk of this store and some of these are longs threads. The queues are going to be HUGH! Some people are already hanging about this said store now.

smokedog · 15 Dec 2006 at 17:14

Nintendo Wii Mega Fun Pack £289.99
Excellent value Nintendo Wii pack consists of the new Wii console with wireless remote controller, 4 action packed games including Sports, Play, Cars and GT Pro Series, an additional controller and steering wheel.

R.O.S.S.I · 15 Dec 2006 at 17:15

I was going to ask a MEGA huge favour off anyone who manages to stumble across a component cable for the system to pick me one up and i will sort them out generously but ive managed to find a site with them in stock and i should get it next week! w00t!

Actually the second pack is pretty good...unwanted can always be traded into somewhere and the trade ins are good atm so still works out chepaer than having to pay 330 for a console on the auctions.

I heard there are going to be several bundles though :confused:

. Meh I just want to feel like I have achieved great things with my life and queueing for a wii is right up there with climbing everest in my book

I believe its one per customer as well although I am willing to test this theory.

Andr3w · 15 Dec 2006 at 17:23

is it true they are not selling the £179 pack? this is gutting

ps. still not sure which store lol
pps. virri check your mail :O
