It is ironic and slightly sickening to see people whining about greed whilst extolling the virtues of Xmas as "having the latest toy". Pot, kettle, black.

Lets go for a pint with our evil dirty wii ebay money. ;)

For sale 2 prosthetic legs, hurry they are "running" out of stock fast.

People will be getting a Wii remote and pad, so why do they need anymore, I ordered a VGA cable for the 360 and sold it because I thought it was better connecting it to my tv instead of my tft, it went for somthing like £45, and that was second hand, I put 2 and 2 together and got profit, hunted down about 8 vga cables and sold them on ebay to people who "NEEDED TO CONNECT THERE 360 TO A VGA SORUCE ZOMG I CANT STAND COMPOSITE"

People make a living out of pre-ordering Rolex watches, supercars, limited editon cars, buying houses to rent etc. everybody does and dont give me this chirstmas spirits ********, people barging past you in stores, just general get out of my way crap.

All I can say is I never got Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle toys for one xmas and I was gutted really really gutted they had sold out, my parents had to buy fake ones in the end, so I know who it feels.

Knowing me, I will be too tempted to open it up and have a go myself. I'll probably feel disappointed tomorrow if they really have cancelled it and the phone call was made in error! :D

Addition: Just checked bank online and they have credited my money back so Lord knows what will happen.

woo, just checked again and I'm getting Zelda tomorrow, so at least I'll be able to read the manual for it for a week until my console arrives. :)

:(
nice way to rub my nose in it you bummers
 
just got a phone call from *the evening news* that my Wii has been delayed till 13th, this is from someone who pre-ordered the day the site went live (20th October) and when others who have ordered as late as the 21st November have had calls that they are getting theirs tomorrow, also i phoned twice to be told over the phone that i'm down for delivery tomorrow.

:(

Same here, kinda.
The Wii & Component cable are still listed as pre-order, where as Zelda is listed as 'ready for dispatch' for me.

Is there any exact date on the next shipment of Wii's?

I have just spoken to a lovely young lady in the customer services department of a large high street chain who tells me that my Wii with extra controller is en route to me via DHL and will be with me in the morning.

I feel rather smug :p

;)
 
Finally tracked down a supermarket near here with a decent amount of stock for a midnight launch. They have 40 consoles but the woman said the phone had been ringing off the hook. Heading there about 10, hope i'm there in enough time! Will take my DS to keep the boredom away while i queue!
 
Hi,

Another supermarket has some in and has between 10-20 per store. The full list is over on another well known forum. Just phoned my local store which has 20 in and there are already 4 people in the Queue!!!! :eek:

Cheers,
Hugest
 
A high street store I went in today had Component cables ready to be sold tomorrow, it wasnt a mistake either as they had some out already

Dunno whats going on there
 
Hmm maybe all this jazz about the component cable is rubbish? I've still yet to hear apart from the Play stuff that it's officially delayed.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I made my pre-order back in october with GamePlay and damn me if my order not gone missing :(

they are adamant that there was no ordre placed so i'm up poo creak unless i can find a 24hr supermarket doing a midnight launch, but none of my local ones are and we have ALL the supermarkets... does anyone know which supermarkts are doing this so i can find the next-local one and haul ass down there tonight? i GOTTA play zelda and even booked tomorrow off work to play :(
 
Ebay prices are hovering around £340 ish at the moment.

What to do when i get mine in the morning. I mean - yes i want one for the kids at xmas, but 100% profit may be too much to resist :D

cmt
 
Mine has finally been posted, but seeing how I got it off a certain jersey based company it will probably not turn up till next week :(
