Just pop down your local supermarket, etc at the opening time and you should get one.

Ain't going to happen bub, i've spent a few hours today phoning various supermarkets. All large megastores 24hrs etc with large home entertainment section, only 1 out of the 4 large ones near me is getting any and they reckon it'll only be 2-3 at the most. Found one other superstore who will be getting some but they don't know how many until later on.
 
You aint getting one then Boom, maybe next week, is this a ploy by Nintendo to make a massive demand for them, ZOMG SOLD OUT MOST BE GOOD
 
I dont mind if its not launch day. I wont even have time for the first few days to even touch it.
But the site advertised first week of sale guaranteed. If i dont get one in that first week, i'd say ive got pretty valid grounds to complain.
 
Supermarkets are the worst, yes they get in consoles but what 10-20 and staff take a few and most people in the que are college kids wiating all day and reading mags, you will have to get down there on Thursday morning for any chance.
 
You should I walked into a supermarket last year when the 360 was out at midnight and there was loads of games in the back room.

Mines showing identicle to that :D

There may be bigger demand on ebay than some first thought, there's now atleast two shops saying they haven't recieved what they expect for launch day :(
Nintendo must have had a shipping delay somewhere.

Same here. I Just wish that they would send out another email saying sorry havent got enough but they havent even done that. Oh well will just have to wait a little longer
 
I pre-ordered early so they are probably going through the first pre-orders then to the later ones and then the ones that wont be getting one for launch.

I dont understand why people dont pre-order then on the very first day, consoles are always in demand, it happened with the 360 last year and it will happen with the PS3
 
Mines got being picked as well :) though the classic controller hasn't got that so maybe I wont be getting one of those.

I think there's gonna be a bigger bunfight over wii's than previously thought as demand seems to have well outstripped supply which it didn't look like was gonna happen.

Even more so is what looks like chronic shortages of accessories with rumours of really low amounts of classic controllers, nunchucks, wiimotes as well as the rocking horse **** level of component & RGB cables.
