Might want to edit your post, mate... both places sell 360s ;)

Not sure about Tricky Dicky's shops, but the supermarket is definitely first-come first-served (at least my local one is).

And you might not want to quote it! :p

Matt-Page, I pre-ordered mine from the same place and they guy seems to think the next batch is going to be on friday so it might be worth asking them?
 
The second of the competitors you mentioned Matt may have a few on release day but I know that my nearest store was taking pre-orders. I'm first on their list :D

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HELP ME!!!!!!!!

Competitor wont be getting my console in for launch. Ahhh i can't believe this! I Pre-ordered way in advanced as well.

I have had a rumour tho..... Competitor and Competitor might be getting some in and are on a first come first serve basis. I think i might be camping out for the occassion. Anyone else heard these sort of rumours?

Oh No you've quoted his post that means you need to edit your post too. :eek:
 
I had a call from a high street store saying im invited to the 11:30pm launch on the 7th, I have a definite wii. I pre ordered on the 20th of Sept.

I'll prob get the £269 a wii with 3 games thing daily geek posted.
 
Thats got to be fake, unless the tv case is made out of sugar paper.
There's no way a wiimote has enough mass to punch a hole in plastic, certainly not at any humanly possible speeds.
 
Just had a go on the wii 30 mins ago and its awesome!
The remote was smaller than i thought but it was quite snug. I also didn't realise how much the accelerometer does in wii sports, i kept putting left spin in wii bowling and didn't have a clue how i was doing it, the guy then pointed out that i was flicking my wrist before i released it :)

I played it at that Catalogue superstore (greek city) so if you have a local one you might want to check it out see if they have a demo pod running aswell.

I've got a friend who works in their Glenrothes (I think!) store, so I've asked him to see if he can get me information about bundles and the like. I've got a feeling a lot of the staff in the store our pre-order is at are talking rubbish, so if I get confirmation that they should know stuff later today, I'll go down and tell them off ;).
It's possible they're waiting to find out what everyone else is offering though, so they can build their deals accordingly. Annoying, but I guess it makes business sense.
 
Was talking to my boss today and he told me that I was crazy for letting my lil bro play it 1st, so he convinced me to get my Wii delivered to work instead.

Think he wants to have a go on the TV upstairs :p
 
Recently we sent you an email confirming that you would be receiving order
******* for release date on Friday 08/12/06.

This date was based on delivery of all of our launch stock arriving in time for
us to pick, pack and despatch to you. This is a precautionary email as we are
still awaiting part of our allocation from Nintendo to arrive and subsequently,
we won’t be able to ship your order in time for Friday. We can assure you that a
console will be with you within the week and you should not be concerned if it
is a Christmas gift. We will continue to communicate with you regularly about
availability over the next 72 hours.

Our sincere apologies for this situation, please accept this £10 off e-voucher
for your next order, we understand this doesn’t come close to the joy of
receiving a new console but hope it will go some way to ease the inconvenience
caused from this delay.

I preordered mine in october I'm number 47th from I'd say a company that people would class has one of the top two console and game stores and I haven't been told that I will or won't be getting mine on friday. Like I've said I think this service is disgusting and I'll never preorder anything with them again.
