The place I have mine ordered from says they're not available until the 15th.

 

[smigga]

Does anyone what the deal is with receiving a confirmation email then getting that "precaution" email? The email pretty much blames Nintendo but I can't find any mention of any troubles with other retailers.

 

[Calum]

Picking mine up @ 430pm tomorrow, can't wait one of the first to preorder

 

[LORD APOCALYPSE]

Hey smigga, i got the same email, slightly gutted if this means that i won't get it 2moro...added room beside my other ninty's and everything.

Nope, competitor

still has my RGB cable down as pre-ordered, but says the dispatch date will be 6/12/06 - 7/12/06

 

[Metalface Mark]

Im really angry over this too, i was guaranteed a wii, but changed my mind on it last week, cancelled my order online - and forgot about it, today i find a despatched notice in my inbox, its going right back, grrrr.

There are other retailers that haven't recieved what they expected. Some have drasticly fewer than they thought, others (one a high street store thats part of a much much bigger company) have simply had their deliveries delayed until next week sometime.
It's probably a customs or shipping hold up by Nintendo.

I have a nice confirmation of dispatch though plus the parcel guy always seems to get here early in the morning.
