Well, it's only worth £220 on paper, but depends if you really want one for christmas. If you run via a Wii component cable, you'll get a lot better picture at 480p.

i was kidding :rolleyes:

just wait for the shelves to be stocked. and if your worried about the picture, why havent you gone to your local store to see the wii's that are set up with hd screens?

I sold one for £280, one for £310 and one for £360.
It is good but is it worth £130 to get one a week or so earlier ?

christ, nothing is worth being bent over for! I can imagine the seller getting his tub of vaseline out now

Just wait until after the xmas rush, for that money you could buy the Wii, extra controllers and a few games. Thats what i shall be doing!

Off topic but i didnt want to start a new thread, how does the Wii save games etc? Memory card or HDD?

They're going for £260 on auction sites and £180 in the shops if you phone around .

It's your choice

No. I've had mine since launch, had no more than 2 hours play.

Zelda is, and will be brilliant, but other than that there is nothing, nada, nout!

me too. i sleep like a baby. i got a free Wii. no-one forces people to pay over the odds, do they?

jklc · 20 Dec 2006 at 22:08

Depends on how much you want one. I was willing to import one and pay any potential customs charges for mine early. The guy who bought my backup preorder unit on ebay wanted one badly enough to bid £425 for it delivered :eek:

Wait until the hype is over, just keep playing with your own wii-lly until then.

punky_munky · 20 Dec 2006 at 22:37

Wait a week and save yourself the money unless you're filthy rich. They look fine on an HDTV btw.

Your one of those judgemental people, shame on you.

My annoyance is that it means there were probably around 7000 less Wiis (that's a guess) available to people than there should have been. Can't really blame people for wanting to make a few (hundred) quid though. It's just the way our society works unfortunately.
