Going to have a rant

Ordered a Nintendo Wii form xmas 2 months ago through Choice.

15% discount 52 weeks to pay...Sorted....Not

Just called them to see the ETA of the Wii and they have told me its now due next year!!!!

Just looked on internet and everbodys sold out!! Exept Ebay where they are going for stupid money.

Apparently Nintendo have promised stock and then turned around and withdrew the orders.

Well thanks for nout Nintendo nothing like future planning its not as if xmas is busy

I can't believe they're still going for ridiculous prices! I bought my son one last xmas and pre-ordered it when it was 1st released for pre-order in the summer, just to make sure I got 1 [well worth it though - they're great! lol]

Put your name down in all the shops in your town that sell them, you may be luckly they do get occassional stock especailly in the run up to christmas

I went to buy Wii last week. Didn't realise there is a shortage. Man in Currys told me they are due one shipment before xmas from America. I thought they came from China or somewhere like that.
Anyway cos we couldn't get one my son persuaded me to by Monopoly (OMG I forgot how much I hate that game) not watched telly for a week now cos we have been getting all the old games out to play. Bring back technology!!!

Just found a site with stock @ £174.99 including sports

UK Online DVD Shop and Video Games Consoles Superstore - ShopTo.Net

Good luck

i was going to tell you that PC world have them in stock

thought I would just check before posting and they sold out in half an hour

I remember having the same problem with the x box when they first came out you would think they would make sure that they had plenty at this time of year.

It still shows on the website as £379 and in stock, with 3 games a Memory card. I would shop around, maybe try e bay. I tried Woolworths for an XBOX 360 when it first came out, and got lucky. That was a Saturday morning after a night delivery. Maybe worth a call there.

If its any consolation,my son sold his a couple of weeks ago-said he wasn't very impressed due to the limited number of not very good games available. Mind you he is 19!!:o
