    If people are interested I've called the following stores in Brighton

    Comet
    HMV
    Toys R Us
    Game
    Argos
    Blockbuster

    All are saying the same thing. No stock anywhere and probably none till Feb.

    No reliance should be placed on the above.

  • I have one wii console and game, super fruitfall game and raving rabbits game all reserved at Argos Coventry Gallagher until tomorrow night which Hubby won't let me get (he is a real moneysaver - won't let me spend!). PM me for the res numbers.

    Now gone - sorry.

    They're probably fed up at the number of people ringing them.

    So how do you reserve them then - go into the branch? Doesn't seem to be possible on line for the consoles. What's to prevent you from reserving at more than one branch?

    When I got mine, I went into the store and they had 1 for delivery the day after. I went to the Customer Services counter and they just reserved it for me there and then.

    When I was going into the stores to see if it was in, they kept on telling me to ring the number to reserve one and were shocked when I told them you couldn't do that for this item.

    Hmm - so they don't know their posterior from their elbow. Did you find out the availability by going to a till or typing the number into one of the stock-checker machines?

    Don't know if this is any help.

    I got mine by phoning the argos ring and reserve line. I used my VOIP provider as it is an 0870 number or use Saynoto0870.

    I then punched in the number from the catalogue, the code ( in the catalogue) for my local and not so local stores.

    Took me about half an hour but managed finally to get a store which had one in stock. reserved it and picked up using the the reserve code.

    When you phone up it tells you cannot reserve the item until you find a store that has one in stock.
