Official MoneySavingExpert Insert:
This is the thread in which people post availability for Nintendo Wii consoles in the UK and abroad (with UK shipping), as and when it happens. Finding one isn't easy; they've been in and out of stock in most places since this time last year, and demand's especially high right now.
Yet you've come to the right place; this thread was even featured in the Daily Telegraph as the premier place to look for deals.
So how do you use it?
For those new to using web Forum's the idea is simple. It's a place where people share information on the latest Wii spots. As the Wii is going in and out of stock at many places; you're going to need to be quick to get one. Keep your eyes open and return to the thread regulaly.
It's important to note when someone spots a Wii and posts about it, it gets added to the end and each post is time stamped. Therefore you'll have more luck moving to some of the later posts in this 'thread'.
What to do if you spot a Wii
Please post the name and location of the shop you saw it in if it's offline, and a direct link if it's online. Also, if possible state whether it's a console-only or bundle deal.
Still had no luck?
There are a few websites, such as ConsoleHunter, which'll send you updates of Wii deals as they happen. Be warned though, sometimes these are terribly overpriced, so don't get drawn in just because the console's available. This thread is of course about MoneySaving wiiiiiiiiis

Back to the original post. Thanks divadee!
As the other thread has got rather large and is reaching nearly 10k posts :eek: i thought i would start a new thread for christmas.
Please post all availability of the wii console in this thread and a link if its online.
If you could also state wether its a bundle deal or console only that would be great.

Right some info Please read before asking
UK and Euro Wiis play in the UK without any compatibility issues though you will have to buy an plug converter for a euro model(two pin plug) at around £3 on ebay.
Wiis from Other countries are not wholly compatible and may be region locked or in the case of Japanese wiis, only play Japanese discs in you have guessed it Japanese(might be a problem if you don't speak the language lol)
where to try:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/
http://www.johnlewis.com/ (£20 off code see below)
http://www.wilkinsonplus.com/

JL = JOHN LEWIS and Amazon are your best bet for Wii only at £179.99
Stock checkers that update every 60sec:

Many find that the stock checkers are too slow and suggest keeping open Amazon and John Lewis and press F5 which refreshes the page.
