I am absolutely furious with Comet, as over a week after placing my order and paying for the Wii Fit, they have today emailed me to say they are out of stock:mad: . What an absolutely appalling way to treat their customers. How can a company get away with taking money from your bank account and then not honouring your order. I know for a fact that they had stock up until 29/11 but only with Wii Fit package deals which were heavily overpriced IMO. My advice to anyone considering ordering anything from Comet is DON'T. Their customer service is a disgrace.

Quite a strong reaction when you were taking a chance on exploiting a loophole on their website - no one should have been able to get a Wii Fit from Comet in the last few weeks, but due to poor website management they lost a fair bit of revenue having decided like many traders to sell bundled packages only.

I got mine thanks to the advice on page 90 2 days after ordering, if it is still working, go for it, they do deliver and many people on this thread have had them...

I just managed to get one from Amazon (themselves, not the marketplace) for £68.50 so I am totally thrilled. I had one of the stock checker sites up and a pop up came on to say a site had some on stock, had loads of them today so thought it would be another package or rip off price so couldnt believe my eyes! Never used one of these sites for checking stock before but it was well worth it. Good luck everyone that still needs one!

Amazon have them now for £68.50. I bought one Saturday hoping I get the reduced VAT rate as well!

Just picked up Wii Fit on a bundle with another game for £104.99 on gameconnection.co.uk:D . Game is De Blob. Has good reviews. RRP is £35 (but you can get it for £18 on Play.com) Includes free delivery so not bad compared to the exploiters and rip-off merchants out there.

Probably have stock because they don't have links from directories etc.

Good luck.

I have just managed to get one of the Amazon ones by sitting and refreshing the screen and buying through one-click! However, i haven't received an email confirmation yet! I can view my order online through the Amazon website and it says that it hasn't been dispatched yet, but it is showing a dispatch date of May 09!!!!!! Does this mean that my order will sit on backorder until more stock comes in?

I checked the enail me when in stock, the email link took me straight oto the order screen, while refreshing the screen was still showing out of stock on another page.

Wii fit music package for £107.95, free deilivery with quidco code AFD10, a £10 voucher and 1.5% quidco cashback.

Delivery is on Wednesday.

I'm very happy with that.

Thanks for all the tips everyone :beer:

I have also been lucky enough to get one through Amazon. As per the previous post I have just sat here for half an hour constantly refreshing the screen until the £68.50 price came up, then pressed ONE CLICK and got it straight away. Had never heard of one click ordering on Amazon but set it up and it worked so thanks for the advice. Says I should recive my order by 4th December!

How can it be considered exploiting a loophole or lost revenue when RRP of Wii Fit is £69.99 which is what I and many others have paid for it
I'm afraid I have very little sympathy for retailers who feel that they can deliberately hike prices at Christmas when they know demand for this product will outstrip supply! As a customer, I expect to have the choice to buy this product on it's own or as part of a bundle.

I have also ordered one from Amazon today. Just refreshed screen every couple of minutes for half an hour and then got one for £68.50 using 'Oneclick'. Recieved email confirmation around 90 minutes later.
Hope this is helpful.
