    Well after receiving a call from MW on Tuesday confirming it'll be delivered today I got a letter this morning saying delivery would be delayed until 29/1, not a problem (even though it's my birthday pressie which is tommorrow). When I logged in to track my order it then stated my estimated delivery was 23/4!!!. I'm not prepared to wait that long even for such a bargain so I phoned up and cancelled my order and will now try and get hold of one, as originally planned, from John Lewis. At least my staff discount will knock a little off the price. It was definately worth a try though, nothing ventured and all that. Congratulations to everyone that received their order, lucky !!!!!!s!!

    I ordered at 5.30pm on the 8th, an hour after the lady above whose order has been delayed 3 months, so I haven't a cat in hell's chance of getting one this month have I?!

    Wow all this interest in the Wii Fit that won't actually get you fit (even in their literature they say it's to help with "balance" and won't get you fit!)

    If I'd have known I would have sold mine and my friends, cause both of ours have been gathering dust in the corner for the past two months or so :D
  • I also had the letter stating it would be delayed a week to the 29/01/09...and checked the status today and it is still with a status of "Order Accepted" but like others I have an expected delivery date of 23/04/2009.

    I orderded mine exactly 3 hours after the original post.

    I think I am going to hold out to the 29/01 before I cancel the order....i'm hoping the letter was right!

    Has anyone actually phoned up and asked them to explain why the delivery date has changed so drastically (especially people who have recieved letters tellig them its delivered next week?)

    staceylou - what does it say when you log-on to the order status section? Does it say despatched?

    What a rollercoaster this is! I keep thinking "ooh it sounds good", then "no way will I be getting one". I must try harder to be patient!
