    I didn't pay that either but its cheaper than ebay and interest free.
  • Thanks FloFlo. At least there are some people out there with Wii's still thinking about the people who were unlucky.

    I ordered from Currys but they told me I'm looking at the end of January which is ridiculous. I would cancel the order but what hope have I got of getting one elsewhere? I wasn't too bothered about getting one on launch day. I would even wait till the end of december, but end of january?

    Nintendo will dispatch A LOT of consoles and shop assistants will be begging you to buy them.

    I wouldnt bet on that my friend!

    Why are ALL major retailers saying virtually no more stock till Jan then?

    I can't understand why if people really wanted one they didn't pre order one at a few shops like i did.

    Because this island has received around 10% of the units that Japan did.

    With two territories receiving ample units before we did there was an air of confidence in Nintendo being able to honour the orders.

    They haven't.

    Well done for being sceptical enough to order at several places. I for one won't be burned in this fashion again.

    Shame the system can't do anything about the way you write:p

    ....and that's off-topic as well:D

    Does this mean that places Grattan will not be fulfilling orders in 12 days?

    There is also a code around for 15% off anything over £75 if that is any help to anyone.
