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

    I don't think you can use discount vouchers on electricals but i'm not 100% certain on this. Thanks anyway.

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

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

    Grammar is *never* off topic :cheesy:

    The Wii I ordered from Amazon yesterday has been dispatched already, can't wait to finally have it here wrapped up under the tree! I'll finally be able to relax. And to all those who have bought them just to sell for profit, bah humbug to you

    I'll keep my eye out for anymore being sold and post in here x

    When you change a delivery option at Amazon, what happens behind the scenes is that it actually CANCELS one order, and PLACES a new order.

    With this situation, there is a gap of a few seconds between Cancelling and Re-ordering where the console was available for anybody to grab ... and grab it indeed was.


    I feel most aggrieved because I was quite prepared to wait a week for it ... until they tempted me with their BOLD TYPE offer of having it in my hands tomorrow.

    Express delivery is NOT a trait of Money Savers, but ultimately I panicked that somethign might happen in the next week that could lead to the ordeer beign cancelled and I reasoned that it was better to have it in my hands than worrying that it might be cancelled.


    SODS LAW EH?


    I changed my order to Express Delivey after 4pm when all the Wii had sold out anyway... so wondering how someone could have bought mine in those few seconds.... still a tiny bit of hope.... my number can't be tracked on parcelforce website either but I am hoping to try tonight or tomorrow morning and it will have been put on.... fingers crossed....

    I hope you stop and think about my boy`s face on Christmas morning when he opens his presents and finds that the Wii console he asked Father Christmas for is not going to be there because i cannot afford your rip off prices

    :rolleyes: Maybe you should tell your 10 year old son on christmas day to stop and think about children in poorer families who wont be getting much at all.

    My 8 year old is sensible enough to wait until after christmas. Shes already said she doesnt want to be sat in a corner on christmas day playing console games.
