  • "When will I be able to pre-order my Wii console?
    From Tuesday, November 21, 2006, during UK business hours (9am - 5pm GMT). Order early, because the Wii console will be in very short supply. " -amazon wii faq

    It seemed silly for them to be this specific with time.

    When do I walk away? Just my luck it will refresh just as I do!

    Hope they release it today a least or I could be here for a while!
  • just to inform, F5 will refresh using the cache stored on your pc. So potentially, you are refreshing what is on your PC, which is obviously the holding page.

    Try CTRL + F5, its a forced refresh from the server, rather than your PC.

    It still is on the holding page using CTRL +F5, but you wouldnt want to miss this for not pressing a button..!

    Its also woth going back through the original link every now and again as they may just repoint the page and you'll be freshing the wrong one!!

    Thanks doing both just now
  • I'm waiting, nothing happening - how long could they keep us all waiting :confused:
  • My page now says nothing about pre-ordering today, could they have already sold out?
