I phoned HMV today and was told they are only getting six in there store. I asked where I was on the list and he went and checked, came back and said I was sixth wheee. I just hope it arrives and I get it coz he said sometimes they don't send the stock when they say they will. I preordered mine on the 7th Oct.

Hi all i would just like to say that anyone who has ordered from woolworths should know that they have debited my card today, which i have to be honest i was not expecting as my pre-order receipt said it would be debited when the item is ready for despatch.
Fortunately its not a problem for me as i had the money there and i am relieved that they have taken the money as im now convinced i shall be getting it for the 8th.
The only explanation i can think is that they have the units in now and they are indeed ready for despatch (to my local store in my case).
I do hope nobody has been caught out by this as i would of had it not been the end of the month yesterday.

Woolies are getting on my nerves now. I have been in contact with them via active messages feature on there website. And kept asking them when it was going to be billed. As my credit card expired yesterday and new one was only active from today. I change dthe details over at 8am this morning. As they said it wouldn't effect the order. But low and behold my order is now on BACK ORDER as billing failed.

I will be taking this up at a senior level if i dont get in on release day/week as i have got all the messages on file.


Not Happy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My boyfriend and I like to take a console with us if we go and stay in a hotel or in self catering accomodation in this country - this means we can also watch dvds, listen to music, look at photos we have taken, charge phones/camera etc as well as play games.

If I am away from home, I've usually got better things to do than watch dvd's or play games.

I won't be buying a wii until they have been reduced to £50 or so (get one second hand for £10 then. :>). I'm glad it doesn't play dvd's as I already have a dvd player. I'm glad it is not a pc because I already have a pc.

Creeping Featurism is the worst thing in the technology world. There are too many "jack of all trades, master of none" boxes around as it is.

The wii pad/remote does look awful though. ;-p

189.99 for the 360 premium package?!?
Are you sure...!??!
Woolies are doing it for 289.99........ or at least that's according to their website.

Did I miss something???

Yep, read the thread in grabbit.. Came with 2 free games which they refunded (2x 44.99).. I could only afford one so i went for the 360. Will be interesting to see what everybody thinks of the Wii when it arrives. I like the zelda games, if it drops in price i might get one.

When did you order your Wii? I ordered mine from Currys too and I'm unsure if I will get one for launch date (or 5-7 days after) .

Jeeez, the challenge is really on now isn't it! after cancelling my Great Universal preorder (as they were usless at giving me a date of delivery).

Ready, steady, go go go! lol

There WILL be somewhere i can get 1 from for xmas..., I know it!

- Let me add. No more expensive than £179.99 for the console hah

My Wii at Woolworths still says Back Order or Pre-Release, does this mean mine wont arrive on launch day?

psilvester

My woolworths Wii is ready for dispatch. Does anyone reckon they would let me take it away if it arrives before friday morning? I mean I have now paid for it and all.
