    Yeah my question was - how long do you need to queue up for to get one ... is an hour enough ???

    I know it's not possible to answer properly

    But might help me get an idea what others are thinking then I can get there mins before you and get the wii's before you

    now that's taking the pi55

    well i can only go off last year in my asda for the 360 i went at midday to ask would it be going on sale at midnite and was it worth popping back in. She said to me that they only had 2 and some lads had been in there since 10am that morning.

    Our Asda had 14. People were queueing from 9am 'ish the day before.
    They ended up giving out guaranteed purchase tickets in the afternoon to get rid of them!

    Get this kids

    Preordered on Sat just gone

    Just phoned them up ... and told that I will be getting it on launch as they only have 9 preordered

    So the guy in the shop - who sold me the preorder wasn't telling porkies at the time


    wow ....


    So to everyone else just find a small town and a shop that not everyone wanting a wii would think sells them

    and it's not too late

    Ok ...

    It's hard to name a shop - as you need to go into the small town and find it - as any shop getting a wii - will get more than one. So finding a small shop that does games (ie indy toy shop) and they probably haven't had many/any preorders.

    The shop I went to was/is a big chain shop - but in an old/dead town - so I got lucky but I had asked at over 50 other shops first

    So it takes leg work
