    Well I went to 2 Asda's earlier, both closest to me, one in Brighton, and the other in Brighton Marina. Got to the Brighton Asda at 10:20pm to find all Wii's already allocated, and 15 people sitting around at the last checkout right at the end for midnight to arrive!

    Then went on to the marina Asda, couldnt see anybody waiting but the woman at the electronics desk said that they had all been 'pre-allocated', unless they just went to staff?! That was at about 10:45pm, :(

    Ah well!

    I asked my hubby to check in the Marina for a queue, he said he overheard the lady at the entertainments desk say to another assistant that if anyone else phones that they had now all gone. I reckon they sold out pretty quick and they are telling the truth as you no there would be no room for people to hang about there so it would have been easier to give out tickets.
