    Funny that, same happened to me.:eek: Dunno what the legals are about changing a price part way through ordering.

    I have dealt with Retrowarez before and I have never had any problems with them at all.

    Looks as though they have been put on at the wrong price and the price was then corrected.

    Are they even allowed to do that? HMV wouldn't be allowed to do it so why should they? I dunno though.

    Of course I'm allowed to do it, they're my Wii systems and I am free to sell them at whatever price I see fit. Would you complain if I sold them at £100 and say they were too cheap ?? No of course you wouldn't.

    Does anyone know where I can pick up the Zelda game for my son. He had pre-ordered it from Play.com but received an e-mail yesterday saying:

    Nintendo have just informed us of stock shortages on this item and we regret
    that as a result we will be unable to supply your pre-ordered product at launch

    As an Official distributor, Nintendo have guaranteed us more stock before
    Christmas and we will fulfil your order as soon as we can.

    They have given me the option to cancel and wondered whether anyone else has stock.

    I ordered from Play.com as it was only £32.99 when I ordered.

    Thanks.

    Complain ?? You can complain all you like, makes no difference.

    You people on money saving sites annoy me. My site has a lot of competitively priced items yet we never see you year in year out but the second a "hot" item like the Wii is here you're out in droves. Well it's payback time to tightfisted consumers, sorry. I want serious money for these and that's what they are going to be sold for.
