  • i cant get hold for one for love nor money! I havent waded through the 41 pages of comments so sorry if its already been mentioned but i found this on Digg

    http://digg.com/tech_deals/NEW_STOCK_of_Nintendo_Wii_at_Amazon_co_uk_Between_3_4PM_UK_TIME

    ive seen that a couple of place elsewhere too that Amazon are going to release stuff. ive rang costco and makro and they all saying they dont stock any now either. all the main retailers are sold out.
  • dont get me wrong i dont agree with what that website did,saying a object is a certain price then ramping it up on checkout BUT if he can get 500 for it then fair enough.a fool and his money are lucky enough to get together in the first place imho.

    it has been this way with consoles since the ps1 and then ps2 etc,the only way to get a console on launch date is either pay over the odds or get in early now a days.to be honest the thrill of the chase is possibly more exciting than the actual getting of the console lol.

    on a lighter note i would be amazed to see any of those £500 wii`s shifting.
  • For anyone who actually did order, if you feel strongly enough please report this to your local trading standards.

    I really want a wii !!!!!!

    I think I have more chance of seeing Lord Lucan riding down the street on Shergar.

    But, maybe he has one and is delivering it to me.

    Ok back to reality.

    Well they did in cheshire oaks.

    Take old games in and trade them off price too. And get a loyalty card.

    DrSteve, where abouts in Stoke are you based?
  • Not that I condone this sort of behaviour, but it would be a shame if anyone has any dummy ebay accounts they don't use anymore, you could perhaps buy a quantity of items from his on-line store :)

    Not that I would do such a thing :)

    And you accuse me of being dishonest, tut tut
