Nintendo Wii

Does anyone know of a store that will be selling the Wii on Friday without the need for pre-ordering? I realise I have little chance of finding one but there's no harm in asking! I'm in the West Yorkshire area.

    You could try somewhere like Woolworths first thing on Friday morning to see if they get any stock in that has not been reserved or try a shop that might not do pre-orders

    Some shops are apparantly opening at midnight to sell the console and some will be opening early Friday morning so if your gonna go round the shops make it early

    If you can, it's probably worth just walking around town and asking all the shops what they're getting when and if there's a chance of you getting one.

    remember last year with the xbox 360 the shops didn't have enough stock
    to honour the pre-orders never mind any to sell.our local pc world stayed open all night even though they had none to sell. crazy

  • Just as a word of warning, Woolworths stopped taking pre-orders a few weeks ago. They're still advertising it as being available though. I think the preorders only cover initial stock delivery. They may have another batch ready before xmas.
