    I was in atleast 3 of the Extra superstores including Gallions Reach (they recieved a batch yesterday, went like hotcakes), none of them had any, but im wondering If i should go again now just before 12...

    Any news would be appreciated TescoEmployee

    No - Strict policy on this one, No reserving of the 'Wii's' - It causes too much hassle

    Only specific Tescos are getting them in an area - not all Extras do... if they have had none they wont be getting any. Find the nearest store thats had them and ask them - tho that probably wont help!

    New Malden had some today (thanks again to foxxes for the heads-up). I got one this afternoon, and bumped into another moneysaver there who got the last one just seconds after me.

    The crucial thing is that there were none of the dvd-type boxes they use on the shelves. I had to goto CS and ask.

    Don't walk into the store and assume they don't have any because the shelves are empty - goto the desk.

    This brings back fond memories of the Tesco £299 laptop hunt!

    wish id of read this earlier would of shot down there, would of been well worth the journey
