Trouble is that there might be stock somewhere one minute and its gone the next. If you spend a little time each day you will most likely get lucky by the end of the week.
My advice is to visit Argos stores. AFAIK you can't reserve a Wii over the phone or online yet so you have to do what we did. Visit the store (write the number down for the Wii as not every store has it in the catalogue) and enter the no in the stock checker. It will most likely say that theres no stock available to buy, but X amount will be available for pick up on X day. Then go to a till and reserve it. This is what we had to do and we got lucky in 3 days.

Other idea is to call your local Game store everyday. All the store managers I spoke to in my quest said that if I called each day and their stock for the day hadn't gone, I could reserve one but they would only hold it till the end of the day.


I appreciate not everyone is able to get into town everyday so what worked for us won't work for everyone but try, its the only thing I know that works.

Good Luck.

I got my Wii last night on the John Lewis website, they sold out within 20 mins. I have been visiting a website http://www.wiigamereviews.co.uk/ that regularly checks for stock on the well known websites then posts it on the site. I was lucky and checked in 10mins after they had been sited, there were over 10 in stock and then when I had been through the checkout they were all gone.
Recommend the site to all, also our local tesco has been getting them in at least once a week too. The likes of Comet and Currys have been told nothing til the end of Jan
Hope this helps

Hi Guys

I collected our Wii on 03.01.07 after reserving itat Argos, they also had another that was available when you typed the code into the price checker. I was surprised as it's a fairly small town so for two to be in stock I thought that was quite a miracle. Just can't seem to get hold of Wii play now which I'd like as you get a controller with it. You can't have everything though!

I went into my local PC World they said 2 were in stock at another localish store and to collect it from store via the online service.

This is unavailable on the wii, and the call centre guy said all wii's were allocated to pre-orders and wouldn't put me through.

Edit: I went back to the store, got them to phone up the other store to hold one/check stocks - turned out the 2 on the system were pre-orders outstanding that showed up...

Picked mine up at a Game in Wakefield that are getting orders pretty regularly now.

My advice is to print off a sheet of your local stores and ring them at 9am. Be prepared to shoot straight off. I picked mine up at 10.30, they had 5 in when I rang, mine was the last. As i was paying someone came in and looked totally hacked off I bought the last one..... thought I was gonna get linched.!

I'm away tonight on business so have to wait another day before I can play it....................... GUTTED

Quick post to say hi to all.

Just got a Wii from Comet this morning, hope this helps all those on the lookout for one.

how quick do you have to be for internet orders ?!
I had a wii in my Gamestation basket at 10.01am but the site was going slow ( or maybe it's my connection) and couldn't get to the checkout :-(
by 10.12am they had none left.
