Hi folks, is there anywhere i can get this? It's sold out EVERYWHERE.

Thanks in advance.

barjam_2

you will probably have to wait til the next batch comes in (whenever that is ) just remember to also try the supermarkets

shedboy_3

Thanks for your response, mate...it's looking that way.

Tried every shop in town that "sells" it but still no joy.

Apparently, it's in February, but they won't have Wii Sports included. That's what I heard anyways. :cool:
I am not in possesion of one yet, but I do not think i can wait till bloomin' february and will probably nick one.

Fvck me, need to wait that till February!?

This gets worse all the time, it's kind of ridiculous how limited the stock is, i mean surely they knew there was gonna be a high demand for the product...

Ach well, what can you do eh.

I've a feeling there will be a few returns of these in the next few days. People have just been buying these because they are rare and will realise that they need a refund or they won't be able to pay the credit card at the end of the month. People will have bought duplicates but will not be able to sell on ebay either now the big day has passed. We have had one on preorder since early November but not received it yet. Our boys were disappointed not to get one from santa and so were we as it means we will have to buy them that as an extra! ahhh It has all been badly managed I agree.

Sorry to hear that, dude.

It's really frustrating and annoying to say the least.

According to the Official Nintendo Magazine, Nintendo released 100,000 consoles in the Uk on launch day.
Didn't they realise they'd sold that much already on Pre-orders?
Yeh, we should have pre-ordered ages ago.
