Anyone want to lend me a shotgun!!!!!!!

:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Just got the letter through the door. The WII that we ordered over two weeks ago that was due to arrive on the 19th Dec, no sorry the 22nd of dec, no sorry the 19th January, is NOW DUE ON THE 22nd FEBRUARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Sons Christmas is now officially spoilt. Why in GODS name didn't they just say in the first place that we wouldn't get it until next year. Now it's too late to do anything about it.

If anyone has any idea where I could get one from by Saturday please tell me.

    Shopto.net had some bundles in stock today, I ordered one at 5, and it was dispatched by 5.30 - guaranteed delivery for tomorrow. The only one you'll get one in time for Christmas, is to buy one off eBay (very soon), or to find a shop with one in stock - GAME are getting some more tomorrow, if you are willing to queue up in the morning, as are Woolworths (from what I've heard).

    Good luck!

    Thanks I was on shopto.net and couldn't register. Typical. I'd happily camp out, but I bet the Aberdeen stores are the ones getting stock.

  • Must vent again.
    We're all just feeling so disheartened. Haven't told DS that it's not coming yet.
    You know that feeling when Christmas is all sorted and you just have to sit back relax and start wrapping with a nice glass of sherry. Well I was at that stage this afternoon. My Christmas spirit has just got up and gone. If it were for me then I could live with it, but for your kids it's different. You always want the best.

  • I logged onto Amazon at 8am the other day & ordered one. Came 2 days later - it's class :)

    I ordered Wii Play from Shopto.net last Friday, next day delivery.........sticl aint got it.

    They reckon they sent it out on Friday as well :(
  • I got mine from ebay in the end because I just give up in the end all that searching.I find one for £260 delivered should receive tomorow I hope.The best thing for you is to find who sells near where you live so you can go and collect immediately.Use the searching option "nearest first" on ebay.Hope this helps.:xmastree: :xmassmile Merry Christmas!

    No I do think it is LX directs Fault. At no point did they say that there was a possibility that it would not arrive in time until YESTERDAY!!!!!! What Fool told me I'd get it on the 19th of December and then wrote and said sorry no the 22nd December and then again SORRY FOR THE DELAY, BUT YOU ARE NOT GETTING IT UNTIL FEBRUARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    IN stock means they have it to send to you, by any other shop I've evr bought from. It does not mean you'll get it in 2 months time.

    Just stay in the grabbit thread and keep hitting refresh - they seem to be popping up on 2-3 sites per day now.
  • John Lewis has received 258 consoles at its distribution centre, but I don't know if they'll make it to branches in time for Christmas, nor how many will go to each branch.
