    Just the console, but I bought Zelda to go with it. I traded in my old Xbox at the same time (only £20 for it!), so it came to £200 with Zelda. I was also after Wii Play, but they had none in stock. I thought about the bundle because I thought it was for £270, which woud have been a huge saving, but when I looked again it was actually £370 - not so great!

    WHAT?! are you really saying you gave away your xbox for the sake of adding 20 quid?!

    I went into my local Argos on Friday evening and they had 1 waiting for delivery. I went to the counter to see when it would be in and they reserved it for me. The assistant said I was very lucky as it had only just been added to the system and they go immediately. They told me they get odd ones in every few days and it is just a case of going down and looking at their system.

    Now I just have to get another one for my other son who is mortified that his brother has one and he doesn't. They won't share.

    It was the only way the Missus would let me get one! I found myself not using it much anymore anyway.

    I can't either - they are going for over £250! I bet they will be freely available in a couple of weeks.

    I read in the papers recently about someone who made over £6000 buying wiis and selling them on ebay! No wonder they're so hard to get hold of if people are doing this!

    I was wondering that too!!

    I thought the idea was to have 2 controllers and to play games like bowling and tennis together! Failing that, how about the boxing game!! lol:rotfl:
  • I bought a Wii in Game in Carmarthen and managed to reserve Wii Play in Argos in Aberystwyth. I think if you keep on hunting and spend a couple of mins on the phone (use saynoto0870) ringing round, you should get hold of a console and game. I might not be posting too much in the future as I'm currently trying to reach the top of our family leaderboard in Wii Sports so Happy New Year to all in advance.
    Consider anything only don't cry!
