Getting you hands on a Wii!

  • A Game store will know if they are getting them really early in the morning, before they even open because they get the delivery note (well before the actual delivery). Asking at 9 when they open is the best bet and never ask staff who have just started their shift at 12, because they wont have a clue about what come in the delivery.

    No, I am being deadly serious. They hate each other with a passion.

    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!

    Have tried both game stores in Plymouth PM today no joy?

    Sorry you missed out. I guess keep doing the 9am thing to see if they're getting any in on the 10.30 delivery. I'm sure you'll get one if you keep getting there for 9 as there really wasn't much interest. I asked the youngish blonde guy in the old game and he was very helpful.
    the new game didn't have a clue the other one was getting a delivery

    Not wanting to sound preachy, but I was the same with my sister. My parents said tough. If we wanted big xmas presents (computers, games consoles etc) we had to agree and share, we'd get one SNES (showing my age!) and have to share. We soon learnt to get along as otherwise we never got anything we wanted. Sharing is a lifeskill.

    I don't want this topic to be about me and my family, so enough please. The boys have completely different tastes in games and they are buying the consoles with their own money. Let this be the end please.
