    As these sites are obviously linked to Cashback Affiliate links, should they even be being plugged in this forum? :confused:

    (Obviously appreciate those that are not self plugging are not such an issue! : ) )

    Yeah I got one! This morning my local Game in Stockport had 9 delivered, when I phoned they were not taking names, 1st come 1st served policy. Arrived just before 10am & got the last one.
    Thanks to everyone on this site who has posted where Wii's are available.
    Can't wait to see my little boys face when he opens it for his 9th birthday.

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    Just been to my local Argos (Cumbernauld). They're Stock checker thingy says they'll have 5 in stock tomorrow.
    Everybody dies, but not everyone truly lives
  • Got up at 6am today to drive up to the Tesco to check the delivery, as the guy yesterday told me they might have some in. Nothing. the lady at the counter didn't even know what a Wii was. Phoned WH Smiths in Plymouth (the first place I phoned too). They received 3 yesterday and had one left over so they put it back for me at 9am. Ran in and got it for 9:15am! After looking around (for the Wii Play + Remote), most places seem to have received a few yesterday and I think Woolworths may have one left over too so might be worth any Plymothians giving them a ring.

    Still saying Amazon has stock though! :(

    And our message says..? "back to private sales". Which of course you can do on Amazon. We only stateth the facts.
  • I think the term I am looking for is....."WAAAHHOOOOOOOOOOOO I got one!!!". After reading Ricos post (thanks for that!), I phoned my local WHSmith and they had 1 in stock, together with Wii Play. I have reserved it and am on my way to pick it up now!

    The wife is gonna love me. She only said she wanted one last week! :beer:

    So, the moral of the story is to try the less obvious electrical/gamey places as well.....maybe Boots/Tescos etc...
