    can't believe it. Have just had an email from Amazon to say my wii has been dispatched - they said not availbel till 8th December!!!!
  • OK everyone, first there was the Amazon.de and it was good. I’ve came across another German website called Alternate.de and there is also UK version of this site among many others. They have two bundles available at €249 and €299 + postage (£180-£210) and the principle is the same as ordering though German Amazon i.e create an account, user name and password on the UK site and use the same to login and purchase your Nintendo wii from Germany. The €299 bundle is available for dispatch within 24 hours but the €249 is showing 3-5 working days. According to the UK site, they will post anywhere in Europe but I can’t guarantee Nintendo will not try and stop them so you will need to be quick. You may also wish to contact them before ordering to confirm they will post to UK. I came across this site using the price comparison site pricerunner.de where you will find links to many other European sites selling Nintendo wii for the same price. Good luck.

    But the trick is finding ones that'll deliver to uk...

    Any luck with alternate.de though?

    The pranks have started too:rotfl:

    Was in the local high st/shopping centre earlier today when someone shouted very loudly "Hurry up Dad, Woolies have Wiis in stock!!!"

    The number of people running was very funny:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: (only reason I didn't run was that I have a stinker of a cold)

    A huge amount of these auctions are being won by hacked ebay accounts, so they can then send the seller a spoof payment email. That's why you see such inflated prices for these auctions on ebay.

    And you have evidence of this?

    I think it's unlimited as they are taxed in the EU.

    Don't hold me to this if they come at you with rubber gloves :)

    Don't panic and buy from eBay or anywhere else with ridiculous prices! Just be patient and wait for one that's sensibly-priced :cool:

    Good luck...
