I am under instruction from my son to find him a wii, as he deposits 10 different vouchers from 8 different stores on me!.
Anyone help? Also if anyone can tell me how much I (he!) should be paying without being ripped off.
Can get around North London & north of London so Brent Cross or Watford Harlequin and anywhere in between.

I got mine the other day. I couldn't be bothered to mess about hunting around the shops so I just used the locator.

The pop up flashed when it was in stock. I ordered it. Amazon sent it. Charged me £1.50 for postage (approx, give or take 20p) and it was sent via Parcel Force two days later. Cost me standard price for sports package.0 -
Just a tip about ebay - try looking at those within driving distance, and offering to pay to end early and to collect. The seller will avoid almost £10 in ebay fees, which you can factor into their selling price, and you get to see the console before handing over money.
I done this a month ago, and picked it up with Zelda + sports for £230 (it was going for £260-207ish at the time, and retails for £220. so pretty good, and didnt have to wait for the auction to end).matched betting: £879.63

Why not try selling the vouchers on ebay, might loose 10-20% of the value but might solve the problem. Other than that why not stalk some shoppers at the till offering them the vouchers for cash.0 -

The PS3 preorders have been doing rubbish !! at least at my store, theres about 1/3 of what the wii took, and its been running alot nearer to the launch than Wii. though they did only start taking them a few weeks ago, but sony announced it so close to launch day. I really do think that PS3 will be the next GC of next gen consoles !
I work for Argos and all the information i've seen also points to a mass avaliability from May onwards. My store recieved 18 yesterday, i nearly died of shock, they've all gone now tho! but i'd be guessing most other Argos stores recieved around the same amount.0
