    Cheers, had to re-order due to putting yesterday's order through on a new card which I hadn't called to activate :eek:

    E-mail this morning from JL saying had been cancelled, absolutely gutted. Thankfully I've now ordered one from Woolies :beer:

    DOnt forget quidco for £9 back and also you can have it delivered to store to save on postage charge of £4.95

    They won't let me order one as I ordered one from them ages ago! And yes I sold it because the money being offered was too much to turn down... :(

    Second controllor so you can play tennis against a friend. If you buy wii play it comes with a second controllor.

  • I managed to blag one from Comets call centre in Hull. They said they are the only part of Comet who have them and they can dispatch them within two days. The only down side is that they are only available in packages, but who cares. At least you:T can get one. Apparently they have about 100 left for the whole country and I was even given a direct line to order instead of some national rate number which was spot on. ring em on 01482592308

    I've been using Choices UK for games, don't forget Quidco for a bit back. Raving Rabbits is just so much fun, I'd highly recommend it as a game.

    DO NOT buy Rampage, Super Fruitfall or Pinball, they all suck :) Go look in the Official Nintendo Magazine or N-Gamer for reviews before you part with money for games.

    Accessories wise the 2nd controller (wiiplay if you can get it is good value, so so games but it's £35 and the remote alone is £30 so it's only a fiver for the game if) is usefull, makes Tennis more fun, 2nd nuncheck is £15 extra too.

    If you want to play gamecube games (cheap in Game or Gamestation) you need a Gamecube controller and a memory card, so thay may be worth buying

    Warning about woolworths.co.uk: similar to Tesco, website stock status seems to be delayed, allowing you to place an order even when none are available - the status of mine changed from being delivered tomorrow to being on pre-order. Needless to say I called and cancelled, so the hunt continues :rolleyes:

    I got mine from Argos in March-I have a reservation number for the Midsomer Norton branch. It has to be collected by the end of business Thursday, so first person to PM me will get the number.
    You can also buy a game and get £10 off, which can work out good value.:beer:
