  • rarer than hen's teeth that Wii
    Goooooo with the Flowwwwww
  • Can I please urge anyone buying one of these for themselves (and not for children) to try one first and not get one because of the shortage?

    I think they are fine if you are not usually into gaming but if you are, forget it, I was bored with my nephew's after 10 minutes and the way it senses the controller is very poor.

    Get an XBOX 360 and then the real motion sensor controller when it arrives later in the year.

    I found this offer which is a little better (i think) than the others I have seen:

    Wii console pack + 3 extra controllers (so you get 4 in total which is what you need i think especially for the tennis doubles match!!!). The 1 nunchuck and 1 wimmote comes in the console pack anyway.

    found it at
    http://www.maxedigital.co.uk/products/gamingcards/nintendo_wii_console_bundle.html

    I preferred this bundle than the others who have some crappy games you have to buy! Don't know how many they have left as it doesnt say on the site.

    regards,
    Paul

    Yes, if all that appeals to you is over-egged shoot-'em-ups then you will be disappointed, because the Wii is different. But if you're that kind of customer you'll know that anyway. If you prefer quirkiness, charm and gameplay then you will love it.

    So this extra-cost "real motion sensor controller" works a lot better than the Wii's one does it?
    Time is an illusion - lunch time doubly so.

    GAME high street in Nottingham had some that other day and I recieve an email from Game saying they had them in.

    Makes me laugh I registered my interest before XMAS and they have only just emailed me!

    I think there's a few higher priced bundles surfacing now.
