    Iamdeveb - i would have to disagree with you on that one this time, i took out a deal thru dialaphone with a free nintendo wii (guaranteed delivery within 28 days) @ £30 a month on a 12 month deal - (total cost £360) - i got £60.00 cashback thru quidco, £65 cashback to come thru dialaphone - sold the motorola krzr on ebay for £73.03 which means the wii has cost me £161.97!!

    And ive got 200 mins and 200sms a month for absolutely zilch! - effectively!

    I got the same deal - but panicked when a colleague (Who took a similar deal the week before me) got en email from dial-a-phone saying they couldnt get any Wiis and they had creditted his account £180 instead.

    I've bought one insted - If they send me anothe rI am sure I will be able to sell it on ebay for RRP.

    Its still a free wii !!

    We've been trying to get one for my nephew's birthday - none online & have tried all the usual places in the city.

    A girl in Game told us that IBM were having problems with their chips & this has been ongoing for some months - hence the shortage.

    We have pre-ordered one in Blockbuster based on the girl telling us they've been told that 20,000 are due in soon - buy couldn;t specify a date.

    Thought it would be better to pre-order & pay & if I'm successful elsewhere get my money back at a later date.

    Can help think that this is sinister attempt to panic folk prior to Xmas though.

    Gutted, i was planning on buying a wii soon, it was only a few weeks ago i remember them being normal stock, i can't be bothered with all this hunting for them competing with people trying to make money on ebay.

    I asked a family member to look in Morrisons for me, don't know about any in Glasgow but Virgin Buchanan st say they're expecting stock mid week.

    If you only need it by christmas shopto could be worth trying, their taking pre-orders so you could give them a call and see how many are in the queue, if it seems a small number you'd have a good chance getting one of them considering they've got 10 weeks to get stock in.
