    after several attempts at Dixons.

    My confirmation email has come thru, but I do note that it says in that email
    " Subject to availability,
    the order will be delivered to ..."

    When you order, it says that you will receive an email confirming receipt of your order, then one when they start to process your order, and an email confirming ACCEPTANCE OF YOUR ORDER, as they despatch.

    So I'm not assuming I've actually bought a Wii until I get that third email.


    I try not to get too stressed out on the forum. I won't argue, i'll just leave a thread if you don't like what I say. :)

    Just to add about Dixons, I ordered a Wii on Wednesday and had an email today saying it has been dispatched and included a DHL tracking number, so fingers crossed there is actually one on its way!

    I had ordered on Tuesday and when I called this morning, they had no stock. :(

    I had to try several times until I got to the end of the ordering system and it let me complete, as it says on-and-off that they're out of stock, then in stock.

    Yesterday GAME had some (couldn't order as my computer at work doesn't let me do things like that), but I suspect if you watch the wii-consoles websites whenever you can, someone will get stock each day, and eventually you might get one.

    I'm really cross about the people who are buying them just to resell at a HUGE premium on ebay or Amazon marketplace tho'

    Just received this email thought i would share:

    From: list_updates@wii-consoles.co.uk

    Subject: Wii in stock Alert


    Wii in stock at Dixons
    Dixons have been releasing Wii stock in small batches today. We've been informed that they they have around 400 units in stock at the moment, which is not many when you consider the huge demand.

    Kind regards,
