    with regard to Virgin, I too can see cancellations as I ordered Wii play from virgin as it was the cheapest, it was showing as in stock.

    But now when I log in it says back ordered 4 weeks!

    Me thinks they have been selling Wiis they dont have

    Where does it say that, under "status"?

    Mine still says order placed at the moment.

    it just says "back ordered", I phoned and they told me its likely to be 4 weeks.Im now actively looking elsewhere for one.

    Incidentally jut checked their Wii page and it has the tabs for Wii like Software, Accesories,Hardware etc.

    When you hover the mouse over each one the cursor changes into a hand to show it will let you click it but if you put cursor on the Hardware tab it wont let you click to look at Hardware!

    So now it seems they are not even letting people look at the Wii consoles page! unless its just me

    If they have been showing as in stock all weekend then I wouldnt want to guess how many orders have been placed
  • caleo what time of the day did you order?JUst phoned Virgin - recorded message error on ordering nintendo wii they will not be honouring them, well that is 4 ordered from differnt sources 1 still on order - what a cr*p success rate, lets hope Dixons come through!
    I am getting so fed up of this, does anyone else think that this is either an artificial shortage or a shortage because people are buying so many to flog on ebay as it seems the only place to get one.

    Do you know I might just give up and buy a ps3 or xbox they'll still be chuffed
  • in stock at dixons supposedly
