    Ive just bought one from www.premoddedconsole.com It was #197 plus delivery and it has been chipped so can play any region game in so can buy japanese and usa games and they are much cheaper. Also plays copy games. Has 3 month guarantee also.
    Of course I will only play copies of my own original games if i lost or broke one as i realise it would be illegal to download them from the net and put them on dvd myself

    have found a few reviews about the website and they are all good.
  • Game possibly have them in

    I checked this link yesterday and this morning and it said "Sorry, temporarily unavailable." I've not long looked at it again and it says "Available for Immediate Despatch" so I placed an order.

    Just checked the status of my order and it says "Your credit/ debit card has been authorised and your order is now being released for packing."

    Just phoned them up just to confirm and the girl at the other end of the phone said they wouldn't let me order unless they had them in stock to send them out.

    Package is probably a bit dearer than some places but tbh I would be wanting to get extra controllers and stuff and it saves me hunting all over the place :cool:

    fingers crossed

    Hi folks, I work in Holland and there is plenty available over here so I bought one without checking first if there were any compatibility issues, well there were.You need a 2 pin to 3 pin plug adapter, about £1.99, big deal!!
    Anyway I also found a way that all you people can get Euro Wii's as well. Check this link out for all the info.
    I hope you all manage to get one.

  • Thanks for that just ordered mine.

    Wish I had known about the £5 discount but as long as I get one I'm not bothered.

    Ive also ordered via quidco but just noticed that they dont give cashback on console sales.

    Yeah, as you I didn't bother with the £5 code, just wanted to buy before they all go.

    Codes for Play.com can be found here http://www.vouchercodes.com/voucherpages/play.htm , haven't tried any of them though.

    Hopefully they are really in stock and will be sent soon.
