    I ordered a Wii bundle from Dixons yesterday and another today for my sister. Worked fine. Just get one in your basket and keep it there. Then keep http://www.wii-consoles.co.uk/wii_console_realtime.asp open and wait till it pops up saying ther is stock at Dixons.

    Used Quidco and the 5% off code and my egg card. Bought the £259 bundle so got free delivery (over £250). Charged £246.99 and Quidco tracked at £6.17. Not sure if the Egg 3% will work.

    No if you are going through Quidco you can't go through Egg, has to be one or the other.

    Just ordered one from Amazon for 252.80 euros including p&p. I need to get a power adapter - can anyone confirm whether the plug itself is the normal two-pin slim plug or a big fat adapter? I'm wondering if this would be suitable as an adapter:

    That adapter will be fine.

    You have an option of DHL overnight delivery for 12 euros but the standard delivery is about 6 euros or £4.00 which is remarkable because you will pay much more getting it delivered within UK using Parcelforce. The standard delivery takes about 4 days.

    Console instructions come with multiple languages and English is one of them.

    I emailed Nintendo about stock shortages and the frustration of getting hold of one without paying rip off prices

    Heres the email
    Dear Customer, thank you for your e-mail.
    Nintendo are currently making deliveries bi-weekly into the UK but I do not have any details as to the volumes or store distribution. Try this link - http://www.nindie.com/products.php?category=HWII - to the wholesaler that supplies the independent retailer and search for a local store near you. They may be able to order one for you.

    You may also like to try checking this site http://www.wiigamereviews.co.uk/, as it has up to date information on which stores currently have stock.
    Kind regards,

  • Hi Guys,
    I have been trying to get a wii for my girls xmas pressie for a while now and thought I was going to be able to get one from the Argos in Rotherham but no-one can pick it up for me so if anyone can make use of the reservation number then I will let the person who pm's me first have it.
    It is just for the Rotherham store until close of business today but car trouble :rolleyes: means the journey over the Pennines to get it will be impossible so someone might as well benefit!:T

    I will be in and checking my pm's until just before 3pm.

    I hated going to weddings. All the grandmas would poke me saying "You're next". They stopped when I started doing it to them at funerals :p

    I'd be interested to know if its a UK model supplied with a 3-pin plug.
  • Just to let others know that someone has got the reservation number now so I hope they get their wii!!

    It is from Austria so will have an euro plug. An euro to uk adaptor is a few £s. Warranty is obviously invalid as the consoles modified.
