This might be a daft question but bearing in mind the availability of the wii on the French and German Amazon sites does anyone know if it is readily available in shops in those countries? We were thinking of doing a day trip to France to stock up on cigs etc before christmas anyway so were wondering if we were likely to be able to pick up a wii whilst there.
Thanks.0 -
Dixons is a bit of a hit and miss I managed to secure one last week and it is being delivered in a couple of days, but I know that they take orders and then say not in stock.
I would keep trying but not depend on them.
You have to wait for the third email (which I recieved) to find out if you are actualy going to get it.
I am still on the look out for more for other family members who want them,so the search goes on.0 -

You really have to be quick and limited to only one per person.
I have a couple of programs running to alert me with sight and sound (had to run upstairs) soon as a change occurs. Some of my wider family have asked me to grab them (at cost price) if I can.0 -

I've not received a third email but I checked my bank account and the 'available balance' has been reduced by the amount. Surely they can't take your money then tell you they won't be sending it? Hopefully I will get the third email. Anyone had any experience of this?0 -

80GB hard drive
Boasting an 80GB hard drive, the Archos 705 is perfect for film buffs, music fans and photo enthusiasts alike. You can record an impressive 100 films, 40,000 songs or 800,000 photos onto one compact and portable device. Transfer and organise your tunes, videos and snaps from your PC, TV or digital camera onto the multimedia player easily with a built-in USB connection, then listen to music or watch video and photo slideshows on the train, in the car, walking to work - wherever you choose!
The freedom of Wi-Fi
Enjoy internet access wherever you are with the Archos 705's built-in Wi-Fi connection and Opera web browser plug-in. Not only can you email and surf the net, with the Archos Content Portal you can download your favourite films, TV shows and music - all you need is a Wi-Fi hotspot and you're good to go!
Internet streaming
With the arrival of TV websites that allow you to catch up on missed episodes of your favourite show, web streaming is becoming more popular than ever. The 705 enables you to stream straight from multimedia - stored on your computer or directly from the internet - to the screen on the unit, or even to your TV through the Gen5 docking station included in this package.
Record your favourite TV
Recording TV programmes onto the Archos 705 is incredibly quick and easy. Simply connect via the docking station, pick your programmes from the onscreen programme guide and record in near DVD-quality MPEG-4 format. You can then enjoy your recordings on your travels, or play them back on your TV screen.
7" widescreen
Photos are life-like, films dynamic and images big and bold thanks to the media centre's high 800 x 480 pixel resolution and crystal-clear 7" TFT widescreen. It also has an easy-to-use touchscreen interface that the whole family can use - perfect at get-togethers when you want to share photos or video clips.
Battery life
Planning a long journey? You won't have to worry about the battery running out halfway through your favourite album or crucial drama cliff hanger - the 705 has a rechargeable lithium ion battery that will give you up to 25 hours of music or 5 and half hours of video playback.
