I apologise if someone else has posted similar!! Not an expert on posting1
I've been searching everywhere for a nintendo wii and they seem to be out of stock everywhere except on ebay or amazon where sellers are looking for £300+ for them. I ordered one of Amazon, Germany's site for 256.36 euro which is about £175 and that includes p&p! Site is almost identical to UK site except for german lingo but either scroll down to bottom of homepage until you find the link 'Hilfe' then on that page scroll down looking at left hand pane until you come to part for english speakers then everything is explained or you could use online translator.
Going by testimonials delivery is roughly 4 days to UK! So waiting on mine!!:jSmile and the whole world smiles with you, laugh and they'll think your on drugs!
Pigsback: £11.92 (claimed £50 vouchers); Quidco: £143.89; Home of Research: £3.50 (£20 claimed); YouGov: £19.50; Valued Opinions: £5.50 (£10 claimed) Toluna: 29,210 pts (120.000 claimed) Ipoints: 2092 pts and loose change elsewhere!0 -

Sorry didn't see this thread so I posted another one earlier.
Don't pay inflated prices! Amazon Germany site has loads in stock. Ordered one for myself at 256.36 euros about £176 according to other customers delivery is about 4-5 days. Price above includes p&p. Its the euro model only difference is that it has 2 pin rather than 3 pin plug so buy an adaptor or if your an electrical whizz change the plug.
Site is almost identical to amazon.co.uk put in nintendo wii in search box. Order 'buttons' are same. If you have amazon.uk account it is recognised on german site, which makes it easier. For those like myself who are not fluent in German scroll down to very bottom of home page and click on the link 'hilfe' then scroll down left hand pane of that page where you'll see help for english customers. Or use an online translator!!:jSmile and the whole world smiles with you, laugh and they'll think your on drugs!

As has already been stated by some, get them from Amazon.de, at current rates it works in around £175 (i've just been online to look at my bank statement and it was just over this, Wii is being delivered tomorrow)what I wouldn't do though is cut of the Euro plug just in case Nintendo have a problem on the warranty with it, I would and I am going to purchase one of these from Maplins http://www.maplin.co.uk/Search.aspx?criteria=euro%20adaptor&source=15&SD=Y0

1. Click the link above.

3. On the next page, click on the button "Zur kasse gehen" (proceed to checkout)
4. On the next page, log-in with the same log-in/password from amazon.co.uk (select "Ich bin bereits Kunde und mein Passwort ist:" and click on "Weiter")
5. From the address book, select your address by clicking on "An diese Adresse versenden" (send to this address)

7. Last page: you don't need to change anything here, just review the order and click on "Bestellung abschicken" (confirm order). There is only 1 delivery method available on this page, so you don't need to change anything. Delivery cost is 6 EUR for most EU countries, including the UK.
8. Sit down and relax, it should take about 2 weeks for your item to arrive.

Has anyone had any problems with DHL. I finally ordered a Wii last week with Dixons. It has been on it's way with DHL since last week. From northamptonshire to manchester to hatfield to leeds to keighley, sent back apparently addressed wrongly, back to keighley then manchester, now at leeds service centre!!! my fingers are down to the knuckle wondering whether it will turn up....i've tried emailing but haven't received a reply...
Anyone else had problems???0 -
Cheers Keeno,
