    I've managed to get 4 wii's for friends and family thanks to the stock updates being mentioned in this thread.

    I've been told I don't need to buy any pints for the forseable future lol.

    Incidentally none of the orders were from German Amazon, got 2 from UK Amazon and 2 from Play.com when stock was mentioned. Play order was delivered the next day (less than 24 hrs) and amazon was over the weekend and turned up yesterday.

    Thanks to all.

    Good luck to everyone who is still looking.

    ANDYROO, its not a whiney little comment at all and your "rant" (dont want to quote it or god forbid people will have even more to read) was spot on.
    We have not had one constructive comment from anybody as to why you SHOULD NOT buy from Amazon.de. If anybody out there who is "desperate" , "panicking" , "little johnny will be so upset" etc etc would like to post a reason as to NOT to buy from amazon.de then I would love to hear it.
    This thread should now be full of comments from people happy at being able to have found a WII, which is what this whole thread was started for.

    Of course it was as is yours.

    My point was missed. But then hey you're too busy whinging ;)

    Back to the Wiis
    Nice to save.

    What? It's more daunting reading through a few back posts than constantly trawling the web or phoning round searching for non existant wii's from Argos or Toys-r-us or Tesco or 'god forbid' ebay???

    No, asking the same question over and over again is far worse because it gets the people who are trying to help incredibly frustrated and stops them from wanting to help in the future.

    P.S. Whiney little comments about whiney little comments are probably about as low as you can get.


    Trawling the web ?? what a load of rubbish most people just use the two sites that automatically show you where they are in stock. Besides I made no mention of that more what I said was if someone wants to ask questions about amazon.de then either reply to them or shut up and stop complaining is all and fairly simple really. this threaed is about Wiis not you moaning about nothing.

    Oh and you are so clever with your little comment at the end, bet mummy and daddy are so proud of you.

    take a bow.

  • Yes but as i said you need to check stock, i didnt just willy nilly post this, i waited till the source ordered theirs and had order confirmed. I've had mine confirmed and when i ordered it in my basket it said 'in-stock'.

    Here's the link again:

    First time orders get 10% off, so i got a wii, zelda and raving rabbids for £253 inc P&P, Had email confirmation of my order, it also said instock when i added it to the basket.:T

    Nice spot, but it does mention on the page

    "Unfortunately due a global shortage of Nintendo Wii's it is unlikey that we will be able to fulfil any new orders in time for Christmas. Due to this inconvenience, we have now reduced our Wii consoles bundles by £15"

    might be worth phoning them just to confirm yours is in stiock.

  • Scrap my post, just phoned them to check my order. What a con! He said their in stock status means 'They're available to order' but the manufacturer has given them a delivery date of Macr 20th 2008!! So i said t the guy at CS, that the item obviously wasn't in stock as the web site claimed. He said well it's available to order. So i advised him their website should show as pre-order NOT instock.!!! Idiots!!

    I ordered my wii last Thursday night from amazon.de (Germany) and five minutes ago it arrived. Blimey.

    £180 no bs, piece of cake, back of the net etc.

    I'm kicking myself I didn't order another Wii remote and Nunchuk as well.
  • We ordered from amazon.de monday morning, said it was in stock. The price was as expected But ever since ordering it's said this:

    Noch nicht versandte Artikel:
    arrow_subordinate._V46693819_.gif Lieferung voraussichtlich: 28. November 2007 - 20. Dez. 2007
    • 1 Exemplar(e) von: Wii Play (mit Wii Remote)
      Verkauft von: Amazon EU S.a.r.L.
    • 1 Exemplar(e) von: Nintendo Wii Konsole - Wii Sports Bundle white
      Verkauft von: Amazon EU S.a.r.L.
    Not sure if that's because we ordered the Wii Play as well. It did say that items would be sent separately so maybe the Wii console will be on its way sooner. We don't really want to call customer services in Germany so have emailed to ask what is happening. I don't know if it's worth cancelling it and ordering again or trying to change the order but am a bit concerned it won't be here before December in time for the birthday.
