All done now, does anybody know of any games that are quite simple - eg for a 8 year old boy with co-ordination problems? I bought the Wii with the sports pack as thought that might help him but dont know of any others???

not sure what the game will be like but its a simple swim around the ocean type , doing nothing in particular just taking photos of fish etc, not to much in the challenging department and at 20 quid at game its worth a shot maybe cheaper else where http://www.game.co.uk/search.aspx?platform=11369&s=ocean

ive had wii play for 3 weeks now, and im not to impressed with it , think the money would be better spent on a good game. eg. mario galaxy or mario sonic olympics which are both due out in a week or so. but then again if a child wants play then play it must be. but for those people who are just getting it off there own thoughts think again.

The majority of people buy Wii Play for the remote & 9 games for £35 compared to £30 just for a new remote.

The games are not the best technically or graphic wise but they let you get used to the controllors in an easy way before going on to harder games.

Whereas we love wii play my family sit round in teams and play against each other all the time we even have wii parties and get friends over!

yeah i agree to a point , but only air hockey , clay shoot , maybe cow racing is any good, big brain academy, wario smooth moves, monkey ball, or mario party 8 are all as good for multiplayer fun , without going insane tryin to find wii play , or paying over the odds.

I've just had a look here

http://www.europlug.com/converters.htm

& can't seem to make head nor tail of the different ones. Which model(s) would work on the German wii?

The ECP and CP1 would do the job.

...and a discussion on the credibility of a poster and a company he recommends buying a wii from is off-topic how exactly?

I didn't say that discussing the credibility of a poster was off-topic - I suggest you read what I actually posted. You will see I'm a newbie, so I'm obviously here to be shot down in flames. I'm just saying I got my Wii from Komplett. If anyone else orders one, they will get one too. If you want to argue about it, go ahead, but you're dismissing a potential supplier out-of-hand for no just reason - have you been ripped off by them? Do you know anyone who has? If you do a Google search, are there people clamouring to see Komplett.co.uk closed down for terrible service and non-delivery of items?

I don't see too many people jumping on another poster who says you can buy a German import from Eclipse Computers, and they completely cocked up a £900 order I placed with them back in 2000.

What is off-topic really is the origin of the company (www.komplett.co.uk) - who cares if they're owned by Dutch, Norwegians or whoever. Is amazon.de a British website? Believe me, if I'd been ripped off, I'd tell anyone who cares to listen. My wife was scammed for over £400 on ebid by a seller who had stolen the details of a genuine seller on the site, and had to claim it back through her credit card company. So I certainly wouldn't post links to a site where people's money would disappear into an abyss.

...and it costs at least £20 more. The clue is in the name moneySAVINGexpert.

See above re. Eclipse Computers - they're charging more than amazon.de, why don't you jump on that poster? In addition, Euro Wii's are going for around £250+ on ebay. Is paying £207 incl. postage & adapter going to save people money in time for Xmas when they're paying much more elsewhere? If people can order a Wii more cheaply from another supplier, I'd encourage them to do so. Komplett might have them in stock when other suppliers don't, so it's another option.

By the way, the Europlug that comes from Komplett is the CP1 - a neat solution.

Amzon have got them in stock £299

I know it's a bit expensive but ill keep on looking for you guys

I've already got a wii and it's really good so I'm searching all the shops online
for Wii's for all of you who need one

the tracking number frm the amazon.de site only works if you track the parcel on the dhl.de site - this told me that there was an attempted delivery yesterday which I am told today was not the case as it is out today for first attempt. They deliver up til 8:30pm

once parcel arrives in UK it gets given another 12 digit reference which you can only get (it seems after going through a few phone calls to DHL UK in going circles) if you ring DHL Germany - if you wish call 0049 180 5345 2255 but options menu in German.

If you call DHL in UK the amazon 12 dig ref is of no use to them to track.

Those are being sold from the Amazon marketplace and not by Amazon themselves.

Marketplace is just where people who have one try and flog theirs, new or used.
