    thanks for giving me the courage to order from this company.

    £279.99 just for the console though! rip-off merchants.
    helpful tips
    it's spelt d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y
    there - 'in or at that place'
    their - 'owned by them'
    they're - 'they are'
    it's bought not brought (i just bought my chicken a suit from that new shop for £6.34)
  • My thought was to make it a days or a weekend of it and get a cheap flight out to France or Germany and buy a couple straight from the shop IF they do have stock on the shelves. I could then sell one on Ebay and hopdefully cover flight costs with the profit made. I suppose it is just knowing the foreign city and knowing where to go. I could imagine coming back with 20KG worth!!!
  • Nintendo dont wnt to up the production because they fear that if they expand the factories they could loose/waste money in the long run as wii sales are expected to die down. Wether they will or not is another matter.
    Waddle you do eh?

    Save yourself the hassle and buy from Amazon.de. How many given the size and weight(4kg+) could you get back on budget airline with a weight restriction. If however you were to get a cheap ferry and a transit van the possibilities are endless:p
  • Hi all, I know how you are all feeling I too was frantic. Having done extensive searching on the net I came across http://www.instockwii.co.uk/2007/11/04/wii-consoles-in-stock-at-amazon/
    Now it tells you how to get your wii from the German Amazon, please keep in mind that it will need a power adapter which is a simple shaver plug turning 2 prongs to 3 (this does work as I have had a Nintendo DS the same). And for those of you that would like to know exactly what you are reading http://dictionary.reference.com/translate/
    copy and paste the text to here and it translates. It is basially the same as our Amazon just in a different language, and don't worry about the p&p it is only 6 euro the whole thing works to £175.70 which is cheaper than here.

    I have ordered mine and have email confirmation of despatch 12th nov. There are statements on this site of others that have done the same and recieved and tested, so panick no more !!!
    :think: Always thinking!

    Provident - Paid:cool: Electric - Paid:cool: Gas - £304.00, ST Water - 469.19, FW - £294.11, Studio - £395.04, Capital one - £318.69, LW - £561.19, Very - £340.30 Total = £2682.52
    Lincolnshire coop savings - £10.84
    Park 2014 £20 of £400
  • You are right it would be cheaper just to order online but when you need to get away from the wife for a few days and tell her it is for a good idea and the internet will not be invented for another 12 months...............perfect

    Surley the whole point of this exercise and website is about stopping people getting ripped off.

    Now someone has given you the oppertunity to buy cheap WII's in Germany and people on this board are talking about getting more to sell on ebay to make a killing.

    SHAMEFULL!!!! (If it was down to me I would ban you from the site)

    Just think of those kiddies out there who won't be getting a wii because their parents wont be able to pay the hiked up prices.

    :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

    Many thanks to those geniune people out there who want to help you rather than rip you off.
