Have just ordered my Wii from Amazon.de,(delivery for 22nd Nov) with grateful thanks to all those of you who've posted helpful info on these forums - thank you!
My question now is what accessories do I need so that my 2 kids can play until their heart's content on Xmas day?

You need an extra remote & if they want to paly games like boxing you'll need another nunchuck

Cheapest place for nuchuck is dvd.co.uk its £12.99 & instock
Whilst cheapest place for wii remote is virginmegastore its £25 but not instock and although says will take 2 weeks its lworth mentioning virgin can be unreliable with their delivery times! But the next cheapest dvd.co.uk also has a 2 week lead time?

Wii play is also a good game and retails at £30-40 and you do get a wii remote with it but its been out of stock everywhere for the last month and thats not likely to change before christmas

Piggy-pack

Still haven't got one and needing one in the west sussex area

Hi, my aunt was saying something about the american walmart is our asda and if you order through them they deliver free to your local store for collection within 7 days, she did this. The Nunchuck controller is $19.82 which converts to £9.47 so worth a look. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5272698

They had loads of Wii's in "City of Europe" shopping mall type place just off the Eurotunnel about 2 weeks ago.

Hmmm, not sure this would work. The T&Cs on the site say:-

"Please Note: Site to Store is not available for stores in Alaska, Hawaii or outside the U.S."

I know whitefiver I just checked there and with my aunt she said she hadn't done it but thought it possible. But she did say it might be worthasking at asda to see if they can get it in x

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 !!!

Glad you found the guide useful!

Buy him a beer at £4 lol.

I gave the exact same info last week for free.

Feel free to buy me a beer though .

£1 will suffice ill get a beer from Asda not Harrods

Haha you make it sound like I am charging people £4 for the information. Nothing of the kind, I simply offered it as an option for people who wanted to show their thanks. It was actually someone who placed an order who suggested that I should create an Amazon Wishlist or something similar, so I did this instead. If I were relying on people to pay for the information I'd be sorely dissapointed (considering thousands of people have used the guide, I had 3 donations I think). However you don't see me taking the site down - I love reading everyone's comments each day.

I added a few advertisements in recent days but they also make negligable amounts.


Anyway, enough of the sour grapes - go to Amazon Germany, buy your Wii - use my guide or markybhoy's - I don't care - just do it
