This is the 299 bundle. Are these games any good?

Not especially.

A good site I use to check games out if I'm not sure about them is gamespot - they have detailed reviews of everything.

Hope this helps!

i can assure you, (phone the head offices yourself to get proof!) woolworths, argos, game etc, ALL have the wii's in their warehouses. they have been told they are NOT to release them until 1st week in december. this also goes for toys r us and other major retailers.

Sorry but this is BULL. Told not to release them? So how come Dixons and Amazon are releasing them? Do you really think Nintendo have the power to tell the likes of DSG International not to sell until the first week in Dec?:rotfl:

wudzy

Why would retailers hold back there stock till december when they can quite easily sell them now before there competetors get them on the shelves.
surely they dont want to be left with loads of stock after xmas when no one needs any cos they've bought from europe or elsewhere!

also why is the toys r us add in the paper advertising the console at £179 when there shops are only selling them in bundles starting at £250

By my calculation, if its a 45ft container then it'll hold approx 3000 cubic ft, one wii console takes up approx 0.5 ft so thats 6000 per container.....

12,000 in total! That should keep a few kids happy for christmas!!

12,000 isn't that many... do a search on ebay and see how many sold in the past two weeks:eek:

Can I ask how people know who's getting what please? Is there somewhere that it's posted? Hubby would love one, but not holding his breath - it'd be SO cool to surprise him!

Gloucester store is also getting a delivery, not sure as to how many but again store opens at 9am with tickets given to those queing 1st come 1 served basis so you can go sit in the car prior to store opening.

Didn't see the Sun ad but I only want to buy the console/sports not cack games to boot!!!! Option is to sell on games I know but can't be bothered, loosing the will to shop now!
