    I may be totally wrong but it looks like yesasia.com have wii's in stock.. they are the japan version but I'm sure they'll still work ok. I've ordered a ds lite from there and they are able to change the language to english. Hope this helps someone

  • if anyone is looking for one I wouyld seriously suggest ebay - its flooded with them so the people trying to rip others off are not being so lucky and they are going for not much more than the retail price - also dont be fooled by the FIVE GAMES nonsense - what they mean is wii sports has 5 different games on it, its not (normally) 5 different discs (i hate people trying to make money in such an underhand way)if they werent swallowing them up then maybe ordinary folks could get a look in :mad:
    :D I understand ALOT more than I care to let on :D

    £150 are you sure?
    I have bought quite a few from duty free in Amsterdam airport and they cost 230 euros which is currently around £165. She will have paid in euros find out how many euros she paid, she may have got the exchange rate wrong.
    i'm thinking of doing this, how many are you allowed to bring back to UK at one time?

    I only bring 2 in through the airport, so if they ask they are for my children.
    You would also struggle to get more than 2 on the plane (hand luggage)
    I am not 100% sure on how many you are allowed officially to bring in, I have read somewhere else on this thread that they have to be for personal use, so if you drive and have a boot full I am not sure where you would stand if you got stopped. Maybe somebody on here as the definite answer and not just a guess.
