    to confirm argos staff are reserving the few they get in for themselves and friends and family.....

    My friend has a friend that works in Argos and has got her one....

    Pleased she got one, but think this is well out of order, glad Im not trying to find one.....

    Yep. A friend of mine said they got one from Argos. When I asked how come he said he knew a friend of a friend who worked at one in Nottingham!!!!
  • hi, just had some info from someone who manages a sainsburys local, that all sainsburys supermarkets nationwide will each receive 3 (yes just three) wiis on monday.

    this is the supermarkets only not the smaller convienience stores. the email thats been sent out to managers says all wii's must go straight to the shop floor for display with no reservations for staff or customers. (not sure how they will enforce this). but may be worth an ask if you know anyone working at sainsburys or if your in sainsburys on monday anyway.

    also my local asda are expecting delivery on wednesday and virgin on friday, dont know if this is all stores but again if your in th local store it might be worth finding out.

    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.

    I drove with a boot full and got stopped but said they were gifts. Quite how I managed to pass them off as gifts I will never know but I think the fact that I had a laugh with the customs guy helped.

    If anyone wants to know more feel free to PM me because I am not going to post how many I have as it will just annoy people on here.

    Cheers,

    Chris

    Sorry, is that Wednesday and Friday this week, or next week please?
  • 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:

    they still going for £250+ console only on ebay

    I work in Holland and you will have no trouble getting one here.
    Bart Smit is a very big toy store and they have plenty, they also have Dixons over here and they are in stock as well and I stay in a small town so Rotterdam will have them in abundance!!

    Thank you very much
