    Right just tried Argos CS - 0870 600 8784

    Keep trying to see if they have stock. Catalogue Number is 568/3257

    Don't bother checking their web site as they are not updating their site. Its warehouse stock only now so you have to call to place an order and only taking orders when stock is in. Hope this helps and hey its 1 less site to check every 60 seconds!!!

    This is not entirely true my web reservation from yesterday in my area following Wellers' leeds tip off came good I've just picked it up :beer:
  • Well it says "processing" so ive cancelled the dixons one...although apparently the money might still come out for the dixons one before going back in :S So slightly worried. xx

    [quote=[Deleted User];6864410]Great !!! Another one who takes your credit card details when they've no stock !!!!

    Although my order is listed as WAITING FOR DESPATCH and the web site is showing them as in stock ???[/quote]

    Just phoned Viking Direct and apparently they are expecting a delivery on the 17th December direct from the manufacturer. i asked if this was definate and she says as they have a date it it does.
  • Dont even try to bother price matching with Dixsons. We do it in store all the time, but dont try and do it for a wii. The item has to be instock and ready for dispatch, delivery charges must be added onto the price, and it has to be from a shop within 7 Miles of your house or one of these websites:


    items sold by Amazon.co.uk, Argos, Asda, B&Q, Comet, Dabs, Dell, Evesham Technology, Game, Gamestation, Halfords, HMV, Jessops, John Lewis, Maplin, Misco, Play, Staples, Tesco, Toys r Us, Virgin, Woolworths


    And, the chances of finding a package with the exact same things in the deal, from a place that has it in stock from somewhere that is cheaper, is a very very slim to none chance.

    Also, about the staff situation. Yes, I want to get one from my PCW store, however, whether I will be able to or not is another matter. The managers/head office sometimes put a ban on staff buying things which are very hard to come by, such as wiis.

    I will let you all know when get some in store, but it could be anyones guess when we actually do.
  • My Neighbour is over in Egypt just now on holiday, what are the chances of her getting one at the airport and it working in the UK

    No, unfortunately Tesco aren't going to have any stock. They cancelled most people's orders so it would be best not to rely on them esp for xmas..

    if anyone is still hoping for a £175 package, i would deffo recommend the John Lewis site....even though they are out of stock, they are very regular in recieving stock...

    good luck!!
    my tescos had six delivered friday unfortunately they were swallowed up by staff

    Ive also decided that I wont be taking staff discount on it either. Although its only £20 or so, I dont think its fair that I should, as they are in such small demand. If im not allowed to buy one I will just give one or my friends or relatives a call and tell them to come over and just buy one as a normal customer (its for one of my friends xmas present).

    We will probably get a notification in the daily brief soon once we get some stock allocated so we will know we are getting some in the following day, so if we do I will post here, so you all know a day in advance :).

    It appears that you can only buy one from JohnLewis at the minute, I tried to purchase a second once the first had been delivered and it has just been cancelled.

    Thought it was just restricted to one order at a time but obviously not.
