    After loosing out on the Wilko one yesterday, I have had a mega day today to make up for it. Starting to run out of friends and family to pass them on to, but starting to hear the distant cry of the dark side.

    Mega day? Where? Dixons/Gamestation?

    I haven't noticed Sainsburys mentioned on the thread (apologies if I missed it).

    My local store had a few delivered, they only got 3/4 last week but better than none! And they still sell at £179.99. I think they have a waiting list.

    Might be worth a shot checking your local stores?

    Thanks to the person who posted the gamestatiion link. I order the Wii, papermario, mario party, BB academy, trauma centre for £299.99 but after pressing the "confirm" button the website crashed....ARRGH!

    So i phoned gamestation and was kept on hold for what seemed an eternity, then told to call back about 30 minutes later to give their system a chance to catch up with the web orders placed. So i just called back as instructed and the friendly woman was confident my order would not have been successful, but was then surprised to see that it has been placed and was being batched up! Wahey!

    She then asked how i knew about the fact that they had them on offer, as they show as out of stock if you simply go to gamestation.co.uk, and i mentioned this website and she said that the link that goes directly to the bundles on offer was only valid for those who had registered a few weeks back! So i told her cheekily that "yeah,of course i did that too" ...she saw through my lies but, hey-ho!
