    I just spoke to someone from Gamestation and he said that we can return it to a local store but we'd have to return the whole lot...I will be returning mine (when it arrives) to a store in Aberdeen. If anyone is interested, I will give them a heads up when I return it. (I think there is only one store in Aberdeen.)

    The package was £299 with four games Brain Academy, Super Paper Mario, Metroid Prime Corruption and Mario Party 8. But I'm sure you will be able to choose from others in-store.

    Thanks for that, I've actually managed to persuade my husband to let me keep it (games as well!):j

    Can't post to main thread as I'm posting from my phone and it won't let me grrr

    Just been into the lowry outlet at salford quays and within the center is a little mobile phone shop, ground floor,

    Overheard him say he had plenty in stock, priced at £279. Probably best to call customer service desk at the outlet mall and they will give you the shop numver.

    My JL order is now showing as dispatched! Its one step closer. If it hadnt been for everyone on this forum being so helpful i would probably of given up by now! Cheers to everyone for being so dedicated to everyone else getting what they need.
    :beer:
    Out of all the sites i have searched & F5'd i wouldnt of imagined that JL would of of been the one to come up trumps! Also decent value as well seeing as they have such a high priced image.

    UPDATE -

    Went to Comet just now (actually I went to Currys accidently and got pointed across the road to Comet when she saw my receipt which was a little embarrasing! doh) and I managed to return the two items I didn't want from my bundle ordered online without any questions at all. So if anyone has a Comet bundle and wants to return stuff then go for it :)

    Seems an awful lot of these turning up on ebay now, bubble bursting??

    Not sure, there are a few errors in the listing (It's not made in the UK), the seller has sold DVD's and is not selling 74 lots of Wii's some are 5x lots some are 10x lots all of which makes me feel it's not completly legit. Maybe a hijacked account?

    I think what happening is people want to get the money now rather than risk waiting, there may or may not be more stock coming, if it's on a boat to get here it's a fixed time shipping, they can't just send more as sending it by Air would upset the margins, and they may have very little stock to send anyway. As stock arrived in retailers it's getting snapped up and some is finding its way to ebay. It's a quick £100 if you can get the stock. The idea od buying a 4 game bundle and selling the Wii and keeping the games is attractive to me (If I could ever find one in stock) , I guess you'd get the games for less than the RRP of £40 each in most cases, although most of the packs have games we already have.

    If you got the nerve (and the stock) leaving them till the week before and doing a 1 day auction may well be the best bet, (or the 24th and specify local collection.)
