    I have a reservation code for the Argos Fareham Titchfield store.
    This was found by my site. http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?p=6883077#post6883077

    If its any use to someone (who can be vouched for) I can pass it on.
    If not it expires by close of play tonight.

    Edit : This is for the basic console for 179 (or whatever)/

    Cheers

    It's a money saving website, pretty much cost, is'nt at cost.

    If you are trying to help people, do it for free. I have managed to get 6 wii's so far, all for friends and family, all charged exactly what I paid, no more.

    I have posted some and delivered some all at my own expense.

    Personally, if you still need a Wii, just keep reading this thread and keep refreshing the retailers websites, its as easy way as any and you can save the £7 to put towards a game.
    If it were as easy as that, people wouldn't be buying them on eBay for £300, or from rip off retailers for the same amount and more.

    Despite drowning in the cynicism of this forum, I genuinely wish everyone luck in finding their Wii console for Xmas.

    dirtyvegas that's exactly the point - I got my Wii from Amazon Germany before it was blocked.

    It's a shame you think this is spam. Maybe try reading through the 750+ comments on the site and see how much help I have tried to give people, more often than not for no gain at all. The other guy involved in this has done the same, on that site and others including the Amazon forum.

    The £7 is to cover costs and pay a small wage to the people who will be taking 3 days out of their lives to try to obtain these consoles (I am not one of them).

    It's a shame in this day and age that a genuine offer of help gets labelled as spam so quickly. We are genuine people with a genuine interest in helping people - if you think it is spam then fair enough - probably nothing I can do to change that view.

    That is exactly what people are doing on here - for £179.99 (Nintendo's RRP)

    People are doing that as no matter how popular this website/forum is, not everyone knows about it.

    Not everyone knows about the stock checker websites.

    They see them sold out and they see them on ebay so they buy.

    Stock is becoming more and more available so it is getting easier to find a Wii @ rrp.

    If you were doing the service for free, you would really be helping people and I would have no problem with that, but as you are charging a fee which is not in the christmas spirit and your helping people to help you.

    as we have seen over the last week, there is more stock becoming available Game. argos, John Lewis and others are starting to show regular supplies, even if limited , which was not the case over the last 2 weeks, rumours still maintain that a LARGE shipment will be available form the start of December

    please don't pay over the odds for one in panic

    Did you order Free Standard Delivery or the Next Day one?

    Standard delivery, it's their default delivery and in my rush I didn't look at the options! :rolleyes:
    :heart: Ageing is a privilege not everyone gets.

    I wouldn't worry, standard delivery actually beat my next day one(which ended up taking 3!)

    hope it reaches you soon
