Anybody looking for Wii Play should check out ebay.
As Amazon sold 1000 this morning I think some people will be lucky and get them for retail price or even less delivered,as they flood ebay;)

They restocked part way with hundreds more and have sold at least 1400 plus some dribbles of between 15&2 right up to 20 minutes ago. I guess those are possibly order cancellations.

Actually the correct UK spelling is despatch it is in fact dispatch that is the americanisation all be it long in the past. Either are both acceptable and equally used.

I must admit to always spelling it as despatch. I always use a z instead of an s too..recognize etc. I am very old & in my day..ha ha....words were only spelled with a z...it's the s that has now crept into general use.

Now scuttles off & tries to avoid more off topic posts.
