  • Just a thought re: JL

    They seem to be releasing different 1 game bundles so the URL's are probably changing each time. It's worth refreshing this page

    That will show you if a bundle or console only become available and not just the console only.

    Looks like it was a quiet weekend with no real availibility.
  • Hello, first post, and this has probably already been said, but just in case........

    Placed an order with Littlewoods direct last week, for a wii with wii play , estimated shipping date was 7th december, so i emailed to check this date and had the following reply.

    Thank you for your e-mail about your recent order.

    Sorry - we have made a mistake.

    Once again we are sorry for any disappointment this causes. Mistakes like this are most unusual and at Littlewoods Direct we want you to be completely happy with our service.

    Because it weighs nearly 4kg, is desirable, and is worth a lot of money.

    The only safe and insured way to send it is RM Special Delivery for £20.

    DHL with £250 insurance is about £16...

    I was lucky enough to get a wii bundle off JL. It included Fifa 08 (whicj I didnt want. I took Fifa 08 back to the store on Saturday and got my money back - no questions asked.

    Some of these on Ebay from Germany. Seller has good feedback. He has lots so keep watching as some are going for not more than RRP. In euros so not as dear as might seem. http://search.ebay.ie/_W0QQsassZmatti-electronics

    RTM it says amazon.co.uk. If it was .de it is unlikely that it would be sold in GBP and also work out ( Euros to GNP) at exactly £179

    I think this was from the peculiar and short-lived 'Customer Vote' Amazon page

    There was a post on here a few days ago with a link to ebay germany for 'Buy It Now' Wiis.

    I'd just like to thank the Poster, I bought one over the weekend from Germany. Although the buyer wouldn't accept PayPal, so I had to do it by Transfer, It cost £209 including shipping and the bank fees.

    Incidentally, if anyone wants to go down the same route, www.auctionchex.com will do the transfer very cheaply for you - and (for an extra 3½%) you can pay them with PayPal. They are legit - been around for years and are licenced.
    Life should be a little nuts; otherwise it's just a bunch of Thursdays strung together.
