    !!!!!!? I thought French Wiis were all PAL? Or does this particular Nintendo rep not know what they;re talking about?


    Bit worried now because I got mine from amazon france a few weeks ago and its sitting on top of the cupboard. Better get it down to test !!!!


    You had me worried there. Look on the front of the box..it should say PAl on it.
    We checked the one I bought in Paris before boxing it back up for Christmas - it set up fine and we each bowled a couple of frames with no problem. I connected it via the composite cables on the front and on selecting the right input source got a picture no problems - so rest easy!
  • I caved in ....

    I clicked buy and my order was confirmed, just waiting on my confirmation email

    If I sell the games for a decent price I will have paid about £40 over the odds for the bits I want - not tooo bad

    Plus, who knows if my Marshall Ward one will turn up before christmas .....


    Has your confirmation E mail come through yet? I'm still waiting for mine!!!

    My confirmation email from gamestation took a few days to arrive and the Wii was delivered about 5 days after ordering.

    Nope - still waiting too!
  • Well, thats reassuring, the bank says my payments gone through ok so its just a case of waiting now to see if it turns up. I can"t wait to see my childrens faces on xmas morning now, they"ll be so surprised as I said they couldn"t have one!!!:j

    Mine turned up today from John Lewis, very surprised no dispatch email or nothing but very pleased anyway.

    Good luck everyone else who wants one still
  • I agree, good luck to everybody else too. Why is there always such a shortage of must have toys/games etc at this time of year. Must be because they"re must haves I suppose but it makes life so hard for us parents!!!

  • New on these posts so gently does it!
    Do you think it's worth trawling the local shops or would that be a fruitless exercise in your experience?

  • Wii's seem to be appearing in the shops more often but only in dribs and drabs so got to be worth trying

    Hi, please forgive me if this has already been posted, I've not been following the thread as I personally don't want one!

    Anyway, we've received a catalogue today in the office from Viking Direct which sells Office Technology and they sell the Nitendo Wii Sports Packs there for £149.99. I've had a look on their website and there is nothing on there, so maybe it's a phone offer? 0844 412 0000 if anyone is interested.
