    But where can you buy a wii in the first place? I'd love to find somewhere selling it for a non rip off price, but as soon as anywhere gets any in, they are gone! :((

    Go to www.amazon.de then click on the 'hilfe' button top right, scroll down the page and on the left hand side there's a link to the help in english. This gives comprehensive instructions on how to order. I ordered mine and received it in 2 days, cheaper than anywhere else, with an extra years guarantee. All you need is a two to three pin adaptor (like an electric razor adaptor)
  • Hi If anyone knows where to get the wii console I would be grateful of any advice?? I ordered one from freemans and they took my money from my bank then sent me an email saying delivery would be in 76 days.So I ordered one from studio and they said it would be delivered in 28 days now they say I might not recieve it as they are having trouble with their suppliers,I really dont want to buy off ebay and pay £50.00 or more over the odds

    Question for the uninitiated, do I need to get an SD card for the wii console, have no idea about these things as I usually give up on games after 5 minutes :)
    No you don't, but it has a fabulous picture viewer - so much better than using a PC - and for that alone I'd recommend everyone gets a 2GB card (the max size it will take), which will only cost about £10. (If you have a cameraphone that takes mini- or micro-sd then buy one of those if it comes with an adaptor.) Stuff the card with your holiday snaps (and/or MP3s) and bore your friends to death. Do not get a Wii-branded card - they are exactly the same as any other but you pay more for the label.

    I liked Raving Rabbits , it is designed at children but bits like smaking rabbits over the head with a shovel and pulling worms out of people gums seemed a little much for kids.

    It is a fun game to do though, hopefully they'll like it and not be scared.

    Hi

    I have just got myself a free Wii, my mobile phone contract with virgin was up and the deals that they were offering were pitiful, so i shopped around, i have got an 18month contract (which is fast becoming the norm) £35 a month new samsung G600 plus a free wii. there are different deals around at the moment where you can get the sports games included it just depends on whether you want a specific phone.

    check out onestopphoneshop.co.uk you can also choose from xboxes and ds lites - they have other offers too.

    i should be getting it in the next 5 weeks in time for christmas.

    Got mine from Amazon.de (Germany). Took 5 days to be delivered. No problems at all.


    Amazon.de (Germany) almost always seem to have them in stock for just under 250euro (about £170). Shipping to the UK is 6 euro

    http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B000UVI1G4/ref=s9_asin_title/028-6794505-9190149?pf_rd_m=A3JWKAKR8XB7XF&pf_rd_s=right-1&pf_rd_r=056CR0XTQXPWZD8CCTXC&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=140076591&pf_rd_i=301128



    If your German isn't so good - the website template is identical to the Amazon UK site, so use that for a reference.

    Hope that helps :D
