oh good grief! I hate being the bearer of bad news but when i spoke to amazon yesterday they said they were all out and wouldnt be having any more in until january. I ordered mine on the 18th btw

and to top it all ive just seen this (on another site) that another amazon customer has received :-



Anyone else just get a message similar to this from Amazon?

Absolutely shocking. Was only the other day raving how good Amazon were...what a way to destroy a customers confidence.

I wont use amazon again if I can help it, like I told the man, I have lost 5 days I could of looked elsewhere, tommorrow is the last weekend and theres no way I'll get one now.

hmm, they do have bundles available in an argos near to us but we're in the west midlands. Thats no consolation to you!

Thanks for that. The man from Amazon called me back and said I'm one of the few who havent got the standard email so I should get it the 1st or 2nd week of January.

Tried toys r us but they had none!

Yes I havent seen any local in weeks, and my mum lives in another area so been trying there too.

I want a silver one really so I think I'm asking too much if I'm being choosy about the colour. I have a pink one available that my friend got but its £160 in a bundle of useless games definantely not worth the extra £60! I'd rather wait.

They have the bundles in silver in one of my local stores but the games are not good. Thanks anyway.

It is when they only do bundles and if i buy a bundle you know amazon will suddenly produce them and i'll be peeved!! Luckily its actually for me from hubby so i can live without it, i had pink and after i ordered the silver hubby sold the pink to his mate. At least I've given a child a smile on xmas day I'm old enough to deal with the disappointment.
