  • i would be surprised if anyone who ordered from tesco the last couple of days actually gets one,i phoned up to complain my order got canceeled after 2 months as they said the couldnt get any more befor xmas yet were selling them a week later,lady at customer services told me they havent had any consoles at tescos for allmost 2 months and any sold on the website were probably in error,for a big company tesco online is an absoloute joke,good luck to anyone who did order and gets one,please let us know if you get one or not and good luck.

    Funny this is what CS told me, then she called HO who informed her yes they did have stock and yes we (the people who ordered in the last couple of days) will get one.

    So I think CS have the usual script infront of them ready to say to whoever calls asking for one. We shall see, I am fingers crossed picking mine up either today or tomorrow.

  • Hi
    I know nothing about wii's but my friend is looking for one with the sports thing and game so he can play the golf game, hope this makes sense.
    On Argos it looks like they are 179.99 but out of stock, anyone any ideas where there may be stock.

    Thanks
    Jules

  • I would like to make it my daughter's best Christmas too!
    Does anyone know where i could get a wii without being ripped off?
    I have been trying for 3 months now, and it's the one thing that they really want.
    I'm sooo worried:confused:

    You could always sell the games on ebay/amazon if you didnt want one. Not the best games bundle here but not too bad a price to be honest.

    I've just ordered the one from Argos. I had to keep trying as a couple of times, it said it was out of stock but the stock checker was still showing stock.
  • Hello, just thought I'd share my experience with you: -

    I used the http://www.wii-consoles.co.uk site and checked the Real Time wii locator page, i did see many wii's being sold for over £300, and that was just the console on its own.

    After a day or two I noticed an offer from www.game.co.uk which included the following: -

    Console
    wii sports
    controller + nunchuck
    Zelda
    Mario Galaxy
    Paper Mario
    Big Brain Academy
    Golden Compass

    This was a bundle for £330, after working on an average price of 180 for console & £35 per game I saved: - £25

    This was ordered and I haven an e:mail saying its been shipped.

    Next I went to www.pcworld.co.uk and purchased 3 x nunchucks at £12.99, I saved around £8 on each of these as they retail for around £20 in most shops in Bristol.

    Finally I obviously needed the controllers, they retail here between £35 & £40. Here I used eBay. I managed to purchase 3 x wii Controllers from 1busyman This person has an online shop: - http://stores.ebay.co.uk/1Busymans-Budget-Video-Games which sold the controllers for £17.99 ($35.99) Now, including shipping this came to around £77 which means I saved £28 if I bought from retail stores here.

    All this will be shipped before Christmas!

    Total saving = £61

    UK Console
    4 x controller + nunchuck
    wii sports
    Zelda
    Mario Galaxy
    Paper Mario
    Big Brain Academy
    Golden Compass

    Note: Don't buy games from America as they will not work on European wii's
