    0.01p? No way. That's far too optimistic! You'd have to pay to get rid of it. Blue Peter Disc Drive appeal anyone? Or would that be too mean on them?

    No really it is famous, world renowned, it even has its own Wiki entry, just for the Wii format.

    Reception
    UK magazine n-Revolution rated the game 2.4/10, citing as problems unresponsive Wii controls and a general feeling that the developers were cashing in on the Harry Potter phenomenon by releasing a similarly themed game.

    I'm interested in seeing what their reply is... hopefully they won't just cancel my Wii. You never know they might have a change of heart and offer us all £20 back... unlikely but possible!

    Let us know if they do - we can all get in on the action!![/quote]

    Ditto, annoying if the same deal was only £179.99 a few days ago!

    i don't believe it! I've been at the computer for three days and nights solid and the rare occasions that i leave to eat/bath/see daylight i miss stock!
    I literally checked here and the stock checkers at half twelve then went for a bath and look what's happened in that time! I swore i wouldn't do this - sitting here refreshing waiting to catch one and yet here i am! :(
    Oh well, back to it!

    Wow, really? I started shopping for Wii's only yesterday and have managed to bag 3 so far.

    click on the bottom bundle and then you have to the click the 'buy new' button next to the wii console, the bmx game and any 3 other games. then it will let you buy it.

    maybe they haven't got them in stock then? i managed to add the necessary items to my basket but as i don't want the games or accesories i'm not paying for the bundle - so i haven't tried completing checkout.

    You probably need some games. And an extra remote and nunchuck would be good.

    You can get the remote with Wii Play from Amazon de or someone else posted a link earlier for a UK site where it was £35. Nunchucks you can get from HMV site for £15 delivered.

    As for games... Super Mario Galaxy is the must have game but it's only 1 player and hard to find. If you want a really fun 2 player game for Xmas then I'd recommend Lego Star Wars: Complete Saga (£29.99 from Amazon UK). It's a 2 player co-op puzzle game, quite silly, very fun! There's Sonic & Mario @ Olympics which is alrite, fun for a while.
