    Currently in stock ~ Nintendo Wii Console, Accessory Pack & 3 Games for £269.93 + p&p. Item number 568/8001.

    I got well hope to have got one of these, about an hour ago before checking on here. It shows out of stock on the website but if you put it in your basket, on the realtime checker posted by another MSE'r (thank you by the way) it say's it's still available for delivery in certain areas, so I chanced my luck. Hey presto, all going well I should have my 3rd Wii (none for me I hasten to add), delivered on Wednesday. (Fingers crossed)

    This one is for my neighbours sister and the good thing is it's not at an extortionate price. I actually reckon you save about £50 on this bundle compared to separate prices.

    Thanks also to the person who posted the reviews on the games (I now want Winter Sports for mine :o).

    hi all, new poster here!

    what could i be doing wrong on amazon...i have been there on the £179/£199 offers and logged in with 1-click activated but on the 4-5 times i have been at that point i just cannot seem to buy one! i keep getting "item not available" error. i press back and try and try again but to no avail! i have tried with IE and Mozilla browsers but no joy! is there something else i should be doing?

    thanks for any info!

    OK here's the way to resolve your problem STOP USING ONE CLICK, go to amazon and view your basket, if you have had a wii and got it into your basket without buying it will be in your "saved items" keep this page open, when you get a strike on the checker, switch pages and keep clicking on add to basket, when it goes into your basket {it could take a while} then hit the normal buy button and follow the process, you should find you will be the proud owner of a new wii.

    Well thats ok. I'd probably pick up lots of games from abroad. I've seen a couple of NTSC bundles on ebay. For example there's a bundle with 60 games (ho ho) going for £500.
