Toys R Us and various Asda stores (Nottingham area) had plenty of stock of Nunchuks at £14.99 less than a week ago.

As for wiimotes, you'll have to play the same games as for Wii's, just keep checking on Amazon and Play (£29.99 ea), and possibly others though with less consistant pricing.

The company I work for use Powerplaydirect as their electrical supplier. I've spoken with them today and they advised unlikely to have any more wii play's (£29.99 + free delivery) until January

theres rather a lot of posts to go through them all... but i've had a thought this evening. Amazon are dong that pick one of three consoles for a deal thing... now as i see it the ps3 is going to win (currently has 47% of the vote)... but i'm guessing amazon has put 250 wii's aside just in case.
By my reckoning that means 250 will become available and may be put into stock sometime after midnight... This is only a supposition... but it seems logical to me... so get f5 ing after 12.:rolleyes:

Straight off Nintendos site:-




If you are experiencing a problem with your Wii console we DO NOT recommend you return it to the store. Here's why:

Wii has two types of data that are tied to your specific Wii console:

• The internal Wii System Memory stores your photos, game save data, messages, address book, etc.
• The Wii Shop Channel Account is tied to your specific hardware which contains the licences for your downloaded games, and your account transaction history.

None of this information can be recovered if you return your Wii to the store, and Wii Shop Channel transactions are non-transferable and non-refundable. Returning your Wii console to the store without formatting your Wii System Memory or Wii Shop Account account could allow others to see information (e.g., photos, messages, address book) that is tied to your Wii console.

If you are experiencing problems with your Wii, please visit our Online Troubleshooting or call 0870 6060 247. If troubleshooting doesn't resolve your problem, Nintendo has fast and convenient repair options avalable.

If none of this applies to you and you still choose to return your Wii to the store, please refer to the Wii manual for more information on how to Format Wii System Memory.

Alternatively they could reserve these for another competition perhaps but not unsound reasoning I would say.

I'm afraid they weren't I did check they were collect at store only and as usual none in stock between here and the moon.

my understanding of the competition is that the vote winning item will be offered to 250 randomly selected customers who voted for it at the 75% discounted price.

The other two items will be offered to 250 'runner up' customers (per item) who voted for it at 25% discount. So basically all 750 items will be offered to customers at a discounted price tomorrow,

See this link for clarification (although I might be misreading it:rotfl:)
