Managed to stay away from this thread for 24hrs now I have withdrawl symptoms, have I missed much ?.

Only that the prices on Ebay have gone through the floor and the poor saps holding out to make a killing in the week before Christmas are bricking it.

and no reserve. gutted...

Bet he says they can't find it anywhere :rotfl:

makes up for the one he sold for £240

He's also listed another one with 20hrs left, might be worth keeping an eye out

Sorry I don't see where you get the idea from. It may be what you think is happening, but Nintendo are getting no benefit.

The NY time was reporting Nintendo may lose out significantly due to the shortages http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/14/technology/14wii.html?_r=3&pagewanted=1&ref=business&oref=slogin&oref=slogin

The BBC interviewed Nintendo's UK distrribution bod who said they were in short supply back in november http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/talking_point/7095237.stm

So is it a Nintendo generated conspiracy or just the fact they can't make them fast enough? Nintendo have made 17 million of them this year, they were planning on making 14million, thats a 3 million increase on what they planned, and still there are shortages. All the last year often they were sold out in stores, not just now but all year. Nintendo have hit the market for six, the fact they are getting into places like retirement homes just shows how well they are selling.

I wish people would just sit and think. Every Xmas it's the same, the makers are trying to create a shortage to punt up prices. Rubbish, it's the end buyers doing it, cant see it in store, read the hype in the sun, mirror or mail and panic and hit ebay. The Makers just want to sell as many units as possible, Nintendo make money on every unit selling it in to the retail channel, they make the same if it retails for £179 or £1000 the retailers are setting the frankly silly prices, but the end buyers are paying it.

So tell me who's generating the shortage, evil corporations or stupid punters panic buying.

but why stop amazon fr and amazon de sending them to the uk in november then ? back in this thread (i think) a consumer was told by amazon directly that nintendo had told them not to sell any consoles to people with uk addresses and they stopped the trade .
yet they had plentiful supplies in europe where consoles are less popular .
sorry your argument doesnt stand up , they may not make any more money on EACH console but they do on the volume that are sold through the extra hype , and their retailers also make by selling over priced bundles .because they know people are so desperate they will buy anything if they are short .

On another forum I go on I was dismayed to read this tonight (hope its okay to C&P on here)

Have you bought anything off Ozone Electronics Ltd?

I paid Ozone Electronics Ltd £223.24 (by Paypal) on the 17/11/07 for a Ninetendo Wii. I have an electronic invoice to say they received my payment and yet I have no Wii. at the moment I'm very confused as I have a receipt to say Ozone received the payment, how can they now say they haven't received the payment when this money has gone straight from my current account, anyone any ideas whether I will get my money back?
Oh and while I'm here if anyone from Ozone Electronics Ltd is reading this, Have a really nice Christmas I know one family that won't, Thanks.

This is what I read at Ozone Electronics Ltd website Tonight.
