You can buy Wii consoles direct from Amazon.fr (France) with next day delivery for approx £190 .

Log into your Amazon uk account and add your preferred delivery address but select your country as "France" from the drop down list. Next log into Amazon.Fr and place your order selecting the delivery address you have just created.
The order should be with you the next day via TNT! :beer:

Open the box, cut off the two pin plug, fit a proper UK plug and your laughing.
The packaging and instructions are in English and the warranty is valid with Nintendo UK.


The site only allows you to order one console at a time but I ordered two before Christmas and several friends ordered them too.
Any problems with the language can be overcome using "Babelfish" translation.

As I'm now getting desperate (son's birtday v. soon) I gave this a go. Unfortunately Amazon France are now also out of stock. Doh!

Keep checking their website or try the same trick with Amazon.De.

So how does it get delivered to the uk address, as if I change it back it states not accepted address. Thanks

Has anyone bought from microdirect before? I have seen some wii's on there and wondered if they were ok as I've never heard of them before.

MicroDirect have been trading for a while, and are a genuine company - bought quite a bit from them in the past.

Woo-hoo : Just managed to bag one from John Lewis (I hope). Just had confirmation email so all should be well.

I searched for 'wii' on their web-site and basically kept refreshing the screen every 5 or 10 minutes. A few minutes ago it started to look different and most of their packages disppeared and then, hey-presto, 2 came back with a little stock (only 3 of the basic pack when I got to it). So it pays to be patient and keep an eye on their site !!!

Managed to get an odd nunchuk from Argos yesterday, so all I need now is another controller or Wii-Play - anybody ???

LOL. Dective Biffer is the forum police. Why else would he/she be checking MSEers previous posts ? :rotfl:

I went hunting in peterborough today and there is a mobile phone shop with hundreds in, when i asked if they sold them seperately outside of the phone contracts the guy looked up the price and they are selling them at 249.99 if anyone is that desperate.
