    Has anyone actually recieved their wii from Argos yet?

    I ordered the £240 package at 8:40ish yesterday morning, got the message about being unable to confirm the order but then rang up and they confirmed they had the order and it would be delivered between 7 and 3 today (i paid extra for saturday delivery)

    So far today, nothing has come even though i've been sure to stay in all day. Currently on the phone to Argos CS but have spent 45 mins so far listening to their hold music over and over and over...

    Anyone else from here recieved one or had any problems?

    dude, exact same story here , 42 mins and counting.... but I give up, don't have a landline and my brain is probably medium rare by now.

    yeah, i got mine on speakerphone next to me, had to run off for the charger at one point too as i've been on the phone for so long! it's very annoying, i'm sure there were better ways i could've spent my saturday than waiting for a delivery then spending this long on the phone!

    If i get through before i lose the will to live i'll report back here and let you know

    I remember someone saying recently that high school musical wii games are hard to come by. I managed to get one with buy and reserve at my local Argos yesterday and paid £34.99 but have just noticed that Asda and The Hut are selling them online for £59.93!! That's more than a lot of them are going for on ebay. I would maybe expect it from a smaller retailer like The Hut, but not Asda. Even saying they can't guarantee Xmas delivery. Sorry to go off topic, but this just made me mad

    I think you probably will mate! after an hour and 3 minutes a message simply said "goodbye" and i got cut off!!!

    you have no idea how hard it is typing this without making every other work an expletive!

    EDIT: Just decided to send them a strongly worded email via the website and got an error when i clicked submit, losing everything i had typed! Ever get the feeling it's just one of those days...
