Wii Play and Wii Remote/Nunchuck - Please post all availability here.

Dear_Mr_Echo

With my HMV order I'm giving them until tomorrow and then I'm cancelling. Tomorrow is, according to the RM website, last day for Special Delivery post, so if it's not off by tomorrow it's not going to happen before Christmas. I'm also going to do some hunting on foot tomorrow to see if I can get a remote for my sister.

Just bought a remote and Nunchuck from DealExtreme for just over £34.00. Delivery is free from Hong Kong, dont know the wait, but not that bothered. It is a Japanese Spec, but they are exactly the same only in Japanese boxes and Japanese squiggly on the battery cover.

After reading complimentary comments about DealExtreme from another member on this site I too ordered a Remote & Nunchuck from them.
Ordered Sunday 9th, got Shipping Notification Thurs 13th and i've received them this morning :j .
Concidering where they've come from, that's not a bad turnaround in my opinion - especially since a SD Memory card ordered on the same day from PLAY.COM only arrived today :eek: .
Anyway unlike many my Wii isn't for the Kids, it's bought strictly for my own enjoyment!!:D

Can't believe I've also had an email from play.com to say that my items have been posted......it was the wii play that I ordered about 2 weeks ago that I forgot to cancel when it said awaiting stock :rolleyes:

Now, I'm taking bets on which ones, if any, will arrive before Christmas or will I end up with spare and can help out family/friends too

Play.com order said posted and they gave a tracking number. This evening, play.com status says "returned" then "refunded".

I phoned them this evening and apparently they realised at the last minute that the item being sent was not the correct item so they withdrew it and refunded my card !

Sounds very suspicious to me :mad:

HMV are IDIOTS... I was in the same boat - ridiculous - I have ordered 4 things from them over the past year, actually have NEVER recieved any products from them.

The Wii Play... pay an extra £5 to guarantee delivery...... awaiting stock from our supliers. A holes.

One product I am still waiting for - over 12 months since I ordered it - absolute disgrace, no wonder Dickie Branson is cleaning up when that is all he's competing with. Sell your shares in them - they WILL be liquidated/taken over ... you heard it first here.

I would be interested in how long you had to wait for their incompetent customer services to answer the phone.
Apologies if I appear to be sitting on the fence!:EasterBun


In case anyone is wondering..... HMV are crap. (and so are ADSA... and BT)

Dear_Mr_Echo

Go on get it off your chest

yeah, my gamestation order arrived today aswell, slow processing but super quick delivery it seems.
I can see why they forced you to bundle it with the cd case, who would pay £9.99 for that on it's own? but it was near enough free (can pay £39.99 for play on it's own) so i'm happy enough. My christmas cheer has been restored.:j

Is the case you received with your order the same one as they advertised on the site. It says its a padded case that holds up to 8 games, the one i received with my Gamestation order is a white plastic one that holds 4!!!!

Whilst on the subject of Wii Play, has anyone received theirs from Amazon.de that ordered on the 10th. Mine said estimated delivery of the 14th but i haven't received it. I have emailed them and they say it could take up to 31 days and should expect it in Jan 08 :mad: :mad: :mad: They have taken the money a while ago, is there anything i can do...it's meant to be for a christmas gift so January is no good to me..

My Controller and Nunchuk from Deal Extreme arrived yeserday (And didnt need to be signed for) so all those who ordered should hopefully be ok for Xmas

I now have a Wii Play and the Controller+Nunchuk, i am not looking to sell at all (in fact I am going to buy a 4th) but if anyone in Southend/Westcliff is really desperate for a controller (not Wii Play) I can go without a 3rd until the new year.
