    Just had an "item posted" from play for the Wii Play which was spotted a couple of days ago. Excellent.

    Hi, just to warn you, I ordered Wii play for £34.99 from Play.com at 3.30pm on Friday afternoon which was showing as in stock and received my confirmation email. I had to phone them that day about another order problem and was informed that "by the way" the Wii play was not in stock and that they weren't likely to be getting any more in!! I am really annoyed as I received the confirmation email and if I hadn't of phoned I would of been waiting for it this week. Anyone that has ordered it from them should check as they're probably all selling them on ebay for double the price!!!

    I ordered Wii Play on Friday from PLAY.COM too - and today I received a shipping order from them - So everyone do not despair!!
    Some orders are obviously going through...

    They are imported Remotes, hence the increased price.

    All Wii remotes are imported. They sell for less than $50 in china.

    Sorry, you're missing my point. There are 2 kinds of Wii Remotes available in the UK

    1) Ones sold for the UK Market, which RRP at £29.99
    2) Ones imported from mainland europe/china/japan, which have an RRP in their country of origin + whatever costs to get them to the UK, generally these retail for more as you have to pay more to get them here. Hence the company above charging £39.99 for them, as they will of incurred costs bringing them to the UK from elsewhere.

  • I would advise anyone ordering the Wii Play from play.com to phone and check their order. Just phoned to check mine, and was told that it was out of stock and they don't know when they are getting stock in, he advised me to cancel the order altogether. They shouldn't show it as 'in stock' if its not.

    Same happened to me, posted about it over the weekend. Really annoyed with Play, especially considering I'd spent £290 with them last week buying a Wii. Won't be buying anything from them again I'm afraid after this incident!
  • Hi, Sorry to bother you all but does anyone know if the Japanese remotes work here on my uk wii? I cant test it myself as "Santa" has wrapped tit and taken it away (To Nannys house! Shhhh)
    I brought it from a mobile phone shop in Milton Keynes for 35.99.
    Thankyou for your help in advance.:beer:
