Timmah Veteran Posted December 25, 2006 Veteran Share Posted December 25, 2006 It's Xmas, I have the money and I badly want a Wii!!! Where's it worth ordering from online? Can anyone recommend? I'd love to go into town and buy one same day but my chances are zilch. Anyone else in this position?

mint0 Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 give it a couple weeks :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/524364-uk-where-can-i-get-a-wii/#findComment-588166020 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phemo Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Yeah I'm in the same boat. I reckon I could've got one last week if I kept hunting around the shops early every day but I couldn't be bothered. I'm gonna wait a couple of weeks. Some good games other than Wii Sports and Zelda should be out by then too.

Timmah Veteran Posted December 25, 2006 Author Veteran Share Posted December 25, 2006 Virgin Megastores are always a good bet because they don't take pre-orders, so its a first-come-first-served system. Will have to see how it goes. If anyone gets any info of stock coming in to places, let us know ;) Keep an eye on http://www.game.co.uk/wii too Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/524364-uk-where-can-i-get-a-wii/#findComment-588166220 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNSBarry Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 I Wouldn't try Virgin, apparently they are forcing people into buying stupid bundles with something like 8 games in. Try a local independent store or somewhere like Curry's or Comet, they are bound to have some. I have also heard that Argos have quite a nice bit of Wii stock in now so you may be lucky there.

MightyJordan Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 I managed to get one from Game last Monday. It was sheer luck, though. Try calling up various stores in your city. Game, Currys, Comet, PC World, ToysRUs, Argos, or even try a catalogue. That's where I was originally going to get the Wii from. But they failed to deliver it on Monday the 11th like they promised. I got the Wii last Monday and then 3 days later, the one from the catalogue arrived! My mum ended up sending it back, but I wanted to keep Zelda. Try the Lookagain catalogue. They might have some still. The only downside is that you'll be paying more for it due to it being pay weekly.

I hate that, you go to a store to buy just a console and they don't have them on their own just in expensive bundles, just annoying.
