Atomic Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 If anything it looks like getting hold of a Wii at the moment is getting worse. Anyone got any sources? Cheers, AG> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 I put a link in the other thread for DAZ if you have a look. You can subscribe to the mail on the website. Also if you read the comments on some of the shops people are saying where they are ins-tock etc. I got mine from HMV just asking them when they are next getting them in, there are more coming through all the time. At least they don't have a shortage of remote's etc now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted January 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 I have subscribed to those monitoring sites but they seem to be sending out less updates. Which is one of the reasons I posted this mail. I'll certainly keep trying, I'm just amazed by the availability though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 I got mine from a local Game store. Had to ring around about 5 of them before I found one with stock. They are getting more stock in but it's selling out just as quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drpellypo Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Game have some in stock at the Newcastle branch, so I'm told. Colleague of mine just bought one from there and they said they had loads! Don't know how long that stock will have lasted though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Nope, just told them I'd be there in 10 minutes and asked them to hold it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted January 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Just rang about 8 game stores, I'm guessing there must be a prime time of day to do this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Game have got stock as part of a bundle with 4 games for £334. http://www.game.co.uk/ViewProduct.aspx?cat=11475&mid=330334 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Bit expensive. I got mine for £275 with 3 games (three of the ones in the pack as it happens) and a small memory card. Got that from HMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shao_khan Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 My Local Commet had 6 on Monday. ToysRUs had several, PC world were due a shipment of which 50% were spoken for with pre-order. So i'd just try all these places local to you, some of the places like Commet / Currys etc are good because it seems most people try GAME,etc first.

Newbie123 Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 All gone again I'm afraid, though they did have stock for over an hour this time rather than the usual 15 minutes Mine's dispatching soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atomic Posted February 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 All I seem to get is 'Sorry mate, it's out of stock and no idea when we will be getting any more.' Checked amazon etc. but they are way too high atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crasher Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 It's a long shot, but maybe worth taking a look in your local Tesco's. My local does them from time to time, at the normal retail price. They do sell v.quicky though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atomic Posted February 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Man it looks like Game are really creaming the shortage situation. Not sure to say bravo or bastardo... probably the latter. You can get a console + 4 game packs from em for £344 in abundance but they have no consoles alone in stock!

pingpongpo Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Just got one from gamestation. That link for sourcing a Wii is great!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted February 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Agreed, link is great Got mine from same place this morning ... at 10:01 which included the time it took to register name/address etc. Kinda of naff setup again, was forced to buy an extra game with the console. Not that I really wanted one at the moment as I haven't read any reviews or even bothered to look (was waiting for console...). Still, hopefully it's on it's way home and they havent put me on a backorder list and claim 'opps sorry dispatch issue' or something simular. Wife's gonna freak though ... My online purchases this month are a little ott... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted February 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 "I have to say I feel particularly surprised and saddened as to how a company like 'Game' has jumped onto greed the bandwagon regarding the current Nintendo Wii console stock situation. Last week I was monitoring your website and phoning local stores to see if any consoles were available. And was very surprised to see that the normal stock code for the Wii console showed out of stock whereas you were activelt bundling the console with 4 games for considerably more money. i.e. £340 vs. £190. Comparing it to other outlets, yes they have been following similar practices but none have to my knowledge pushed the arrangement so far. Gamestation for example expect the console to be purchased with a choice of 1 to 4 extra games. In essence the price varying from around £220 upto your price of around £340. I have used your shop avidly over the last few years and feel that this is worthy of making the comment. I have fortunately for myself (And unfortunately for your company) now sourced a console from another supplier at a much reduced cost and with the benefit of knowing I now have the choice of picking what games I want to buy for the console as opposed to ending up with 4 that I didn’t particularly want.
