Yeah, spotted them on eBay and was admiring the (already) inflated prices.
Thanks

Re: Wii Availability
http://www.wii-consoles.co.uk/#wii_consoles has a list but many are selling out and you end up with a big bundle being the only option

Re: Wii Availability
Argos has intermitent stocks, but for store collection only. that's where I managed to get mine from last month. It's just a case of checking your local store and quickly reserving one if/when they come in.
One the downside, as soon as I got ours, my darling wife let me test it once. Then put it away saying 'it's for the kids for christmas'

Re: Wii Availability

I still hear they are doing the list that way you dont have to rush around all the time trying to find one.

Re: Wii Availability
I ordered one from a German company on Ebay for £198 (OK £18 more than the UK price), paid around £20 for delivery, but I have got one for Christmas. Plus is has a two-year warranty instead on the standard one)
But it will only have a European plug I hear you cry? Well they kindly threw in an adapter that covers more than just Europe for free.
Took around a week to arrive and I have tested it and it's working well. Then it was put away until the 25th December...

Re: Wii Availability
Yeah, a bird at work picked one up from Amazon... can't remember if she got it from the French or the German one, but she got a good price and is paying much less, considering it's being shipped from the continent, than she would getting it from many places in the UK.

Re: Wii Availability
Saw a newspaper Ad for Toys R Us today. They say that they are going to have Wiis tomorrow morning. But it's one per customer, on a first come first served basis.
Hope that this is of some help to someone.
