Does anyone know when the next batch of Wii's will be in shops? I heard february?

Will it be the same as before as in first come first serve?

Any pre-order options again?

Panda.

I would suggest going to a GAME store 10 mins before opening and hanging about, soon as they open ask the staff. I was told all kinds of utter bullshit on the phone from multiple stores, popped down t'local and queued, guy said they had 9 delivered, took the first 9 names of people waiting - had to come back in an hour to pick 'em up.

I know they are getting them in every other day at the moment and sell out in about 0.00001 seconds from opening.

Well, i was in town on saturday at about 3pm and i went into game to see if they had any and i was very lucky, they had just had a delivery of them and hadn't put them on the shelf, i also had one preordered in game which didn't mean i was guaranteed one. Its on a first come first served basis. And they can get deliveries in at any time of the day so i would say get a job in there and then u get one on the next delivery!

We had 9 in this morning, lasted about half an hour :)

They are available again, most of the 21 stores in my area got some today.

I tired of waiting for a Wii so i got an Xbox360 instead - will probably get a Wii at a later date (probably when the pricewars start for real when the PS3 is released here in europe) but for now im fully satisfied on the console front with my 360 :) Cracking machine. Just hope it wont die on me ^^

EDIT: Also worth mentioning is that i paid less for the 360 plus 2 nice games, and extra controler than i would have paid for a Wii plus 2 nice games and extra controler set. The pricing here in sweden on the Wii is fucked up though.

I do, gamertag is Gartock :) Been trying out some instant join GoW matches and got to say (reluctantly) that MS actually know their stuff. Very painless and easy to use online functions.

I was in town not looking for a wii when walking past GAME I thought id have a look at some PC games, heard someone ask if any Wii's in and heard him say 3, bloke took one, then I thought I would have one then someone behind me in queue took one, guess I just dropped lucky, I would say GAME seems to get a batch every so often

Nah they had some for £179.99 at the time I posted, and I think someone from our DAOC guild managed to get an order in.

I think you missed the point Alan. Fuzzy is implying everyone that bought one is now selling it on.
