isnt that the idea of a free market? :p

if people want to pay 5 times the value for something then let them. its the clever people who plan ahead and buy a couple to sell on that keeps those mother fuckers needs at bay.

Yeah the cleaver people who buy so many that all the real people on pre order don't get it and are forced to pay a fortune off flebay so they do not dissapoint the children.

If it was a economics lesson i would agree with you but seeing as i see it as greed i theink the people selling them for a grand are tosseres. The best one i have seen so far is a guy saying he has decided to make a sacrifice and gie up his wii so some one can have a happy christmas. What a saint oh no wait its buy it now for £999 :) it dose make me laugh

I want a bloody Wii. I have never been so sad about waiting on anything in my life. I am more excited about this than I was about losing my virginity :p


p.s. I prefer being on the bottom :p

Having gone to uni, I naturally get really excited by anything arriving at the house with my name on it. Getting post makes my day.

congrats :)

where did you pick it up in the end?

Southampton asda.

Cal, the trick is, if you have time, and know they are getting a delivery in, just go, and queue. Worst you wait 2 hours and get one.
One other question to ask is have people started queuing for them yet.

Cal, the way asda and tesco work is like this:
They get deliverys every day, however they can't see whats in them on their system until the acctual day.
So you ring up every morning and say hi, any Wii's comming in your delivery today.
They check, if they say no, ring back tomorrow, if they say yes, ask how many and if anybody has started queueing yet. Then you get your ass down to the store :p
