Where can my mum buy a Wii?

I know this has been done before but I didn't look at the threads because I wasn't looking for one, but now my mum wants to buy a Wii so just wondering if anyone knows where you can get them from at the moment?

TIA!

No idea. My mum wanted to get me one but they are rarer than rocking horse poo. Amazon in Germany won't deliver to the UK anymore either.

Good luck!

There is a wii stock checking website hopefully someone will pass on the link as that seems to be the best way to get one.

www.wii-consoles.co.uk/ is the place to check. DP resevred one from Argos last christmas and went he went to pick it up it they hadn't reserved it or more likely one of the staff members decided to buy it!

salsmum, £295 isn't that bad - mine was £180 and only comes with one game, and I think the games are around £30-40 each

lydia,
It came yestoday .
the receipt was in parcel [argos £179.99]
the 5 games that i was told were included was in fact the sports game with 5 games on it it was purchased on 21/nov which makes me wonder if it was a person working for argos that sold it ....good money maker!
BUT...Main thing is i have it so no tears on xmas day from my 23year old son! LOL.

You can't reserve any from Argos at the moment but the check and reserve service tells you if any are in stock so you can whizz down there.

I'm getting desperate

The wii stock checker site is showing that some are in stock at places like Dixons but they are horrendously priced bundles

wilkinsons or hmv.wilkinsons have an online shop and you can register so they email you when back in stock
