Tbh, if you haven't pre-ordered or found a shop that had stock by now, I doubt you will get one before Christmas.....sorry (and hope I'm proved wrong!)

hairymclary · 20/12/2006 09:48

agree with ktreepee, they're going on ebay for stupid money, you're very, very, very unlikely to get one until after christmas

Sorry I thought this was a joke!

bobs · 20/12/2006 10:08

Sorry to be a killjoy but I heard a story that they had to recall a load of them as when people were swinging them around the batteries flew out and smashed the telly - had to giggle though

iota · 20/12/2006 10:14

hadn't heard that one , but there is an issue re the strength of the wrist strap here

Ash80 · 20/12/2006 10:16

I think the big Tesco extra stores sell them.

jackieglyn · 20/12/2006 10:22

great

KTreePee · 21/12/2006 07:49

So pleased for you that I was proved wrong!

SueW · 21/12/2006 09:45

Good for you.

Not unusual to find deliveries come in 2-3 days before Xmas - I had the same situation when I decided to buy DH a playstation a few years ago. His mates had been searching for them for weeks; I went shopping on Xmas Eve and there were huge piles of them in the shops!

I think it's deliberate - you feel bad they'll be nothing so you go out and do a massive guilt spend and then end up seeing the product you want and buying anyway. By then you've wrapped the other stuff and can't be bothered to take it back. (But my DH says I'm a conpiracy theorist!)

well the strap broke on ours this morning - ds2 (age5) was ten pin bowling - hardly rough stuff

it is a really poor design though - a pathetic thin cotton thread joining the strap to the controller.

( controller hit the mantelpiece BTW not the TV)

steffy1 · 21/12/2006 11:14

it said on the radio that they will replace the straps for free with something better.

ring them?

iota · 21/12/2006 14:28

thanks steffy - dh has emailed them

izzybiz · 21/12/2006 14:31

I got one on monday in Game!
Their website today said they are expecting limited deliveries in some stores on Thursday and Friday.
Good luck!!

hairymclary · 22/12/2006 10:52

but you aren't actually supposed to let go of the controller are you?
