I know how you can get a WII for Chrimbo. Have bought 5 in the past 3 weeks for £179.99

Who wants to know my secret?????

nah

are you buying them from Germany on Amazon?

Have bought 3 from Amazon in Uk and two from HMV in UK.

Got one for me and friends were moaning that they couldnt get one so i ended up getting it for them. Made me feel really good as they were so happy and wanted to pass on my little tip.

I need to get ds's a wii. I have no hope!
I don't have a card i can use on;ine which reduces my chances evenmore

ATort, if we win one (ds doesn't know he's getting one, so keeps entering comps to win one) it's yours

Thank you fmv . Thats good of you. Do you often win things?
I have entered a comp to win one in the Sun today! I very much doubt i would be lucky!

Click on realtime alerts on left of page. They come into stock at really odd times i.e 12 midnight etc.

Atort could you borrow a card from a friend or Family ????

mrsmaddyd Nope there is no-ones card i could use.
(Its tortoise btw!)

I won a wii last year - on MN

oh sorry, tortoise

nooo, the only thing I've ever won was a goodie though - I got the trip to Hamleys thanks to MN . So maybe this is my lucky year for once...

We managed to get one from germany but now we want another for my BIL - they seemed to have stopped it now.

Anyone know why - or are they being deliberately obtuse just to PISS ME OFF EVEN FURTHER WITH THOSE FUCKERS AT NINTENDO???

I won a book off MN last year but it never arrived Cant even remember now which one it was

EricL, it's a bloody piss-take innit!

(we have been lucky enough to get one from Grmany and, as they had stopped shipping to the UK by the time we ordered, were lucky enough to have a friend in Germany who is shipping it to us here for the princely sum of £15 inc insurance....)

I tried to win the wii last year

Atort ,if you haven't got a card ,go to a paypoint and get one of these they cost 3.00 and all you do is put the money on you want to spend online register it and away you go.
I've got it as Dp confiscated mine as I went a bit mad with it !
This one just allows you to put whatever money you need on it and no chance of getting into debt .
It's mastercard too so trustworthy

But why have they stopped shipping them?

Supply and demand for fucks sake!

This whole episode pisses me right off.

mercifully my children have very low expectations and know a wii is absolutely out of the question.

a friend at work bought his son a wii, but said son expressed a preference for a 18" remote control dalek. 18" dalek is now secured! the wii is being kept for the dad which i suspect a lot of this frenzy is about.

is there an award for most in a post? ;)

I'm desperate. The dds know I can't get hold of one so have asked Santa instead

I absolutely refuse to pay current ebay and amazon prices and am on phone alert and pc alert. Help!

pyjamagirl Thanks that looks worth getting sometime. Unfortunatly does say can only put £150 on which isn't enogh for a wii. Would be good for other online bargains i miss out on!

Wheresthehamster use that site, honestly its fab!!!!

Tort yopu can apply for it to be upgraded thats what I did I can put up to a grand on it now .
No credit checks no bank details just apply for upgrade minetook 5 days to come through x

I am mrsmaddy!! I'm just never on line when the stuff comes in

If you check the times of how long they're actually in stock , say John Lewis, it's about 2 minutes. You have to be really quick!

Keep an eye on Amazon tonight - they keep releasing them at midnight for some reason Also John Lewis have had them in and out for the last couple of days - go through quidco and use TEL258CCT200 to get £20 off too.

pyjamagirl Thanks,i will look into it and see if i can get one from local paypoint.
