If anyone who has a child who wants a Wii for Christmas - get one ASAP

[MrsPuddleduck]

Just a message in case I can help anyone avoid buying one on Ebay at an inflated price.

Aparently Nintendo are saying there will not be enough for Chrismas due to high demand.

Just thought I'd let everyone know. I had no idea of the situation until I came to buy one yesterday.

did you get one will? where?

Don't forget, nintendo are not going to say anything else though, are they

we got ours from amazon, no probs

We only managed to get one from Ebay - some people are selling them brand new with receipts but they are going for between £200 - £250.00.

DH decided may as well spend an exta £30 rather than spend weeks stressing and wasting time chasing all over the place trying to get one.

Last night one went for £205 which wasn't too bad (DH paid £245 for ours )!

Ahhh just get 'em a hoop and a stick

or a whipping top

Just read popmum's post .

Amazon don't have any brand new ones at the moment.

Don't fall for the hype. They just want to drum up a panic situation for the publicity. Tell kids they can have a satuma in a stocking and wait till end of January for a Wii.

ohh yes, gosh must have been v. lucky as only got it about 3 weeks ago....came straightaway for £170

have seen them on the high street in hmv/argos/game though am sure

What is the wilkinsons website?

Tried it and got property agents!

Thuight may get DH and the kids one as a pressie at christmas - although he will moan!

I suspected Nintendo know exactly what they are doing re supply and demand!

I got one 2-3 weeks ago in Game. Just popped in off the streets, and they had a few in - in Sheffield. Called in last Thursday to buy a couple of games and they has "in stock" still.

Woolworths do keep getting them in online, as do HMV, Virgin and Amazon. but I think you have to be quick.

Look for availability here
