how about here
There is another website that I was told about I will try and find it out later

Did a thread on aibu - have bought one now from Dixons. You have to register and then just keep trying. I think they only put a few through at a time or someything. Amazon etc are all vvv expensive - Dixon was the basic starter package for £179. Good luck!

Bought one yesterday from Gamestation (online) - great deal £250 approx with Wii sports, big brain academy + 2 games.

(one of the games we selected was wii play, which apparently is important as you get a second controller that way )

well if you want it is sheds a different light....

okay - do my ludicrous savings mechanism.

No take away = £25
No new clothes = £50
No night out = £30

keep going until you have reached the macig number that zxtortionss are charging and buy guilt free.

crap logic but is great if you need a guilt free spend!

You could try ordering from german amazon exactly the same as a UK console and you can use your normal amazon account details, logon etc How about a wii They seem to have them in stock more often than the UK and are slightly cheaper.

TrinityRhino · 14/10/2007 18:37

we have a takeaway about twice a month and it costs about a tenner a time
I dont buy new clothes anymore
We dont go out anymore

we can only really afford the basic package or a slightly more expensive bundle
I WILL FIND ONE, I WILL FIND ONE

TwoToTango · 14/10/2007 18:53

you could register with Dixons - they seem to get stock in pretty regularly (only last for minutes though)

nutcracker · 14/10/2007 18:54

Some of the more expensive bundles are showing as in stock here

TrinityRhino · 14/10/2007 19:18

phew
what a palaver

I got one on the baset after an age and then realised that I dont have a virgin account
registered which took forever
then I got to the checkout and it wouldn't acept my card

me: DH QUICK TAKE GECKO AND GIVE ME YOUR CARD

dh: huh what

ME: .....THAT PLANT WE ARE TRYING TO GET IS IN STOCK, I NEED YOUR CARD......TAKE GECKO!!!!!

dh runs in with other card and takes gecko
I fill in new mastercard details and then it asks for 'mastercard securecode'

me: WHAT'S YOUR SECURECODE??

dh: dunno, hang on

finally get securecode and get through checkout. I have a confirmation email and it say usually dispatched within 24 hours.....its the usually I don't like the look of
How likely is it that I'm going to get an email saying that they don't have any?????
