AeroScap Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 Judging by the activity going on here it seems like a lot of your guys already have the wii. Previously I have been too busy to get my ass into gear and get one of those beauties. So I was wondering if those with the experience know where to look that has stock? or will be having stock soon? *stares at copy of unopened zelda and wii play sat in the corner of the room*
solitanze Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 Earth. In terms of a specific place, I am not able to offer my assistance further as I am not based in the continent that is Europe. I have at least narrowed your search down to one planet within the solar system.

fanman Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 You can try ringing everywhere, but that takes a lot of effort. Try waiting untill january or february when most places should have them, or if that's too long, ebay or amazon marketplace. The prices are starting to drop now anyway.

Gaijin von Snikbah Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 I think your best bet would be small toy shops.
Zyneth Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 I got mine at an independent game shop a week after I pre-ordered and had payed 50 euros beforehand. You should ring a few places and stick with the shop that will get it the earliest.
flameboy Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 well your unlucky you decided this abit late, as the second big batch was knocking around last week and a lot of big stores, hmv,virgin etc... managed to fulfill their preorders so were putting them out on the shelves....we got 3 to sell at work, went in 10 mins... but that won't be the case now...you won't get one till January (ok so techinically only next week) cos as far as I know Nintendo of Europe take a couple of weeks off xmas.

I think their called Columbians... Oh yes I forgot we have to be policitally correct (coin bursts out of suit) Sorry some vague AD referencing there.
AshMat Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 I ahve a great idea, isntead of pre ordering on time, i'm gonna leave it off, and buy games isntead.

Solo Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 I now have a Wii but I'm desperate for an extra Wiimote and component cable!
or else you will DIE Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 still can't find a wii anywhere here.

I hope you're wrong , because I was told that mine should get delivered at some point this week , although the lack of communication from the place I ordered means you may be right. Oh well , another week won't hurt much , although the wait is killing me slowly.
Portlett Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 somebody told me yesterday that most shops should have lots of wii's on sale around the 7th and 9th of january.
or else you will DIE Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 that's what i've been told too for all of the places around me.
