Posted January 3, 2007 Hey guys, I just ordered my Nintendo Wii from Gamestation on the 27th December, however I'm just wondering when I can expect it, their pre orders before christmas have all been filled and they couldn't give a definate date of shipment... Does anyone have any inside knowledge? Much appreciated... Antony *ORACLE OF GAMESTATION SPEAKS* I hear you brother, but AFAIK it's not just Gamestation at fault. In my store we were told we'd be getting a delivery of Wii units at the end of last week, so were taking orders but thankfully telling customers that it wasn't guaranteed, just that they had a good chance of getting a machine from the delivery (we only had about 10 pre-orders left to fulfil by Xmas Eve). So far, no delivery. And I believe the manager hasn't been told when the machines will be coming in, just that we are getting a delivery "soon". We're a bit pissed off, but people are still panic buying (why when Xmas has passed???) and paying for £420 bundles at the GAME over the road. /ORACLE On a related note - anyone else know of their local GAME store doing this sort of thing? Even pre-order customers who got a machine for launch were being forced to take "bundles", the cheapest being £420 (with of course no discount in there - it was all shelf price stuff added up to the value of £420 which is outrageous). A friend's girlfriend argued with the staff for over 30 minutes before they let her buy the machine she'd pre-ordered in September for £179.99 and leave the store with just that. However, so as to show that I'm not just stirring up hate against the competition - I pre-ordered a Wii component cable from GAME's website this morning and by the time I got home from work it had been despatched. I understand I just got lucky as my friend who works in another GAME in town has been waiting weeks for his and got his despatched today too, but nonetheless I am very happy with their online service right now - a shame Gamestation's website is absolutely dire.

Posted January 3, 2007 Yeah before xmas my local game store put the price of nunchucks up to £17.99 and wiimotes up to £32.99 and the manager basically said '' if you don't like it try e-bay '' i got em normal price at my local Gamestation. I agree about the website though!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
