Ashley Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 Stock is very limited everywhere, it would be even harded in a big city. There may be some over easter, but not much I'd imagine. They won't be going on general sale until August time.
Emasher Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 they were actually suposed to be on general sale a month ago. i guess you could always ask your local GAME or other gamig store to phone you when they get stock
Ginger_Chris Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 Ordering off the net is probably your best bet surely?
Dyson Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 News just in http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nintendo-Wii-Console-Sports/dp/B0007UATDG/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/202-2067582-0597456?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1175288629&sr=8-1 Get 'em while they're hot!
ShadowV7 Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 I have mixed views on that. Part of me thinks there holding some back because the Wii went gold or something in July/Augues so that was plenty of time to store up Wiis.But would they really risk it by not giving out much stock allocation... Nintendo will want it do well but it's like gold dust and I think if they had more they would atleast send out some more so demand isn't quite as high before people say "I give up" Or maybe there pulling a fast one since there's a lot of PS3's and barely any Wiis,people will think the Wii is better and wait for one
Emasher Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 There already gone from amazon. no there still in stock
ShadowV7 Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 no there still in stock Woah,I was sure they was no more and I triple checked cause i'm pressing the refresh button every minute to see what happens. I think i'm losing it
Smiter Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 Not sure how it is in other towns, but my local GAME in Torquay was promoting Wiis at £215 with any one game. No real money saving, but it seems they had stock this morning (when I visited to pick up Godfather). Stock would probably look a little better if the Ebay scalpers would quit buying up every unit they could get their hands on... :P
Mikey Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 It's fucking annoying to be honest. The console came out months ago, and you still can't buy it anywhere.
Happenstance Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 I used http://www.wiipreorder.co.uk to keep track of online stock when I wanted mine, managed to get it from Woolworths
Ashley Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Nintendo are holding back stock on purpose. Why would they do that. Nintendo are having as much of a nightmare with this as everyone else. If they had stock they would ship it, because at the end of the day it makes more sale. Its not like they are holding off shipping them to build up suspense. Any Wiis sent into a store will be sold that day and everyone will be happy.
ShadowV7 Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Shyguy,tell me you got one from Amazon... Please don't tell me you missed it.
