flameboy Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 nice again to see that they are fleecing you by insisting on selling bundles. anyway first sign that now the fiscal year is over the shortage is coming to an end.
Mikey Posted April 3, 2007 Author Posted April 3, 2007 Yeah, Game can fuck off to be honest. I'm boycotting them for using sleazy tactics like this.
flameboy Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 It is actually illegal as well, I don't get how they get away with it...mental...
Mikey Posted April 3, 2007 Author Posted April 3, 2007 Maybe we should complain to trading standards... These bullshit bundles put me off buying one, and I'm sure Nintendo won't be happy about that..
Tellyn Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 The Wii would have sold a lot more by now in England if not for these bundles. They make sure that only rich people can buy them.
Mikey Posted April 3, 2007 Author Posted April 3, 2007 I can afford it, it's just that I REFUSE to buy them. If I only want the console, why can't I just buy that?
darksnowman Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 Mine was one seriously huuuge bundle from Game in the pre-Chrimbo period, and its suited my needs just fine.
Kazzahdrane Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 Yeah, GAME always do this and whenever anyone complains to trading standards the Head Office respond by saying that GAME does not condone this and the stores doing it are acting without the permission of the company as a whole. Even though every single branch does it.....sure...
Shyguy Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 i just hope so bad they have them In-Store today, then i will finally be able to purchase 1
Kazzahdrane Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 I was reffering specifically to GAME's practice of forcing even pre-order customers to take bundles with their consoles. You can always say no, but it takes a lot of yelling at them to make them back off and accept you don't want to pay shelf price for a bunch of games with no discount.
Shyguy Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 My Local GAME store say they are getting some in at 12pm \o/ but they dont allow pay with credit cards over the phone so i wont be able to buy 1. how come everything has to fuck up for me :< sam mum said it would be ok paying over the phone, ill jsut beg them i guess. im so pissed off at my mum though

Shyguy Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 ahhh cheers flameboy now i can scream at my mum instead of just having ago at her dam i went into GAME and saw a woman buying 1 and i was so upset cause i couldnt get 1 :< man im feeling so down atm cause they said they prolly wont get any more untill after easter now
Mikey Posted April 5, 2007 Author Posted April 5, 2007 http://www.game.co.uk/lowdown.aspx?lid=6958&cm_sp=Wii_-bundles-_-wk05 More rip off bundles from GAME.
system_error Posted April 5, 2007 Posted April 5, 2007 Strange, here in Austria nearly every store has more than enough Wiis. I just checked out 2 electronic stores and both had over 10 Wiis, more than enough Wiimotes and Nunchucks, component cables, Wii Point cards. Either demand is a lot less than expected or we are just lucky
monkeyDluffy Posted April 5, 2007 Posted April 5, 2007 looks like both gameplay and GAME website have wii's in
flameboy Posted April 5, 2007 Posted April 5, 2007 yeah looks like the drought is over...as the fiscal year passes...seems maybe their was an artificial shortage...
Mikey Posted April 6, 2007 Author Posted April 6, 2007 http://www.game.co.uk/ViewProduct.aspx?cat=11475&mid=330850 More rip off bundles.. http://www.dixons.co.uk/product.php?sku=067217
Mikey Posted April 10, 2007 Author Posted April 10, 2007 Even more bundles available from Game right now. Looks like the shortage is beginning to stop.

Solidus Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 I just missed my chance to get a Wii because my card details were fudged. Bugger. I have to wait until the next shipment. I need a e-hug, anyone?
