Gonna wait ti see what deals GAME do before i pre-order more games from Gameplay. nearer the time I'll probably get 5000 points or something.

Then whatever game they don't do in a bundle I'll order.

Hope they say the info soon, so i know how much to save up. I'm goin to a rough target right now, which i don't like, especially if its gonna go over.

 

WTF!!?! I just checked on the GAME website, and i have magically lost 39p, from my reward card. I had £15.15 on it now i have £14.76 !!? they don't take money off you if you pre-order do they?

Has ordered:

Hardware and such:

Wii console+Wii Sports

Extra Nunchuk

Classic Controller

2000 Wii Points

Launch Day Games:

Zelda

Super Monkey Ball

Red Steel

Rayman

Other Games:

Wii Play+Wii Remote

Warioware

ExciteTruck

 

Total: About £500. Would have been around £580, but I thought I'd leave DragonballZ and Metroid Prime off the list. For now...

 

Great, now I have the feeling that the mailman is gonna steal it all.

 

Same here!

 

I wasn't going to use Gameplay (i'm still worried about it snowing here so that may delay delivery) but i did a bundle thing and saved £50 odd quid, so it is worth it.

 

I'm no longer buying a import Wii. I really really wanted to, but heck, i know i will regret it afterwards, it's only a extra 2 and a bit weeks till European date ain't it?.

 

 

Anyway, Zelda on 8th December? Right near Xmas? HOW MAGICAL!

 

My bundle:

 

Wii and Wii Sports

Rayman

Super Monkey Ball

Zelda

Red Steel

2x 2000 Wii points

1x Wii-Mote

1x Nunchuck

1x Classic controller (well i couldn't help myself)

 

Came to £430

 

Then i'll use my credit notes from Gamestation to buy the rest of the games i want!

 

How exciting! :yay:

BE WARNED:

 

The pre-order "bundles" from the GAME website are all charged at RRP! There is no saving to be had. I seriously doubt Wii games are going to be hard to find on launch day in shops, pre-ordering a console with games and getting zero discount is madness!

Don't really mind since my money saved up is counting £40 per game,if it's lower it's a bonus.

Fair enough, but I would have thought that people would want to take advantage of bundles with decent discounts. No doubt GAME will have those sorts of bundles in-store at launch, like other game stores.

Owen, please PLEASE dont take offence to anything that I say but arent you just a SMIDGE over reacting to this whole snow thing? Its highly unlikely that it will happen on such a large scale to delay delivery of your Wii. If things are so worrying then just go to the shops then.

 

However having said that I really do admire your enthusiam, its quite uplifting!:)

Assuming Owen is in the UK (or Ireland) then I think the snow thing is justified, since last year (or the year before) it was crazy the amount of ice and shizzle on the roads.

Well Im in Ireland and Im not worried at all about snow/ice or whatever.

 

Sure its a problem but I dont think its something that would bother me big time and I just think its a tiny bit over cautious thats all

When I preordered my Wii, only preordered the console, does anyone think I should preorder some games just in case?

 

Did games sell out for the 360 when it launched?

I live in the UK, Essex. We did have a really bad snowy period, i'm just thinking ahead, if people don't like that, poor them.

Not that I know of. However I'd expect Zelda to be in high demand, but I'd also expect Nintendo to anticipate that and get a lot to stores/online retailers.

Yeah, Gameplay said Zelda is very very popluar.

 

It's in the top 5 of the top 10 preorders already. No other Wii game is in it last time i checked.

 

I expect Zelda to sell LOADS! It really does deserve to though, it's obviously the system seller.
