I ordered mine on the 26th of September, as soon as they went online.

 

At the moment it seems to be just Gameplay and Woolworths, not too sure though.

my zelda order has changed to:

 

Items dispatching soon:

Delivery estimate: 8 Dec 2006

 

* 1 of: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii)

 

but my Wii order is still:

 

tems not yet dispatched:

Delivery estimate: 8 Dec 2006

 

* 1 of: Nintendo Wii Console (Includes Wii Sports)

I know I still think you have a fairly good chance at ASDA. Think about it most people in Tamworth WILL have preordered via Gamestation/game. ASDA don't do pre orderes I say get there for 11pm and try your luck I know I'm going to be there.

 

It beats sitting at home on Friday and sulking with your 360 thinking about what could have been,

 

I wouldn't bet on Asda. I work at an Asda store, and they aren't as wise on the old computer games as you may think. We had problems getting the new football manager in stock, let alone a console for launch. I know Asda luton didn't receive any 360's for launch, all of the regions (a massive 3!!) went to Milton Keynes.

To be fair, the American launch had some pretty hardcore distribution problems, too.
Hey are you the guy that ran that NoE watch site?

Ha, yeah I am. I guess there's a certain irony about this.

Oh cool, thanks :)

 

I just thought I could do a better job reopening Zelda Elements, and I needed NoE Watch's server to do so. Still, times like this, seems like a pretty good idea again. Hmmm.

Nintendo Wii + Wii Sports

Zelda: Twilight Princess

Red Steel

 

Still waiting on the Extra Wiimote to change, but that can wait if necessary ;o)

 

Just so glad I caught the "Wii Preorders now open!" email very early!!! (24 mins, hahaha!)

 

As long as everyone gets there preorder before Xmas!!!

No update yet for me on Zelda from shopto.net (but I have CoD3 Wii from them already), and play.com have been annoyingly quiet in regards to my Wiimote & nunchuck...

 

Meh.

Bank balance: 225 quid.

 

*takes out 200 quid*

 

Bank balance: 25 quid.

 

I still have a tiny bit more to take out, too.

 

Oh noes!

 

I've paid a 20 quid deposit at gamestation, so that i could preorder the damn thing. Does this mean that i've already put 20 quid down for the console, or does it mean the money is just for reserving, and i have it all to pay again?

any of you guys and gals work for GAME??? Cause we found out today that our staff are not allowed the machines until the first and second phase pre-orders have been completed, I am so angry, it's unbelieveable, we only found out because the manager rang up about some missing machines and was told that:(

Thank Jebus for that.

 

Can anyone remember the Gamestation deal?

 

They said it was something like 209 quid for Zelda + Wii, and 230 for 2 games and Wii. Is that right?
