Posted December 7, 2006 All you guys should have just preordered in the shops rather than online. Why worry about delivery when you can just pick one up whenever you want + being able to call someone up from a small store as opposed to a multinational like Amazon or play. I swear you are just repeating yourself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 7, 2006 Just called Game and got a bit of unfortunate news. No, Wii is still coming tomorrow... just the component cable isn't. Composite Cryday it is, then. To summarise, this is what I have put in my bag: - Wii + Wii Sports - Zelda - Wii Play - Monkey Ball My sister has - Wii + Wii Sports - Zelda - Wii Play Really gutted about the Component cable situation and Play Asia letting me down, but hopefully Zelda is still playable. There's always the CRT in the living room afterall. so has the component cable been delayed then? or is it just with Game? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 7, 2006 How many systems has Nintendo got ready for Europe? The best place to find out is going to be here. I've got my pre-order at GAME, and I can't wait until tomorrow morning, WOO! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 7, 2006 It doesn't look like I'll be getting a component cable either. My order's status at Gameplay is 'Being Picked' though, so I'm just going to be thankful I'll at least be getting the console (probably). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 7, 2006 If you're planning on the Asda thing, then I suggest you ring them. As I rang Hatfield store, and that number isn't correct. Don't know about the rest, but I'm going to ring Swanley store in a sec. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 7, 2006 Asda dont take pre orders, this happeend last year of the Xbox 360, so if you want one make sure your instore before mid night and hassle some staff! That's excellent, thanks! I'll be going about 6 I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 7, 2006 GAME dispatched mine yesterday. It ussually comes the next day when they do that. My DS came a day early, hopefully it will happen again. Time is getting on. Probably have to wait till tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't know about the rest, but I'm going to ring Swanley store in a sec. That's correct, I just phoned and was told they are having 50 in and was also told they've had a large number of enquirys so I may go after work to pick one up. 6 hour wait... I feel so lame.:horse: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 7, 2006 so has the component cable been delayed then? or is it just with Game? Apparently SOME Gamestation stores will have some third party MAD KATZ cables in, but they're very limited. I called my store and they're getting nothing component. Hopefully one of the other stores in town will have one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 7, 2006 So is everyones order at Gameplay still say "Being Picked" or is it just me and Serebii People on a few other forums still have it. I trust Pyxsis...we'll get ours Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 7, 2006 for anyone who would like to try there luck at asda's at midnight here is a list of stores getting some, the number is how many they are getting: List supplied by asda customer service The 24hr store's will be selling them from midnight thursday... So does this mean if your nearest 24hr Asda definately isn't on this list, it probably won't be stocking any? I just asked my local Gamestation if I could get in to buy a nunchuck at their midnight launch and they said no because they only allow preorders, grrr! Anybody know if anywhere in or around Braehead/Glasgow type area are going to be open at midnight that I'll be able to go to to get just a nunchuck? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 7, 2006 Shame my 24 hour Asda in halifax isn't having consoles, i might try get a lift down tonight to see if i can pick up some games. EDIT: My gameplay order is in the same boat as you guys! I wouldn't worry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 7, 2006 I'm hearing rumours that GAME, Dawson St. Dublin will be kicking off the festivities at 11-11.30pm (depending on what the manager decides) and that they might have 100 consoles available over the counter (ie not pre-ordered).

Before i could see a van down the road parked up. I knew in the back of my mind it had nothing whatsoever to do with parcelforce, but it didn't stop me from monitoring its actions for the next 10 minutes. Just in case.
