They can do games (tell them to search description *wii* and there are 3rd party games on there). I'm probably the only person to have ordered Wii titles though.

You don't have to. "Search This Thread" is a beaut.

I think I'm 18th. And about the games, I actually have "Games ordered" written on my slip with blank spaces, so I think my GAME is doing games at the moment. I just believe that the girl behind the counter really hated me, she tried to steal my reward card by saying she gave it back to me and started to serve someone else. :(

It's because the launch lineup for Europe isn't actually known. They said they'd inform me nearer the time what games were comming out, and that I could preorder them then.

I have 5 Wii's pre-ordered now,i'm sure i'll get one.

 

Can i ask why you need 5 Wii's? It's incredibly selfish if you are buying them to sell on to make a profit when some people won't be able to get one if there is a shortage.

I think he meant that hed just get one, as in 5 chances are better than preordering one

 

If you are right then I agree its selfish, leave them be and share this lil box of joy with as many people as possible!

Has anyone got 'any' idea how many consoles GAME shops will get in each store?

 

Also i am right in saying that every GAME store will get at least 1 Wii right? :confused:

 

There won't be any stores that don't get one, thats what i meant?

No idea how many they'll get, but I very much doubt any GAME stores will get none at all.

 

I reckon there will be more than enough systems to meet the initial demand anyway.

We don't even know how many Wii's Europe is going to get at launch, America are getting a million, so I presume Europe will be a little bit less, 750,000 maybe, with the bulk going to the UK?

Game is by far the largest retailer in Europe.. You can be sure that they'll get the largest allocation in the country.

I'm ganan pre-order mine tommorw, will go to GAME first, but if they have a big pre-oder list and can't 100% say I will get on lanuch day I will go to gamestation and if they can't there is a good indie games store which I could trust to hold me one.

That's the reason,if my pre-order from Gamestation will get me one at midnight,i'll cancel the rest,it's just so I have a better chance.

No one can guarentee they'll give you one yet, as no one knows their stock allocation.
