:heh: I dont know, I've checked the last page and i havnt seen his post.
1) £255 = Wii + Wii Sports + Wii Play + any game

 

Full Price = £259.97......Saving of...= £4.97

 

2) £259.97 = Wii + Wii Sports + any 2 games

 

Full Price = £259.97......Saving of...= £4.97

 

3) £289.99 = Wii + Wii Sports + Rayman Raving Rabbids + Super Monkey Ball + Monster 4x4 World Circuit

 

Full Price = £299.96......Saving of...= £9.97

 

4) £355 = Wii + Wii sports + Wii Play + Zelda + Red Steel + Monster 4x4 World Circuit + Super Monkey Ball.

 

Full Price = £379.94......Saving of...= £24.94

 

 

I am officially tempted by the last one.

(BTW this is if Wii Play is £39.99, just doing it to that, if its £35.99 then I'll update it...not, its only -4 you can do it.)

 

If i were to go for number 4, and keep Monster ..in its wrapper, sealed, i could get a refund couldnt I?

 

If im right, the last bundle is the only one you actually get a discount in, im pretty sure wii play is £35, but im not sure if thats the online retail price or not.

 

EDIT: It just occured to me..the launch games may be £45. So if this is true, there is a saving but its also very expensive for the Wii.

Games have an RRP of £40, apart from a few of them, WiiPlay being one, which is £35. I think another one is £20-25.

aha thankyou. Is there anyway... Will I just have to trade it back in again for less money?

If so im not bothered, as i dont want the game and money is nice.

 

Yes. At a guess a £40 game would trade in for £20-25, maybe up to £28.

 

Gotta sit through a boring lecture, and then do a presentation then go home and get my Wii. Yay.

I got a letter from GAME saying that I have secured a Wii for launch day, now just waiting for that phone call.

I just have 1 essay to write for wednesday which is lucky meaning I have hundreds of hours before my next exam :D

Just bin into my GAME where I preordered on 27/9

They have told be I will get one on Friday although refused to tell me how far down the list I was.

 

They are opening at 7AM which is a slight disappointment as I really enjoyed their GameCube midnight launch.

 

Also no preorders for games or accessories as 'we are getting almost none in'

 

Hope that is useful to someone

Hmm well id be happy with £28. I could get madden or something.

I've found out that my maths exam is about an hour and a half. So I'll finish 15 minutes earlier. I'll go at 1 and get to GAME at half past. Then go home and play my Wii. :D

Oh SHITE

 

I just had a missed call from GAME and now I cant get thru to them......

 

EDIT:

 

 

WOOP_DE_FUCKIN_DOOOOOOOOO!!

 

Rang them back and I have invited to their midnight launch to collect my guaranteed Wii+Zelda+RedSteel+Nuncuk+Remote!!!!

 

He said if I dont get to the midnight launch they'll hold it until Sunday evening for me and if I dont collect it by then they'll sell it off on Monday!

 

I'm so happy right now!

Just been to game, sold my GameCube and some games I will never touch again for £30. (which if fine for stuff that will get shoved somewhere and forgotten about).

 

Pre-ordered Super Monkey Ball and a nunchuck (I've already pre-ordered Zelda, Red Steel and Wii Play)...luckily they could read my code (it's faded quite a lot..but It's readable). They jotted down all my pre-order games. They said I'll get a phone call in the next few days.

 

Which means I'm paying £291 on Friday (with student discount on the non-bundle stuff).

Keep the faith my friend.

 

I just want an email off them saying that my debit card has now been charged just incase I have put the wrong details in.

 

My Game order is secure as I ordered a game in the same order as my Wii so I know my details are correct there.

Yeah, still it's a shame they're not going to do the classic send stuff out on Wednesday that they usually do with games. :wink:

Would've been nice to get it on Thursday.

 

The extra 24 hours might actually kill me. :heh:

Yeah I wish Gameplay was more like Play.com or Amazon in that respect. Having to type in your details every time is a bit annoying.

And by the way, they said they did have RGB cables in.

Great news this is. Cheers for posting up.

I did that with my GBA pre-order a few years back. On the day before release, I was told in no uncertain terms that I would not be getting one as I entered my card details incorrectly :cry:. That was a bit out of order I thought.

I had no letter from GAME about my Wii. I was worried I wouldn't be getting it for x-mas. But yesterday they rang saying my Wii is safe and to pick it up on the 8th :D:D:D

 

But then my mum is gunna wrap it up ready for x-mas. :(

They seem to ring at random, just ring them and ask, they should confirm it. Apparently, all pre-orders of the Wii itself will be fulfilled (at least in my store), but software is first come, first served.
