European Wii Preorders

Recommended Posts

Out of interest, when did you pre-order with Argos? I did mine on 8/11/06 after Play.com mailed me telling me I wouldn't get mine for launch.

 

I recieved an automated answerphone message earlier on in the week telling me i'd get mine from Argos today...but I'm still paranoid. :heh: They said anytime from 7am to 6pm. Aghhh...

 

I ordered on the 8th as well! Didn't have an order with Play, but that was the day everyone was talking about play not being able to fill orders and my panic set in ;)

 

A guy off another forum ordered on 16/11 and he got the call the other day as well saying he'd get it on friday. I wasn't in when we got the call but my girlfriend said it was between 8am and 6pm?

Ahh, maybe I mis-heard the message. It was either 7 or 8, lol. I've been up since 7 anyhow doing some Uni work.

 

I read somewhere that they are using a courier company called HDNL to carry out the deliveries, but as we don't have tracking numbers, it's useless.

 

I just hope it comes early-ish! :bouncy:

some amusement while where waiting

 

"Heba Elgamal, who had been camping outside the store in an alley for two days, was first in line for a console at the HMV store, and it was presented to him by Ian Wright. Elgamal bought The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess with his purchase, and Wright asked him if Zelda was a fighting game--which didn't go down well with the crowd."

 

ahh bless him

My biggest worry is that they deliver the console, but not Zelda.

 

Or even worse, they don't deliver anything at all. I really don't have any patience...

 

Surely your biggest worry is if they deliver Zelda, but not your console lol!:cry:
