That Guy Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Sorry that guy. My order on amazon has changed to dispatching soon. Cheers man, there's really noway out of it this time. Gonna have to wait 2 weeks for my payment to go through then the item is going to be sent. An extra £150 for no reason, while Zelda and Monkey Ball sit here. Oh God.

The-Ironflame Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I couldn't sleep at all last night. I was hyped up as it's my first time buying a console at launch plus Zelda is my favourite game series ever. I picked it up this morning with Wii play, Monkey ball and Zelda. Though unfortunately GAME ran out of nunchuks so I had buy one from WHSmiths. I had to carry a bloody heavy bag round town while I searched for any sign of Official Component cables for nothing.

nstream Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I feel for ya! If mine doesn't ship on time Amazon will more than likely receive more stock before xmas as one of the largest suppliers in the uk, mine is my Xmas pressie and I have no intention of playing it till Xmas, it will bring back memories of opening my NES and SNES respectively on yuletide day, playing till xmas dinner then playing them constantly till 9am boxing day.

Spark Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 So is there any charger pack for this remote or am I gonna keep having to buy batteries for it because that could get expensive very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zyneth Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Mine is 2 weeks from now... God I'm thick as pig shit. There's a bright side to it. Two weeks from now when the 'newness' has worn off for everyone, you will get to anticipate your Wii and play on it for the first time. At least, that's how I'm forcing myself to look at it. I have to wait at least a week for mine to arrive as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Guy Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I've just recieved an email from Gameplay (this after I've tried to cancel my order and have bought one from ebay like a retard) that Nintendo have offered me afree game to make up for not getting the console. Sounds great, but the only ones I ever wanted were Monkey Ball and Zelda, and I already own both. Can't complain about getting Red Steel for free though, although I'm not sure if I'll get it having cancelled my order. There's a bright side to it.

I have to wait at least a week for mine to arrive as well. I'd be ok with that if I hadn't paid £150 extra to get it off ebay for right now...

Sheikah Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I'm going to get a lift to Stoke tomorrow, ridiculous really. Why they couldn't drop it off at my local post office sorting office (it's huge and unmissable on the way to my house) I'll never know. Look at a 1 and a half total journey time (there and back). I'd be ok with that if I hadn't paid £150 extra to get it off ebay for right now... You're kidding, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyxis Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 With Gameplay, Nintendo are giving everybody who had their console delayed due to the shortages a free game of their choice + 10 pounds off with gameplay...thats 50 pounds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hicky45 Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 maybe itll be worth me ordering with them then:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Try the others m8 U got 3 Don't think I'd get away with unpacking them! Sometimes it's fine and never makes a sound. It's fine as long as you've got the disc in. Other times "Click click weee-whrrrrrr, weee-wrrrrrr, weee-wrrrrrr" all the time, long loading times followed by a disc read error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fields Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Well, my Amazon order seems to be successful. Dispatch date = 10th December, which is wierd. Surely they don't dispatch on sundays? Anyway, looks like I'll be getting it early next week Oh and for those in the know, what's the availability of Zelda like on the high street? Any chance of getting it before Christmas? I have the Gamecube version pre-ordered, but since it looks like I'm getting a Wii after all, it would be nice to cancel and get the Wii version instead.

JohnD Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Yo! Got my Wii hours ago and played lots of Wii Sports. I'll have a go with Zelda later. As with the other things, no update. I didn't bother going buying more stuff as i was having so much fun with my new toy. I'll see what the situation is tomorrow, i'll maybe buy at least a spare nunchuck then! Now, need food!

Sheikah Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Recieved my Wii and Zelda from Amazon today. <3 Parcelforce Admittedly their delivery was perfect. It must have been before 2pm. However, what they do if they don't deliver it is silly. The should have taken it to my sorting office, not Stoke depot - 35 miles away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth-Marximus Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Finally managed to secure a Wii (and we all know that feeling - Ahem... After a long and bitter trek from 24hr ASDA to 24hr Tesco's I finally bagged me some Wii action via the spur of the moment 3pm - 4pm Amazon restock sale today. All I can say is thanks god for 1-Click purchasing and the F5 key. You know I aint ever used that before - damn my weakness for Microsofts Intelimouse - damn it all to hell. Still can't believe I have finally seured one and for cheaper than retail thanks to some Amazon gift voucherage - yeah stick that ASDA! Wii est delivery 12-13th Dec for £176.98 Zelda & Red Steel est del = 14-15th Dec For everyone else still in Wii limbo - I feel your pain.....I suggest absorbing some of it by watching Wii vids on YouTube...it worked for me..
