Owen Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 Good job i didn't order anything. I'm pretty sure these orders wouldn't have gone through correctly.
Nintenchris Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 Mine did :heh: It went thro like all my other orders do and i had the email too!
wooks63 Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 Yep, I've have my order confirmation too!
Sprout Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 £550! Bloody hell... You really went to town, eh, Sprout? Well, around £600 now, I forgot to add Rayman, heh . Is it wrong of me to say I hope that those January dates are true (Battalion Wars, Mario Strikers, Mario Galaxy and FF Crystal Chronicles). I know it's doubtful, but if they are true, I know just what I want for my birthday. Evil smiley of doom! Why must you stop me in my quest for Wii!
Smiter Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 Mine too. I did have the Wii and Zelda disappear on me when I added the Wii Points card, but I put them back in and they've stayed. I've been checking the preorder in my account every 5 minutes, got the web number and e-mail confirmation. I cancelled everything at Play.com except for the extra controllers (cheaper). Fingers crossed! EDIT: lol, Sprout... and I worried about going near £400... Final order total comes in at £348 (I think), got some classic controllers on Play.com.

Mario Galaxy is released March-May Mario Strikers and Battalion Wars are released January-Febuary i reckon FF Crystal Chronicles is much later on. I think Nintendo will try to release a Nintendo game every month.
Smiter Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 YES! My preorder went through! Woo-hoo! Got a sales number now.
Sprout Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 I have to go to 2 hours of media studies now. Hopefully I can make my preorder afterwards. Boohoo nonetheless . Mario Galaxy is released March-MayMario Strikers and Battalion Wars are released January-Febuary i reckon FF Crystal Chronicles is much later on. Cheers. It's probably for the best I can't get all those games in January, I wouldn't be able to decide which one to play. Though I guess I'll be in a similar situation come launch day . lol, Sprout... and I worried about going near £400... Final order total comes in at £348 (I think), got some classic controllers on Play.com. Hmm, might just consider using Play for that. Though they messed up my Futurama DVD order before (I ordered season 4 and they gave me season 2. No refund either when I sent it back. Bah!)
Hero-of-Time Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 Im going on Live chat to see what the hell is going on. I can find the games but no consoles now.
Nintenchris Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 Im going on Live chat to see what the hell is going on. I can find the games but no consoles now. Let us know what they say will ya?
Hero-of-Time Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 Let us know what they say will ya? Will do, its taking ages to get through to them.
Nintenchris Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 Will do, its taking ages to get through to them. Nothing unusual then! Those guys who work over at Gameplay are great tho!
Pyxis Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 I would talk to you, but I dont have a login for live chat at the moment, sorry:) I think it would be a good bet to cancel those orders so that you guys can create a bundle when the bundle building option goes live..you will save quite a bit of money that way.

Whens it happening then? ive been waitin allllll dayyyyy and i cant wait too much longer... surely it isnt that hard to add a few things to the site.
darthbane2k Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 May I ask why the anticipation? What is so appealing about preordering your wii from Gameplay? The prices look pretty standard to me...
Hero-of-Time Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 K just got off talking to someone and heres what they said... The preorders aren't officially up yet. Those should be up later on today, check back in a few hours! SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON my friends.....very soon. EDIT: ITS ON THE SITE NOW!!!
Nintendork Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 £234, console, wii sports, controller, super monkey ball + 2000 virtual console points delivered hopefully a day or two early and in tact. Going to wait for the situation on the extra controllers/Wii Play bundle.. will probably buy them seperately on launch. No I'm not getting Zelda yet! Nintendo Wii Bundle» 1 x Nintendo Wii Console - White + Wii Sports » 1 x Super Monkey Ball - Banana Blitz » 1 x 2000 Wii Points Usually sent within a week 1 £234.97 ROFL ME LOFL
wooks63 Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 Has anyone managed to place an order and get a discount on their bundle? Just out of interest, I selected everything and still got discount of £0.00 Will just keep my original order I did this morning.
darthbane2k Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 Those of you pre ordering wii points and classic controllers should wait. I specifically remember a Nintendo Rep at the European event in ExCel say that there will be a points card which comes with a FREE classic controller in limited supply..
Nintendork Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 Pity the classic controller is shit. GC controller all the way.
darthbane2k Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 Pity the classic controller is shit.GC controller all the way. Well I dont know if its 'shit' but yes, certainly the Gamecube controller is better - however it is NOT wireless, I dont want cables trailing across my rather large living room. Yeah, I could use a wave bird, but then I'd have my Wii flap open and some ugly ass reciever sticking out of it...
Pyxis Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 I wasnt aware that there would be no discount, sorry about that guys. There have been like 500 orders in one hour. People who dont have a pre-order should start to worry..gosh!
Nintendork Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 500 orders that have been made by kids and people wanting to check out the price? or 500 credit cards that have actually been charged and finalised? Also I agree, the GameCube controller isn't wireless.. I'm gonna try and live with it for a month or two.. If I can't handle it being wireless I'll probably buy the classic controller or see what the third partys are doing. I think the layout is poor and it's too flat.
dabookerman Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 Im gonna cancel if there isnt any discounts.
