Retro_Link Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Hopefully they'll just do a Twilight Princess bundle, cause i've ordered my other games using the HMV 15% discount code Yeah same, I just want Zelda from GAME at launch, so I think I'll pre-order it from them tomorrow (and then can get it in a bundle if there is one or if it works out cheaper). I've used the 15% HMV code aswell. Hopefully there will be a GAME bundle with Zelda and an extra Wii-mote and Nunchuck or something similar; I've got quite alot of points on my GAME card that I didn't know about and they told me about the other day!

Eddage Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Well I went all out with the HMV offer and pre-ordered an extra controller and nunchuck, as well as the classic controller (since it worked out to be about £11 or something) so that means I'll have three at launch, maybe I'll splash out on a fourth if they do a controller bundle! Just means even more dunken multiplayer fun on the 15/16th! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatnickc Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Has anyone heard from GameStation yet?Not yet, no. I preordered about 32 hours after preorders started, so I'm fairly safe. When a friend of mine preordered there about three weeks ago, he was told it was fairly unlikely he would get one this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGS Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 I went into HMV today asking if I'll be getting a Wii at launch. They said they couldn't tell me but they'd only had about 100 pre orders and they reckon they should get that amount in at least so WOO for me. Although, does only 100 preorders = no possibility of a midnight launch? This is the main HMV in Manchester city center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, does only 100 preorders = no possibility of a midnight launch? This is the main HMV in Manchester city center. thats a good question. How many pre-orders do they have to take before they can do a midnight launch. When I go and pick up that pack which we GAME preorderers got info about, I'm gonn ask about a midnight launch. Plus preorder some games, if i get double points then great, less tospend on later in the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haden Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 I asked the gamestation guy today if I was gonna get one for launch. Im 41 in Staines. And he said I should do they were expecting more than 50. So yay I guess! Then again he said they could get like 10... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan77 Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 All i know is that they havent told anyone if there gonna get one on launch yet.. but if you pre-orderd awhile ago you should be ok. Yeah I got in there pretty early so I'm hopeful and I've got a Game pre-order as back-up but I do find it annoying as it seems the online retailers are fairly reluctant to give firm details (prob trying to keep trade) and I would like at least a bit of warning either way so I know whether to head down to the Midnight Launch at Game! I guess we'll hear something soon enough - even if it isn't until they issue a dispatch/tracking number!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramar Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Might go into gamestation tomorrow to see if they know whether how many units they will receive. They said to check a month before hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorty Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I pre-ordered mine from HMV. Anyone know how they are with deliveries? I'm hoping to get it on the 8th, 9th or 11th (10th = Sunday) - but I won't hold my breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wooks63 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Has anyone pre-ordered from PCWorld online? or used them before? Has anyone got any info on their stock allocations etc? I ordered mine from PCWorld online. I noticed that my local PCWorld store has adverts up for pre-ordering so I went in there this lunchtime to see if I could change my order from on-line to in store. They weren't able to do that, I'd have to order in store and cancel my online order. BUT the guy checked with their stock department and came back saying that they weren't taking any more in store pre orders for the Wii. He also said that if all the on-line preorders were taken you wouldn't be able to order one. Not sure if this is bulls*** or not but if true, should mean that I'll definitely get one. Just one concern. Checking my order on-line I see that the delivery date says "Usually 5 - 7 working days after the release date". I hope that's not true! My local Virgin (store )have just the other day put up a sign for pre-orders, so I might pop in there on the way home to see if they can gaurantee me one.
