fatnickc Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 i preodered mine form gamestation about 4 days after the launch date was announced but forgot to ask where abouts i was on the list so i may give them a ring tommorow and see if i am getting one on launch I preordered the Sunday after the date was announced (on the Friday) and also forgot to ask where I was in the list, so I'd be interested to know if they can tell me.

Gamestaion is right by my opticians so im going to go and ask about stock allocations, and maybe ask about bundles too.. I'd still be able to cancel my Red Steel order from play.com right?

wooks63 Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 does anyone know if virgin take deposits instore? might pop in there and get another back up preorder tomorrow. I went into Virgin last night on the way home and was told that they had just, earlier on in the day, filled all of their allocated pre-orders - Virgin had been allocated 1000 units. Was told that there might be a 2nd allocation in a week or so's time. So it looks like I'm just going to have to rely on PCWorld delivering.

wooks63 Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I pre-ordered from pcworld.co.uk yesterday. Hopefully they have enough stock to fill demand. I notice that on the PCWorld web site they now have a message saying: "PRE ORDERING DOES NOT GUARANTEE YOU WILL GET A NINTENDO WII ON DAY OF LAUNCH. WE WILL ENSURE WE GET A WII TO YOU AS SOON AS STOCK AVAILABILITY ALLOWS." When I went into PCWorld yesterday, they were not taking any more pre-orders, so I think you'll be very lucky to get one on launch day if you only pre-ordered yesterday. I pre-ordered mine from pcworld.co.uk on the 27th September, so hopefully this was early enough to get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domo Kun Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I haven't pre-ordered. Am I doomed? Where should I preorder if I want one in time for Christmas? I swear I remember hearing they'd have loads of stock... Hmmf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jordan Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Gameplay.com have never let me down before... lets hope they don't for launch. I got my pre order in within the first hour. But as i learned from the 360 launch, that really doesn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus they told me they won't ship them until 5 days after 8th December. They def won't ship til 5 days later? Their FAQ's state Pre-Orders will reach you on the first day to market. PCWorld deals are great but I have to admit I'm glad my 'back-up' order at Game is confirmed now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The notice is so big and obvious I know I would have seen it. Suspect it's gone on since their initial allotment of Wii's has been taken up.

Jasper Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Yes. twentyseven days to go. My pre-order is pretty much guaranteed so yey! Everything is set to go. Now let's fix the television my brother broke so I can play through the night without having to stop for my parent's wanting to watch their soap or National Geographic (they alwalls fall asleep in front of that one, but changing channels is not an option, they awake as soon as you do so). I'm almost ready to go. I can't wait... Oh, and where did the countdown timer go to? It was ugly as hell, but it helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiter Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Got an e-mail from Amazon this morning: Get ready for a revolution in video gaming--Nintendo Wii is coming! If you're into gaming as much as we are, then December 8, 2006 will no doubt be etched into your brain as the day that Nintendo launches their Wii console in the UK. Well, we've got another date for you: Tuesday, November 21, 2006. This is the day Amazon.co.uk will start taking pre-orders for the Wii. I'm not preordering from them, but I thought others might like to know the date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
