Nintenchris Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 I have one ordered at Gameplay aswell and its still not moving. Funny thing is isnt Gameplay owned by Game? So surely they should send them out at the same time? Exactly.... well now im sitting in the queue of 18 people to see what Gameplay have to say for themselfs... i will let you know what they say.
Flunx Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 For the first time in 1,5 years I'm glad to be living in this little shitty place called Narvik. I went to my local electronics shop and looked for the Wii. Nothing to be found, not even a poster or a note. So I asked the guy behind the counter if they were planning to get any Wiis at all? He checked his computer and told me that they were getting 8 Machines in on Friday. Oh joy! Nobody had preordered or anything so I told him to hold one off for me just to be safe. Other than that they were getting 1 copy of NFS:Carbon and 4 copies of Zelda:TP. So I told him to hold off a copy of Zelda for me aswell. Hooray for me and Narvik!
m_fergy Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 I just find it a little annoying that some sites are like "But its not out till friday and we wont brake street date" when they can clearly send it out early because the other sites are doing it already. Its like when Wind Waker came out... someone broke street date and i went to Game and picked it up a day early... on the thursday. Well whats the point in a website saying the Wii is shipped when you wont get it till fri anyway ? Every game I have got from Gamplay I got it a day early so they always break the street date I prob wont get my Wii games early this time because they will come with the Wii
Nintenchris Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 Well whats the point in a website saying the Wii is shipped when you wont get it till fri anyway ? Well you know as well as i do that if they Ship today... which they have from Game that people should get them tomorow or Wednesday.
m_fergy Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 Well you know as well as i do that if they Ship today... which they have from Game that people should get them tomorow or Wednesday. From Gameplay staff member: Indeedy, despatching on Thursday with Parcel Force to arrive Friday between 9am and 6pm We will be charging cards and putting the packages together on Tuesday and Wednesday so you may receive an email about despatch then, but it won't actually leave until Thursday And so what if you get the game early ? what are you going to do with it ? NO one will get there Wii before fri
Nintenchris Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 Just wait until tomorow or wednesday when people who orderd from Game.. or HMV or Woolworths are saying they have there Wii... and who said about getting a game early?
david.dakota Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 I suppose you can't complain about not receiving a Wii early, since you should only be expecting it on Friday. Just a shame we can't have a Wii Wii-nesday.
flameboy Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 I suppose you can't complain about not receiving a Wii early, since you shouldnt. HOwever, the spiteful amongst us might call Nintendo! I'm not complaining about getting it early just worried about amazon not doing anything yet!
darthbane2k Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 I'm not complaining about getting it early just worried about amazon not doing anything yet! Dont worry Flameboy. Amazon will use parcelforce24 to ship your wii on 7th december. You WILL get it on December 8th, mark my words.
BGS Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 Wooo HMV finally confirmed that I'll be getting a Wii at launch! Only problem is that they're not having a midnight launch like I thought they were Got 2 hours of lectures at nine on Friday then 2 more at 1 and then my girlfriend arrives for the weekend at 3. She said she doesn't mind if I just play Wii but I know she'll be in a grump if I do even a little bit. It pretty much means I'll only have 1 and a half hours of solid Wii time before Monday - Nooooo! Preordered: Twilight Princess, Wii:Play, extra nunchuck and a classic controller. I think that'll do fine for now
flameboy Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 Dont worry Flameboy. Amazon will use parcelforce24 to ship your wii on 7th december. You WILL get it on December 8th, mark my words. Hope so, hope its early aswell, gotta make the 2 hour round trip to work to pick up my other bits and bobs...
Pyxis Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 Yeah, Gameplay doesnt really exist anymore. There is just Customer Services and thats about it.
Nintenchris Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 Yeah, Gameplay doesnt really exist anymore. There is just Customer Services and thats about it. Top notch Customer Services i might add!

I think that'll do fine for now Lucky for me that i preordered mine at Gamestation in the Arndale and they ARE doing a midnight opening. so i should be home (by picadilly station ish) for about 12.30am on friday morning playing Zelda hopefully by 1.30am cos i wanna play Wii Sports first the only lectures i have are 2 hours of Japanese at 10 and then a Genes, Evolution and Development lecture at 1 which i might skip :p
Jackster Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 When you say the Wiis will only be dispatched on Thursday and no one will get their Wii until Friday between 9am and 6pm, this is only for people who bought online right? There's still a chance I could pick up my Wii on Thursday?
rokhed00 Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 Just checked mine and the console and Zelda have been DISPATCHED from Game aswell. BRING IT ON!!!!!!!! My order with Game.co.uk has gone from pending this morning to despatched wohoo bring on Wiiday! I think you'll find if you check the order tracking (where you have to put your order number in) rather than the orders status you'll find it's still being picked and packed.
Fresh Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 My Wii better come on the 8th. My order stats is currently "Pre-order, on hold". I assume that means that I'm getting one and they are just holding it until the release to dispatch.
Guest Stefkov Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 No phone call today form GAME about anything. I hope they do phone. I'd like to know bundles, if any.
Moz La Punk Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 I'm from the Netherlands and I havent pre-ordered one... anyone recon I will still be able to get one Friday? I think I'll stand in front of a Free Record Shop around 5 am... would that be all it takes?
Alan77 Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 I just rang PCWorld about my pre-order (online) to be told it won't be dispatched until 8/12!! This had better be a mistake by their sales guy. I wouldn't care as I am also picking one up on launch from Game (for my Sis - but maybe mine now!! ) but the problem is I ordered a bundle from PCWorld and the games will be delayed if true.... and I'll be sitting around with only WiiSports on launch day... how shit. Anyone else heard something different from them??

fatnickc Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 So Gamestation haven't phoned me back to confirm they got the preorder moved after the calamity of Saturday. I'll phone them if they don't phone in the next 20 minutes.
Sheikah Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 the only lectures i have are 2 hours of Japanese at 10 and then a Genes, Evolution and Development lecture at 1 which i might skip :p I have Gene Expression at 1pm...what other units do you do at Manchester?
