Elaborate on buggered please.

 

I cant wait. Going to bed early on Tommorow night, getting up at half 6 on Friday, going to GAME, getting it. Coming home then going to college. Then coming back homet o play some Wii sports before I go to my grandparents.

Always happens that I can never have a day off to play something ireally want/a new release.

I'm in Tamworth as well. What's happened did you place a preorder at a Tamworth Store and it's not ready for launch date or did you preorder online?

 

It's a long shot but you try what I'm going to do which is drive down to ASDA Tamworth at Midnight and see if they have any WII in stock. I've already been confirmed I'm getting a Wii from GAME but I wanna try and score a cheaper Nunchuck if possible from the ASDA store.

 

You could also try, Comet/Currys and BIG W at the Ventura Retail site as well?

Lol. That comes across very funny! I don't think I would want to read an answer to that. :D

Lol, uum :heh: I just want to know why he said they are buggered, they're broke? Is that what he meant.

Yeah, those couple hours I have in college will be hell. At least I will have some time to read the manuals at my grandparents. Otherwise I wont have a chance.

Hmm I might give it a go, offered my dad £20 to drive me down there. Unlikely that I'll get one but I might give it a go. Things like this always fucking happen to me. Is it worth turning up early? Where's the first place in Asda I should head?

 

I'm guessing my Gameplay order is fucked then, cus mine still says pre ordered. :'( I'm seriously gutted.

I went in to Game in Bristol earlier today and the manager there said that he'd had enough Wii's in to cover his whole 'first batch pre-order shipment' and had actually received enough to cover some 'second batch' pre-orders on launch too... this is interesting considering some companies (gameplay/argos etc) are unable to fulfill them all due to supply problems. Game really do appear to have the buying power. Pity their prices are so bloody steep.

My local game stoer managed to get my pre-order secured. They're getting 27 Wii's and exactly the same amount of Zelda's. They are having trouble getting extra Wiimotes and Wiimotes with Wii Play, but if I'm not the first who ordered, I'm probably the second so I'll be playing Wii Play too. Good news...

 

By the way, opinion about 'go away thread' not changed. Just posting that all game mania's in Belgium have received their allocation number today and will receive their Wii's tomorrow or friday morning. The real countdown has begun...

Owen, you should be fine.

 

All the stock simply didnt arrive when Gameplay were expecting it to (today). They are sending out 10 pound vouchers to everybody affected and if you havent received an email yet, you should be fine.

 

If your order is still down as 'ordered' by noon tomorrow, i'd suggest making sure that your card has gone through properly.:)

Well as tempting as it can be to head to the frozen foods section, I'd suggest you head upstairs to the electric dept and see if Any Wii's are about.

 

LMAO I know I asked my dad and he said upstairs in the electrical bit, totally forgot there was an upstairs to Asda :D

 

Phoned Asda btw if you were interested, and they said they're getting some in but they have no idea as to how many, I've said to my dad either drive me or I'm walking (I'm desperate...). Could be an utter waste of time. Have you been to any other console launches? How busy does it get?
