Recommended Posts

Very pleased that I changed my Wiiplay order from Play to Game. Not sure if anyone remembers but I found out I could save myself a fiver with Game and guarentee it for launch this was about a week and a half ago. I got a bit of stick from people saying I was silly etc and my chances of getting it were slim but hoorah it got posted this morning

Well ive got some mixed news:

 

*Red Steel should be arriving today from Play.com

*Amazon have dispatched Zelda:TP via Royal Mail Special Delivery

*The Wii console has not been sent out yet, though

*PC World are processing my Wii Nunchuk orders now

*However they also made a big blunder, My order of 2 Wii Remotes just turned into 2 orders of Wii Play instead. Ive had to cancel that. The fools... Now I have to go out and try to find 2 Wii Remotes tommorow.

I've just checked my PCWorld order. My 2 remotes have become 2 Wii Plays and my Wii Play has become a Wii Remote. However, the prices have stayed the same as prior to this change. As long as I don't get charged any extra, I don't mind as I'll still end up with what I wanted (albeit with an extra copy of Wii Play).

 

***Edit*** Just checked the email confirmations I received this morning for these orders and they are correct as 1 Wii Play and 2 Remotes. I suspect that it's just the web site that's a bit screwed up.

damn u people who have already had their amazon orders dispatched.Mine hasn't, guess it does take awhile for them to get through them all, so peoples will be sent out before others.

 

went to my local gamestation store today and behind the counter they had hundreds of zeldas, its only a small store so dont reckon they will be getting as many preorders, so theres stilll hope yet to snag a copy.

For anyone waiting for stuff from hmv, They will not be dispatching anything till tomorrow. Just phoned them and they said they havent recieved anything from the suppliers and will recieved everything tomorrow.

 

So I wont be getting Zelda or Need for speed till about tuesday. I will have to see what games I can get from Game in the morning when I pick up my console.

Agh apparently even though I was promised a console on day 1, and I haven't had an apology email in the past day, I still won't get my Wii from GamePlay until next week. I'm ringing around stores in Nottingham but one said they had 8 orders to one console. It's not looking good.

You are the man. Wow, having no pre-order has now brought up so many options. If I can get it at midnight, then I don't think I'll bother with my WHSmith one now.

 

Cheers again for posting this up.

im thinking about cancelling with play.com:( i still dont know whats going on... my order status is preordered when i made the initial order agggess ago what you guys think??

 

Well even if they post it today, there's no way you'll get it tomorrow unless you live in Jersey.

 

However, seeing the shortages there are, I think you're best off keeping your order until either you get one elsewhere, or they dispatch it.

All you guys should have just preordered in the shops rather than online. Why worry about delivery when you can just pick one up whenever you want + being able to call someone up from a small store as opposed to a multinational like Amazon or play.

Yeah, it will sit as being picked until around 5pm today. I've noticed items going next working day only being 'compete' once we have met our cut off time for despatching items. Theres nothing to worry about.:)

 

Being picked means that your order has already been put onto a picking list in our distribution centre. The online servers can be a bit slow in updating aswell.

Just called Game and got a bit of unfortunate news. No, Wii is still coming tomorrow... just the component cable isn't. Composite Cryday it is, then.

 

To summarise, this is what I have put in my bag:

 

- Wii + Wii Sports

- Zelda

- Wii Play

- Monkey Ball

 

My sister has

 

- Wii + Wii Sports

- Zelda

- Wii Play

 

 

Really gutted about the Component cable situation and Play Asia letting me down, but hopefully Zelda is still playable. There's always the CRT in the living room afterall.
