The3rdChildren Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Looks like my Zeldamageddon tomorrow is going to be interrupted by a very early look around town for a component cable. Planning to send my dad and sister home with our Wii haul before loading myself with Red Bull and tackling the high street. Wish me luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The fish Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Haha, my nunchuck from play.com is being processed, but my Wiimote is still pre-ordered. Still, at least if I get an email saying I wont get a Wiimote off them, I can just go out and buy Wii Play. The reason I'm getting it from them instead of Wii Play is because I can get it for £24.99, and the nunchuck was only £12.99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I NEED COMPONENT CABLE! Seriously it will look really blurry on my LCD, i know it will. I'll be ok playing Zelda for the first few days via composite but i'd prefer to have a component cable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The3rdChildren Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 You wont get them. No shops will get them until Tuesday at the very earliest Plenty of NTSC-UK forumers are reporting Games and Gamestations in their town have Mad Katz component cables for £15 in stock for launch. I've given up going for the official one and resigned myself to a third party. Hell, I'd take anything better than composite right now. And even if I can't find a cable, at least I know I tried my very best. I want to cry!! With all this talk about shortages etc. I thought I'd call gamestation just to make sure, and they haven't got any wiimotes or wii plays!!!! Oh my god!!! Me and my mates have taken tomorrow off work and freed up all weekend to play wii and we cant even multiplayer!!!! I want to effing scream!!! Try other stores. You're bound to find something if you head into town just as the shops start opening. Good luck with your search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT most 'being picked' items have now left Gameplay supposadely. They really do keep saying that peoples order status will take AGES to change because it's slow etc.. and their REALLY busy! Don't worry if it says the samething at 2:00am, you should get one. : peace: IT'S WII-TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose we do have the respect the lingustics of something this HUGE! I'd much rather they hurried getting them out to people rather than wasting time updating my screen, although the anxiety is killing me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serebii Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I just worry I want my Wii dammit ZELDA DAMMIT. Best game series ever and 2nd Best game ever (2nd to Secret of Mana)...yes I prefer it to Pokémon...so sue me :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stocka Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 GRAH! Although I should get my order from Gameplay tommorow (it's being picked) I am not at home 11am-12:35pm, which is when the delivery is likely to come, and my mum has decided to selfishly go out somewhere for the day. I've wrote a note to put on my door, it says along the lines of 'if no-one is here when delivering a parcel please leave in the porch, if this is not possible please return at 12:35pm or after'. I'm very tempted to just not go to my a level lesson. Oh and play.com shortages mean I won't get Zelda from them: Dear Customer, Nintendo have just informed us of stock shortages on this item and we regret that as a result we will be unable to supply your pre-ordered product at launch As an Official distributor, Nintendo have guaranteed us more stock before Christmas and we will fulfil your order as soon as we can If you no longer wish to keep your pre-order with Play.com please login to your account and remove the item from your Outstanding Orders Please accept our apologies for any disappointment this may cause Kind Regards PLAY.COM I'll have to go into the city and pick it up tommorow/saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serebii Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 'tis a good thing that their closest depot to me is in Basingstoke. Not that far away so even if they send it out at 4am I'll still get it at 9 :p GRAH!Although I should get my order from Gameplay tommorow (it's being picked) I am not at home 11am-12:35pm, which is when the delivery is likely to come, and my mum has decided to selfishly go out somewhere for the day.
