Teppo Holmqvist Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Awesome news for Nintendo!! "It is too expensive!" "Nobody isn't going to buy it on that price!" "Nintendo is d00m3d!11!1!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiter Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 It is good news. I'm currently keeping my eyes peeled on Amazon.co.uk and Gameplay, and have e-mail alerts for them. I've already got a preorder on Play.com, but I want to see if they have better/equal prices, plus they'll have choice of postage so maybe there'll be a better chance of a preordered Wii arriving on launch day. I just hope they don't start and then sell out while I'm at work. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeldaFreak Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I know we can state this but do we actually have a number to put to this, or have they simply realised that they should stop in case they don't get enough and have said its 'unavailable' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teppo Holmqvist Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 well ill probably just wander down my local store and buy it.. I'm actually going to do that, as local supermarket always gets more consoles on launch than there is actual demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stefkov Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 well Gamestation are already preordering, i dont see how, but i went in to hand in my application form for them and there were signs everywhere, and those big letters printed on a sheet of A4 each , preorder your wii now. deposit of £20. Still waiting for GAME though, as its closer to me, and i have £15.15 on my card.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kazzahdrane Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 well Gamestation are already preordering, i dont see how, How do you mean you don't see how? We're taking pre-orders, you get a console. It's very simple. GAME just wait because they screwed in a lot of stores with the 360 pre-orders and took WAY too many. Whereas Nintendo are going to have loads of units available. My store has already taken 43 pre-orders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destiny Blade Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 i dont wanna make my move before the bundle offers kick in but i may not have much choice, i may have to look at what kind of bundles game and gamestation are doing at the moment for other consoles and just guess damn it!

harribo Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 i went into game on saturday and they said they are not taking preorders till they know what allocation they have so it will be a few weeks before they take preorders. damn it i want to pre-order. Did they not ask for a name and number to inform you when you can prorder one cos they did for me and I was number 5 on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameboy Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Well I've preordered at play on saturday night.I honestly don't think there will be a problem i.e massive shortages I reckon plenty of the stores that sell them that aren't games stores will sell them. comet, currys, supermarkets (supermarkets may not even have preordering in place in the same way as game etc...), WHSmith. i used to work for WHSmith actually and we only did 2 preorders when the gamecube came out, one of them was me! but we actually got 15 consoles in. and thats even at a store that doesn't particularly have a big games department, one corner of the store.

So i didnt see how shops would be pre-ordering already, when they could over-preorder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
