Posted November 22, 2006 Does anyone know if GAME will be getting the Wii RGB Cable in? I need to know, because i'll order it online if they're not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 22, 2006 Interesting, but don't they still have lots of preorders left to fill? As for the RGB cable, can't you just wait and see? I don't see it hurting to use the included cable for a few days if you have to order one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 22, 2006 Yeah, i could wait, but it's always nice to have it straight away. I would go and ask them, but that requires walking into town. And i can't be bothered today Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 22, 2006 Does anyone know if GAME will be getting the Wii RGB Cable in? I need to know, because i'll order it online if they're not. Pretty sure... I posted a list of all our accessories in either the Pre-order or Game thread, go find it. Speaking of the Game thread, I also mentioned Game are getting three between launch and xmas (including launch obviously) in there about a week back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 22, 2006 hey ash have game confirmed a midnight launch yet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 22, 2006 hey ash have game confirmed a midnight launch yet? It depends on the individual one. Each store has to get "permission" from: - Town/City council - GAME themselves. I know my store is trying to get a midnight launch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 22, 2006 I was late with my preordering, but yesterday Gamestation said they could deffinately get me one for the 18th December. I've put down twenty squid with them, so they'd better be telling the truth. So, get yourself to Gamestation! It's a shame I won't be getting a Wii untill 10 days after launch though...

Posted November 22, 2006 hey ash have game confirmed a midnight launch yet? It depends on the individual one. Each store has to get "permission" from: - Town/City council - GAME themselves. I know my store is trying to get a midnight launch. Plus decide if its worth the cost. If you're only getting in enough stock to fill pre-orders there would be no point. You have to think of the cost of rent; electric; salaries (unscociable hours means time and a half I believe, maybe a third if they're stingy. never done a midnight at Game), police (they at least have to be aware, I doubt they charge but its an added hassle at the end of the day) and all that kinda stuff. Its not a general "yes we'll do it", its each to their own. Ours won't be. I'd imagine most in large shopping centres will be. At a guess the...six? (I suck at geography. London, Birmingham, Newcastle, Birmingham etc) major cities will be the only ones with midnight openings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 22, 2006 Just thought I should say that the guy at the shop I'm pre ordering at said they were getting 7 Wii on the 8th and they would be getting some more the week after Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 22, 2006 GameStation can also give you a Wii for xmas if you pre-order with them online or instore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 22, 2006 I heard 21st of December for the second shipment... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 22, 2006 its not really giving you a wii before christmas since you still need to pay for it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 22, 2006 when the hell is the seccond shipment going to be avalible for sale? I think I read somewhere that the 2nd shipping of consoles should be with retailers by the 12th of december. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 22, 2006 its not really giving you a wii before christmas since you still need to pay for it You don't pay for it until you pick it up. At GAME and Gamestation you pay a £20 deposit, then the rest when you get it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
