Rummy Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I've had that constantly excited feeling for a while now, probably since I played one, although it subsided over the weekend. It came back last night though, I dreamt it was launch day already, but for some reason I was bringing my dad to buy it, and for some reason we spend ages faffing around at home, then we got half way there and I had to go back because I'd left my preorder reciept on my fridge. I don't remember actually managing to get to GAME in the end, or seeing/playing a wii. It's been featuring in my dreams over the last few days too though. Man, I must seem well sad, actually dreaming about the wii. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Librarian Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 yes just got a mail from the shop where i pre-ordred.. I wont get a Wii on release.. even though i was the first to preorder... so this probably means that the shop will get one or 2 wii's for promotion only.. what can I say FUCK NINTENDO!!!

Din Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Man, I must seem well sad, actually dreaming about the wii. Ha, I had one the other night! I got my Wii home and for some reason I had to assemble the console myself. After I had put it together it didn't come out looking like a Wii at all. I had actually managed to make a blender! Stupid dreams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been panicking for a while now thinking that the shop I preordered from would just sell the Wiis to their mates even though I ordered mine in September. Managed to get the girlfriend to go and work her charms on them & they have assured her she'll get one.

DUH. yes poor old nintendo who could only send 2 wii's to my shop so that they can call it a world wide launch and say "we sold out in 2 seconds... all 2 of them".. i just have to laugh at their advertisment countdown on their home page now... only so and so long until the wii arrives at your shop.. well ok.. it arrives... all 2 of them.. and then they are gone.. they should have pushed the launch if they only can manage this kind of ps3/xbox360 kinda launch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you obviously went to some dodgey village store that didn;t place a big enough order... my local game has received more than it's initial order, so your point about nintendo deliberately limiting supply is nonsense. I will spare a thought for you on the 8th though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Librarian Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I will spare a thought for you on the 8th though. at least thanks for that... Talked to the biggest store in my town today.. they get 14 Wii's.. far from enough to meet demand..(and he told me that they even had to fight for that gigantuan number) so even if I had ordered there.. no luck.. And fuck yes im bitter... if im very lucky the store where i ordered gets another shipment before christemas.. maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't live in a big city and even the smaller of our two branches of game is getting 50+ units. 2... there will be more on sale before xmas. 3... as the wii uses old tech, nintendo can crank these out at an amazing rate you'll get one soon enough. And if you go to non-specialist retaillers like woolies, currys, tesco, or argos on launch day i reckon you'll get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubahood Posted November 28, 2006 Author Share Posted November 28, 2006 Dramatic developments: In the past 25 hours I cancelled my Wii Play pre-order with play.com and changed it to game thought i'd pay the extra £2 at Game and be able to rest easy now that I know I will have a second controller at launch. But then I stumbled across a 5 pound voucher code which is J3PW74 so i cancelled my game pre-order of wii play then re-ordered with the code Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welsh_gamer Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Speaking of dreams I had one about the Wii last week, in which, after bringing my Wii Console Box home and opening it, discovered a Gamecube inside! You can imagine my disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stefkov Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I hope this doesnt become a habit. Last night I went to bed 15 minutes early, nothing was on tv. When trying to go to sleep i thought '9 days'. This made me want the wii even more. I hope it doesnt happen every night, need to keep my mind occupied elsewhere.

Accelra Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 It sometimes feels as though Europe are getting the left-overs doesn't it? My local GAME in Wood Green in London mentioned that consoles would be scarce on the ground in the 8th but they were getting in plenty of games and accessories. Could be bollocks though.
