Default Wii update... big thanks to Crabby

it looks like most places are being sneaky with this now...
Gamestation online has them ready to sell, click on the listing (£179) and whn you go to checkout it informs you that you can't buy it on its own, you have to buy it as part of a package/combo

Game are the same, suddenly they can't get hold of just the Wii and Wii sports package, but they can sell me the package that's nearly £400

Doesn't look good for getting one before Xmas now

A friend of mine saw them in stock in Game in Milton Keynes but the guy there said you could only buy in a bundle at £280 and was quite snotty about it basically its that or fuck all....... She phoned their head office and complained, they phoned said store and they told their own head office the same which wasn't company policy. Customer services arrange a Wii to be delivered to her loacl store for £179.99...... Funny thing is I picked 1 up wednesday for her last week and she also got 1 saturday as they phoned her friday saying her Wii was in the store awaiting collection....lol

i was in game near me yesterday and they had the packages there for sale i felt sorry for the sales assistant as they were getting quite a bit of grief about this

The problem is they have no control over what nintendo send them and the combo boxes are sent to them pre packaged by nintendo so they cant split them.

WII's IN STOCK THIS WEEK!!! Check out ya local shops and yep most places are only selling them as £400 packages. Thats cause not much profit on consoles alone, so make more cash on games due to the demand of the console.

DS's are going into shops slowly. I know a few were delivered and sold over the weekend!

Wii's are apparently in this week (In BIG quantities).

Apparently Nintendo have been accused of creating a demand for the consoles and held them back to swoop the market at the last minute!! (Rumour Ive heard)
