Hi James if your Wii is still available I might be interested could you tell me how old it is, did you buy it from new, have the packaging etc and how much you want for it?

Regards

Run this all day long in your browser and be prepared to order at the speed of light.

http://www.wii-consoles.co.uk/wii_console_realtime...

It scans lots of websites stock and auto-updates every 60 secs. It pops up a warning if stock is found

I set up 1-click-ordering on Amazon and created accounts on all the major websites to enable me to checkout faster.

New stock is usually sold out in under 2 minutes on every site.

After a week of 'failures' and 'almosts'. I managed to order on from PCWorld this afternoon.

It's not even for me either. It's for a neighbours kids!

Good luck!

I know it's a bit naughty but you can buy argos reservations on E-bay for about a tenner. Personally I hate the fact that people are making money out of it, but hey it's gotta be worth a tenner to kepp the kids happy at christmas!!

HTH,

Sorry, but £328 for £180 console is just rampant profiteering - not even convinced they have them in stock given the message about a delivery due on the 24th frown

No, that is taking the piss I am afraid. I managed to get mine ages ago with a load of games. But nearly £150 more than the RRP is far too much. They werent the first and they wont be the last.

Wow!! It has gone up since i looked earlier today. It was 'only' £292 then.

And yes they have got them. I ordered one earlier for a 'more money than sense' friend and it has been despatched according to their tracking system.

There was an article on BBC news about the lack of Wiis. Apparently there are plenty available in Germany, and many online stores will deliver to the UK for not too much.

Sounds like rampant profiteering in rip-off Britain again...
