oh and dano, if your still looking for one on launch and have a 24hr asda near you, they are doing midnight launches, it would be worht a couple hours wait.

i was in talkiing to my mate in gamestation today also, he says they should be getting their wii's today

[Dano2k0]

Nice one mate, great to hear youve got confirmation on your pre-order, ive still got my pre-order with gamestation but haven't heard anything from the yet.

Although they have got my number and i belive are supposed to phone me when i can go in and collect mine, so hopefully it shouldn't be too long till i get a call and have some confirmation

Knowing my luck it'll all go to pot and i'll end up without.

Cheers for the heads up on the asda, i might have a trip there.

Do you get wii sports with all the gamestation pre-orders do you know? i forgot to ask when i pre-orded mine.

Cheers

you get wii sports with every wii regardless of where you purchase it, i believe it comes in a crappy sleeve or something though and not a box, unless you live in Australia, they're getting a box  

[SR388]

lol, yea, just a cardboard sleeve

anybody else in the uk get one?

dano?

[Dano2k0]

Alright Grim mate,

Nah still aint got mine but i did go in and see them and make sure they are keeping on top of things for me and they said they'll have it in this week and i can collect it, so i should have it within the next few days really. So i should deffinatly have it for christmas, although its abit of a last minute push when its getting this close lol.

No worries anyway, if i get it this week i'll be pretty happy with that, and its sounding promising so everything should be good to go this week.

Oh and what you reckon to the wii? is it as good as its actually hyped up to be? i mean alot of people are truely amazed by wii sports and reckon its very acurate in terms of control etc.

PS to the guy above, i agree places like that are ideal for trying to get one, thats where i was going to head if i wasn't guranteed to get one before christmas.

Cheers mate

Yeah it's really cool, lives up to all the hype.

Be warned though, me and my mate played sports together all Saturday night, come Monday morning i could barely do anything at work because my shoulder was so sore

Aside from the painful muscles it really is good. Ive only got Zelda but its brilliant, hope to pick up most titles out for it when i get paid before Xmas.

you will love it mate.

Oh yeah i forgot to mention, the shop i got my wii from only got 12 in on morning of release, luckily me and my buddy are regulars so they held them for us, but damn..12.

[Dano2k0]

Nice one mate, i'm happy to have some UK confirmation its actually that good.

I should be getting my wii this week, i was told in gamestation they'd have it in this week and will be in touch with me, so if they don't i'll be in the shop and really will kick up a fuss, they promised me i'd have it this week so they'd better be sure on that or there will be trouble.

Anyway in the meantime i have been to quite a few shops.. and found most shops that sell games and accessories are pretty much out of stock on everything, even online retailers in the UK seem to be having a hard time meating demand on this stuff.

However i got lucky and went into my local Game, where they had recently had a delivery of stuff so i bought some bits ready, i got need for speed carbon, and rayman raving rabbids, aswell as the wii play pack with another controller so it should all be good to go providing gamestation stick to their word.

Oh and as a side note for the UK guys, ive been informed most ASDA stores are getting some in tomorrow, should be in for 9am so you might want to try your luck, i know two that are nearby are getting a good few, i belive the really big store nearby is getting near 100 units, and a smaller store here is getting 20 odd or something so you might very well be in luck, which makes me feel abit safer if they are getting these numbers then surely gamestation are getting a good few too?  

Cheers

[Dano2k0]

Nah sorry mate, don't know of anywhere else to get one at the moment, around here they are sold out bad time, after christmas you should get one quite easy if its no big deal to you.

Oh and on the good side of news, i have finally collected my wii so i am now a proud owner
