US Wii: Preorder Details Thread

[Ouenben]

good stuff, btw anyone know vg+'s standpoint on 'broken' consoles i.e. the ones with the error messages?

I asked them they said you could send it back to them but they wouldnt pay/refund for postage and that they cant gurantee when replacements would be availble.

Hate to dampen everyone's spirits about Import Madness, but I too got a hold of Derek aroung 8pm tonight. Firstly, he told me that they got their shipment in on Friday (em, wasn't it Thursday), then he said they had loads of preorders to fulfill and mines was actually quite far down the pecking order (680xx) and generally just seemed to waffle on as usual.

No email tonight, no status change and, as far as i'm concerned, no Wii's shipped from Canada today.

No worries. I cancelled my order after that credit check crap.

How did you cancel? By email? Just about to do it just now.

Just thought I'd post that if anyone has a US Wii on the way and wants Zelda, it's only $52.99 delivered on Yes Asia. Seems pretty good considering the eBay prices!

I WAS 1693130 and ordered on the 21st September and was told I wouldn't get one at launch so I think you're on to plums for a few weeks mate.

Don't know anyone who's got one from DVDBO yet....

I'm just a bit ahead of you - ordered as soon as the email arrived (number 1692981) and I still haven't had mine sent out. Called them last week and they were expecting a shipment today...

[chopemon]

what was the dispatch time given when you ordered ? When I looked, it says 7-14 days and estimated arrival days before Christmas. Decided to hold off from ordering right now.

4 weeks between now and Chrimbo, id say its gonna happen hopefully next week if your lucky! Im #37 now so hopefully mine the week after, at the latest id say the one after that. Hopefully the quantity in shipments will get larger as its nearer to christmas.

[slowdiagonal]

i hope so, i dont think i could face christmas without zelda...

Your order has been updated to the following status.

New status: Wii Processing No Cancellations

Please reply to this email if you have any questions.

w00t!

I'm considering "confirmed to be shipping over the next few days" to be by Monday, next week, tho', so I'm not betting on having before the middle or end of next week.

Fook me... They must be getting naff all of Wii stock.
My confirmation E-mail arrived this morning and now I'm 15th and I was 30th before!
I can see UK one coming out before I get the US one!

One other thing. Do the US or Jap Wii's support RGB scart?
