UK Wii pre-orders Thread

Ah, such vaguery. Argos' position now seems to be that since I didn't receive a call of any nature, I must be getting one today. But no-one on the phone seems to be checking anything to confirm this, just assuming that because today is launch day I'm getting one. Gonna be a long day, I suspect...

Woolies just text me to say my Wii is awaiting collection in the local store.

Feck. YES!


Wii GET!

[djjimbob]

Woolies just sent me a text saying my Zelda was in store waiting for pickup.

No Wii.

Amazon have sent out my Classic controller and Nunchuck. Still waiting on Component and Wii Play.

Box-wanking FTW!

Argos just delivered!
Phew.
Local Gamestation has a Madcatz component cable anyone know if these will be inferior in any way to the official ones?

[TheBaron]

Just sauntered into Woolies shortly after opening, nabbed a Wii Play and Nunchuck: Half of their stock! They're now left with another Wii Play and a classic controller.

Waiting on my Wii from Amazon; which was dispatched eventually, and is now out for delivery at 7:33 from the local Depot.

Good luck to all those still hunting for Wiis!

Yes, 10x inferior to everyone still waiting.

Do you need two nunchucks for Wii Sports and Wii Play or will two Wiimotes just do?

Apart from one Wii Play game, it's all non-nunchuck I think; thought i'm not 100% sure.

Mine has just arrived from Woolies - get in!!!!

[ph0rce]

Well I've heard nothing from Woolworths so have resigned myself to not getting one for a while now, oh well, these things happen I suppose.

I actually got in the queue in Asda last night but only lasted 45 minutes before realising that I probably had better things to do with my time so I went home!

I hate waiting.

I took a day off work to ensure I was here when the delivery turned up but its an absolute nightmare; every time a car goes past I run to the window to check whether its a courier. A Parcel Force van pulled up a little while ago but it delivered something to the house next door. Arse.

neil2k: I may or may not receive a Wii from Argos today - which company delivered yours? Just wondering whether they're on the way to me.
