When i was in gamestation on friday they said they were getting some in on monday or tuesday but were going to sell the as a bundle for about £399:mad: with 3 games(2 games and Wii sports wich is free with it any way) and another controller. Last summer i got mine from there and it was only £225 with 2 extra games and Wii play.

rcracer 03-12-2007 09:53 PM

How do you get on with power leads etc. I am currently working in Poland so I may be able to get one here, but worried about ending up paying well over the odds to get it to British spec.

Or is it not a problem?

Lee 04-12-2007 07:54 PM

As long as its the same region its not a problem, i assume poland will be the same, if its 230v then you will be sorted, just buy a plug adapter or swap the plug when you get home

super__dan 04-12-2007 08:46 PM

Fancy getting me one Rick???

Rick 04-12-2007 08:52 PM

I will have a look and see whats available. Will let you know.

Well I managed to buy a Wii last night with some freakisg good luck. 1 day listing BNIB off ebay from a guy who lived up the road from my misses, cash only.

So I played Wii sports last night and was completely rubbish at everything. Sarah beat me at Boxing, golf and bowling :D

ashleyb4 21-12-2007 01:11 PM

The ammount of people who are suprised they cant get a Wii a week before Christmas is amazing.

Northy 26-12-2007 04:02 PM

Cheers,

G - Mine is even better than I thought it was going to be, was bowling with my 64 year old mother and 85 year old Nan yesterday, the old dear got a spare on her first go!!! :)

I've only got Mario Galaxy so far but its so much fun to play using both the wiimote and nunchuck, totally different to anything else. To play any of the multiplayer games you'll need another wiimote (and possibly nunchuck) these are quite expensive and tricky to get hold of right now as are all the good games. Last sunday I went round every games shop in Leeds and no-where had Galaxy, Mario and Sonic Olympics of Driver. By sheer fluke my local Sainsburys has a Galaxy and only £29.97 = well happy!

I might take mine along to nationals, should be much fun!

My experisnce when looking at bundles was that they give you 1 good, 1 average and then dros so decided to just get it all individually, nut now they are actually in stock that might not be the case.

Accessories are cheap off ebay, 2 rechargable battery packs for wiimote and docking station was just over a tenner.

This is a good site for reviews and stuff

http://uk.gamespot.com/search.html?t...ype=all&qs=wii

To be honest it's future games I'm looking forward to, the ones designed specifically for the Wii are just coming out. But in next few months are new medal of honor, MARIO KART!!!! and something else I really wanted.

Just need a new Golden Eye!

DCM 26-12-2007 07:21 PM

muscle spray G.... and warmup excercises as my muscles are killing me after boxing and Tennis.... otherwise it is a fooking excelent games system!!

Northy 26-12-2007 07:23 PM

:p:p:p

Julie actually tried to get me one for Chrimbo, but failed. Never mind, I said we'd get one in the sales, but I guess they're not gonna knock even a penny off :(

DCM 26-12-2007 07:26 PM

they are exactly the same prie now as they were when they came out last year dude.
