Nintendo really dropped the ball on this one,been talking to people in england and in the u.s too and they are very scarce there aswell.I bought a D.S the last day instead as i think id be searching in vain for a Wii before christmas.You just know however that people will have them on eBay on christmas day like last year at double the price and just got them to rip people off.ok my bitter rant is over now.
Try www.komplett.ie. I ordered one there last week. Not sure if they have any left. It will cost you a little extra though.
Isn't this usually just spin, shere Smyths only take 100 names but get 5,000 consoles in 10 days before Christmas to cash in on all the parents thinking that they're Europes coolest mother/father?
This happens every year the company release stories about how you cant get them anywhere to create panic buying.
Playstation and xbox did the same thing every year yet walk into the shops and they have plenty of them.
Pre book it and they will have it by xmas.
i find it hard to believe nintendo are missing a trick here there are very good at marketing.
Definitly none left in the UK and Ireland....i work in Argos and we have been given a date in Dec for them coming back in to stores. Ireland will actually be getting a larger amount of them as in UK due to not being able to buy online here.
who cares only a 2nd generation console anyway, they wont be able to shift them next xmas!!:D
I dont really understand the wii , poor concole with novelty controllers buy a PS3 and a tennis racket way betterQuote:

I'll export them from Sweden if you want.
It'll cost you though. Im doing it for a friend of mine back home.
got one yesterday in HMV,
They have been getting them in once a week but as you can imagine they disapear just as quick as they arrive. One thing HMV should look at though is a one per customer quota. The flower women on Grafton street bought three of them so you know there's at last three in Dublin that are on ebay by now
Gamestop and Argos have stock on sale from 9am ThursdayQuote:

Be warned a number of the consoles that have been advertised as being available in Dublin and Ireland on the site are turning out to be fraudulent adds. I have heard of a least five cases where people have paid for the machine and have received nothing in return.
Just be very carefull before you buy, e-mail the seller etc
Check there feedback but also check what they bought/sold sometimes around this time of year they will set up 21 accounts. 1 sells something stupid for 1 cent then the other 20 leave good feedback. people just read that 20 people are happy with this seller and pay over the money.
Gamestop, Game etc get a new batch in every thursday up to xmas just go to the shop and put a deposit on it or buy from a real website ( play.com, play-asia.com amazon etc )
gamestop were on Newstalk this morning saying that they're getting deliveries every few days - basically as often as they can.
Is this a case then of
:ball:No
:ball:Wii
:ball:'Til Brooklyn?
Lads if you want to get your hands on one before Christmas get yourself onto
www.amazon.de
They have them in stock and are shipping within four days and all you need to but is a plug adaptor
Or if you're in Cork, just pop in to any Gamestop.
....or buy a REAL console!!.;)Quote:
