    No Wii's left in Ireland.

    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?
    City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.

    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.

    great craic after a night on the beer, its not about the graphics. Had many after session sessions in recent months and always great fun. We played wii sports last friday night as a drinking game with the loser drinkin a shot of vodka !!!

    They were sold out like this last year as well.
    Ignore Max Power, he is no more, the future is Ron Burgundy. I'd love to be Ron Burgundy but they won't let me........

    I'll export them from Sweden if you want.

    It'll cost you though. Im doing it for a friend of mine back home.
    I think I should the parachute, because I'm great.

    In fact, I think I should get both parachutes, in case one doesn't work.

    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

    For anybody looking for a Wii from Ebay.

    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.
    If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.

    Wii

    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

    Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

    friend has one, barely plays it, the novelty of swinging the controller for the sports games wore out after about 1 minute when he gave me ago
    There's the right way, the wrong way.... and the Max Power way!! :-D
