Anywhere with a wii in stock. They are sold out everywhere here in the us. If I get one from the uk and ship it over can I unlock it for us games ?
A local computer shop here claims to be getting some in on 10th Decemeber, £300 for the basic package! :o
wouldnt bother.. they are sh*t.
Got mine chipped & theres about 2 games worth having. Mario Galaxy & Zelda
Im not interested in your opinion of the console or I would have said, "Tell me your thoughts on the Wii". No I said "Where can I get one". So thanks anyway.

Theyre like $600 here too, so forget it.

pwnt.
There are stores knocking around with them in stock. I just sold mine a couple of weeks ago. I bought it for £180 about 4 months ago and just sold it for £404 with one game and an extra controller. They are not selling nowhere near as much now, due to inconsistent supply. Bought a 360 with the profits .... and am very happy. Tried Argos?
wiis aint multi region
Get yourself a nintendo DS - they are multi region

They arent going for too much over RRP on ebay TBH.

Even modified at this point in time,
some, but not all US games will work :(

Indeed, if you time it right, late night for example Ive seen them going for £210.
I cant imagine them staying this low on the runup to Christmas.
Even lunch time today they were around that as well. I have just been looking, as if I found one out shopping (probably wont), I was going to wack it on ebay, but its not worth it for the money tbh.
Your a mug if you pay over RRP.
even last year when they first came out, I didnt pre-order nor did I pay over the odds, My brother had one from game about a week before xmas for £179.
Paying over £200 is ridiculous. Buy a 360 ffs!
Got to admit, I got one when they were supposidly all out of stock.
But paying just over RRP isnt too bad TBH if you really want one. Dont see how you can say get a 360 though, as they are totally different consoles. Plus, Sam has asked about Wiis ;) lol
Amazon literally now have stock, in and out like crazy, keep trying should work.

Ive just been watching ebay for a couple of minutes, they are going for like $450 which is about £225.
I may be behaving quite thick here but what exactly are they selling out for, I thought they had been out for aaaaaaaaaaages and as such stocks should be plentiful?
Why has the world gone mad for them (I thought the Xbox360 was the daddy these days)?

I think the Wii appeals to people (myself included) who havent really bothered with consoles in the past. (Why would I buy a 360 or PS3 if Ive got a PC that does the same job?) The control system is so unique that its a real "play it with your mates" type of console, and everyone who has been around has had an absolute blast. I havent had so much fun with a games console since Mario Kart on the SNES.

Xbox certainly isnt the daddy as far as sales go, the Wii is outselling everything on the market ATM. They cant make enough of them in the run up to Christmas and stocks were low anyway so the result is a dire shortage. Expect this to continue to Christmas at least.
its a great way of ensuring 100% of your product is sold imo.

It is indeed, its just driving up demand. Every time you go into GAME or gamestation or Virgin or any of the high street stores there is always someone gesticulating frantically to an employee who has to keep telling people they dont have any Wiis in stock.

Like Chris H says, I would never buy a console for games like call of duty. Normal games are just better on a PC.
What I want a wii for is that its a party game, your mates come round and you drink beer and act like a tit with the controller. Its great fun.

No question in this tbh
FPS and RPG and MMO are best on pc, always will be tbh, 3rdperson, driving games and all the others like mass effect etc work well on consoles and that is fine
Bar halo I cant see how people play fps on consoles, I played cod4 demos on both formats and the pc is just a lot better in terms of feel

Basically what I have been saying too. Providing you have the right controllers the PC is best for most things. Unfortunately the Wii controllers are something completely different and allow people to use them in totally new ways. You also dont need a lan for multiple users. For a party game the Wii will win every time and the free Wii sports is probably the killer game. Worth getting one for this alone. Although I have managed to resist it so far.
