Peter P Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Hey Guys and Girls, Know this is like asking for a needle in the preverbal haystack but my stepson who's autistic is desperately after a Nintendo Wii for Christmas. As no doubt everyone knows these are like golddust which makes no sense as Nintendo must be losing millions at the moment as nowhere has any. If you can offer a lead or know where I can get one for the retail price not the doubled up ones on ebay, let me know via PM please. If you're out at the shops and see one please grab it and i'll pay you via bank transfer or even on collection as we really need to get this to make his Christmas. My mobile is: 07734 994867 if you have any luck! Cheers all. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 i will have a look in central london for you tomorrow mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter P Posted November 24, 2007 Author Share Posted November 24, 2007 Ideally looking for a UK supplied one so we don't need the plug converter and the warranty is valid without question. Might consider it as a last resort although some less criminal offers on ebay for them! All comments/suggestions/searches greatly appreciated!

Robert Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Im going to woolworths now mate, did you want a bundle or just the console incase they have one in stock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil tt Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 It is crazy that they have been out over a year and you sill have trouble buying them:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRalphMan Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I think Game have the large bundles in stock, but they are £300+, normal console should be around the £170 mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 normal console should be around the £170 mark. Depends on the kit. I don't think that kit comes with a nunchuck. I know people that have them but will only sell them on eBay as they know they'll get £260+ for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 the basic kit comes with 1 contoller including nun chuck.... unless they have changed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrRalphMan Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Cool, hope you get one of em... Just been around the shops and nothing here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 go online to ebay germany not normal ebay, they have loads cheap I've been told that they're identical, as we don't actually have a UK only version, its a European one with a 3 pin plug. If you can get one from Amazon Germany, then the warranty etc is still valid over here. I gt mine through http://www.sendit.com for £180 delivered, about 4 weeks ago. Good luck with your search.

Rollin_Thunder Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 i used to have a website that would email once it found stock, but i have just got my laptop back after repairs & have lost all of my cool & useful random bookmarks might have been Wii locator or Wii find.... i will ask about & re-post if i find the link you will be lucky if you can find one tbh, as most ppl now are just sharking them for stupid prices, try Big W (woolworths) they were pretty good in helping me find 2 of them local as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter P Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 Thanks for all the help and advice guys, as usual this forum has proved to be worthwhile and not just for Supra stuff! I'm waiting to hear back from Coldflame who has a PM and will wait to hear back on any other useful links/suggestions anyone has in the meantime. Hopefully one of these will produce the goods as being the first Christmas with us as a family I hardly want to be the guy who failed to get him what he wants! Reminds me of that Arnie film with the turboman doll!!!! Never ceases to amaze me how this manufacturers fail to cater for demand despite the huge amount of money they are losing every minute! Thanks and i'll keep you all posted if we have any luck. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sign up and they'll let you know when someone has stock. Unfortunately, recently the stock goes out before their website gets updated! Put your name down at Blockbuster Video store.

Think the other half is signed up for the notification when stock arrives at a retailer but as you say, you then log straight in and they're out of stock! Will look into the Blockbuster lead though!
