| Re: Where the hell can I get a Wii? The best bet is going into places like Gamestation & G-force every morning and asking. The guy in g-force gets in like 1 every couple of days but its usually sold by 12pm. persistance is the key. |

| Re: Where the hell can I get a Wii? I got mine from Gamestation on Sauchiehall Street - just head into town reasonably early and try a few places. I could have got one in Game but chose not to cos they were only offering it with an insurance/warranty deal (I forget which) but the Game in Debenhams might be a good place to try - they always seem to have stuff in stock cos very few people know they're there.

| Re: Where the hell can I get a Wii? Can’t believe they’re still in short supply. Sort yourselves out Nintendo.

| Re: Where the hell can I get a Wii? They were in decent supply and could be got fairly easily. I had no money then.
I now have money, but Christmas is approaching, so supplies are scarce again. |

| Re: Where the hell can I get a Wii? I saw about four second hand wiis in gamestation a week or so ago, so I guess they do turn up.

| Re: Where the hell can I get a Wii? Aye, but because supplies of new ones are still a bit scarce, second-hand units go for almost full price.

| Re: Where the hell can I get a Wii? Still cannot belive I got one 3 days before Christmas last year, completely out of the blue. You just need a Morrison's hook-up like I had.

| Re: Where the hell can I get a Wii? I got mine from my work, just ordered it and got it 2 days later, but there again i do work for them and got a deal
Best place to try is places like gamestation and game, they are usually getting some in every 2-3 days.
But dont try anywhere like comet, currys, pc world etc they usually have a backlog of waiting customers and you could be waiting a good 3-4 weeks |

| Re: Where the hell can I get a Wii? Phone up every GAME store that you can reach at 9 am in the morning until they get them in.
If you phone up, you can probably get them held by for that day...if they are comming in. |
