The Wii Shortage

[NeoNMD]

My local Game has had a batch of 10 last them all month. No-one wants them, they are giving away 2 free games of you're choice with it now...

Oh well.

Gamestation even has pre-owned ones for £30 cheaper sitting there.

They need to pass some of here. I know several states that have huge shortages even with getting several shipments. Besides family I know of a few friends who have also been looking for one for 6 months now and still hasn't gotten one. Then my Aunt looks for 2 weeks and is able to buy one as she just happened to catch a shipment at Wal-Mart just after midnight one night. There was non in the morning when we went. It is crazy how fast they sell in most cases but they are worth it. I ended up in line for more then 7 hours at the midnight launch for one. I was 2nd in line of more then 60 people (they only ended up with 22 systems to sell).

I was just in Wal Mart today (in Ft. Lauderdale) and they had 5-6 Wii's in stock. I wonder if they are still there now. I should have bought one and re-sold it when I got home.

My Wii order is done already!
Wow, didn't expect it to be this fast. One big "Hurrah!" for small web based companies.

Should be delivered to me in 2-3 days.

Did you pay retail?

Cool Mandril, we now have another Wii writer! :P

This is hilarious actually... I have been trying to get rid of mine desperately.

It has barely been used. Good condition. About 5 games. Wanna purchase it? I understand if you don't trust some guy from a forum post. If you decline this offer, I might be able to put it on ebay, and I will definitely link you.

And even if you say yes to this, I would have to ask my parents first. I'm sure we could manage something though. If you want pictures, pm me.

EDIT:
Just looked up, heh. Well my offer stands to other people who wish to get a good deal.

Post it in the marketplace, might get lucky

I did, but on top of that came the modchip + installation costs ;)
The modchip was £35 and installation £15, something along those lines...

The Wii should arrive any minute now, delivery service is hella fast in a small country like mine ^^

@Funcoot:
A bit too late for me now but you might as well make a topic in the marketplace subforum, like Pico said.
