*cough*

SNES, Saturn, Xbox, your old PS2 and a 360.

Perhaps I'm just not one for gimmicks

 

ROFLOL I forgot about the PS2 you had off me!

I'm just for anything thats new..... regardless of how good or crap it maybe! I'm probably the idela customer!

 

had a call from argos yesturday confieming the delivery tomorrow

 

LMAO and I'll be here 2 years later to take them off your hands

 

Does that make you a retro gamer

I like the idea of keep fit while playing games ... maybe.

 

Just had occasion to pop out for a loaf of bread, etc. to the ASDA just round the corner from me...

...blummin' great queue of folk in the 'Entertainment' section all sadly queuing for a Wii. Overhearing one ASDA employee to another: "They were here from before 7... Should at least give 'em a few more chairs, poor things. Not exactly any professional people or office workers there though is there?"

You're telling me love.... Now, I know ASDA attracts the lower end of the socio-economic scale - but this lot all looked like they should be in a DHSS queue and not a queue to part with a couple of hundred quid each. Many of them would have done better to have spent a few quid (in ASDA) on some better clothes, and most a few more on a hair-cut or at least a bottle of shampoo and a bar of soap.

My £1.47 loaf of Organic bread and I made a hasty retreat - via the self-service checkout so as not to have to contend with more of the above, working there, pseudo-communicating with me at the checkout.

I think I'll go for a drive around tomorrow and see if I can find a Wii anyway... just for fun.

are they any good??? ive seen it advertised on tv but never really looked at it

 

Mine was despatched on Wednesday by GAME, will be here tomorrow (friday) - Did the same last year with my 360 - got two that day, one from Game and one from woolies. So if peopel have ordered online with woolies for thier Wii , dont worry they will get delivered if last year is anythign to go by

 

Nintendo have only shipped part of the promised stock of Wii Accessories to all retailers within the UK. Due to this, we have only received part of our allocation. We are led to believe by Nintendo that we will receive all stock in time for pre-Christmas delivery. Please accept our apologies for this delay




Console's here though

 

Shaun:

Nintendo issues mass global recall on Wii due to strangulation risk

 

Kbsub,

From what I understood they hadnt shipped any cables! I had my missus queuing at Woolworths this morning trying to get me one....... she aint happy with you!

The importer I use should be getting some US ones in of Tuesday, so I will ring then.... fingers crossed.

 

Don't blame me !! Just telling you what the Muppet's at Woolworth's told me , I only got the email from them today saying it wont be delivered today

I cant play with it till Christmas day anyway , bet you will be bored of it by then

 

kbsub,
Their website said the same thing about stock yesterday..... it even gave the option of Picking up In-Store. Dohhhhh!!!

I bet I would of played with it twice and stuck it back in the box by the time xmas day comes! lol

 

Apparently Gamestation are selling third party component cables and all stores have it in stock .









Don't quote me on this though

 

I dont know who the biggest numnuts is!!!

You for coming out with this garbage or me for taking notice and going in several Gamestation stores just!

 

well, we decided to buy one of these on ebay last night on a buy it now...and yes it was rather expensive.....BUT......its sooooooo worth it how much fun are the sports games....

can anyone recommend any of the other games?

 

Dont know.... I havent took it out of the box yet!

 

lol unless you have hours to spare dont do it.....we are totally addicted!!!!!

just going out to buy a couple more games.....

 

PMSL

I have just won a Component cable auction.... should get that Tuesday, so will hold off until then.

 

I take it they had no stock left then ? Quite a few people on AV forums have got them , And I was just passing information on
Ive ordered 2 but neither have turned up yet

 

As Neanderthal, I have owned a NES, SNES, N64, PS1, PS2 and now my 360.

I would say quite the opposite to your statement.

For me the Wii is not aimed at proper console gamers at all. Nintendo realise they lose the console war in every recent generation so they have targeted non gamers. The controller is definately a gimmick which, for me, I would be bored of in days. Also for the record I would be very surprised if Nintendo didnt finish 3rd on sales again this gen too.

 

Who cares what its aimed at ? From what I've read people of all ages up an down the country are having loads of fun with it . , Maybe Its not for some nerdy pixel peeping 18 year old , Its for everyone
As for it being a gimmick ,only time will tell , but at least its different

 

Different isnt always good.

 

Thats true, but considering how many they have shifted in 3 weeks........

 

Just seen some ads for a very cool sword fighting game. I'm bitten I'll be getting 1. My first ever games console!!!

 

Exactly my point^^^
