i was lucky enough to get one today, looked on the wii stock site, and it said Argos had stock, but not in any local stores, my brother checked 5 minutes later, local store had stock, reserved it for in shop collection, picked it up, job done ! 2 seconds later the shop no longer had stock ! it seems pure luck if you can get one !

good luck with the search !

My other half has now ordered one from Dixons, thank you for the advice. The locator site seems to work well.

I cant believe these are still so sought after, i got one just before xmas, didnt like it so i did the right thing and sold it for my money back, not to make a profit.

I can understand completely why these are so sought after .............. Gaming with friends round!!!

Whenever my mates come round; aged from 20 to 45+; out comes the Wii along with a few beers and hilarity ensues!! Alot of games on the Wii like Wii Sports, Wii Play, Rayman, Party games on Sonic, and even Barnyard are just plain fun and great for social fun. To me that is what the Wii is all about.

For intense game playing on my own I use my 360 for stuff like Lost Plant, Gears Of war and Ghost Recon etc.

Each system is completly different and aimed at very different markets. After playing on mine a couple of my mates are after getting one for the same reason
