Default WII - who has them for sale NOT Ebay

Anyone know of any normal stores, preferably in the south east that have the Nintendo WII in stock?
Mates after picking one up but we've both scoured the net and no-one seems to have them in stock.
The local suspects, Argos, Tesco, Game etc.. don't have any either.

Any suggestions other than Ebay?

Thats the problem, loads of places say they have them in stock but when you phone or go down there they've mysteriously just run out

Click on the 'buy' button directly under the £179.99 and it goes into your basket @ £179.99, I have just added 2, no problem, checkout price @ 179.99.

Yep, also hail-hail's advice - thanks.
Keep em coming, although looking at the prices on ebay i'd say this shortage may be around for sometime.
What kind of lunatics are paying £300 for a £180 console?

I have to say I'm astounded that they continue to be in short supply almost a year after release. Especially as the reviews of the subsequent games have been so-so.

Asda and HMV in York have them. They are in bundles though, cheapest being £180 with Harry Potter, which is the price anyway.

Local Woolworths? Not the first port of call for most people, so you may be lucky. I was six months ago when everywhere else was out.

They're just damn good machines and a steal at £180. Not all games are so-so, granted theres plenty of pants but some good titles in there too. In a social environment with friends and a few beers its unparalleled (IMHO).

Thanks again mate but if you click to buy any of those bundles it just says they are sold out, try again later.

Am going to do an early morning drive by of the local stores tomorrow as a few of them said they were getting sporadic deliveries of the odd one or two now and again.

I work for a distribution company contracted to a major high steet catalogue store, the depot I work at in the midlands has 11 lorry loads from Nintendo arriving this Sunday, they should be instore late next week.

I want one, and was asking why they were all out of stock.

Forget the Wii, I want a Chintendo VII. Bigger, better photos of the Vii, the cheaper, crappier Wii - Engadget
