Cool Any chance of getting a Wii at something like the std price??

Hi all,

I would like to buy a Wii as a gift, but I don't want to pay the £280-350 that some retailers are asking for the sports pack.

Does anyone know where I might be able to pick one up: I'd even go for a second hand one, providing it's in excellent condition and is priced realistically.

Thanks for any help offered.

I used the above to get one from HMV at the proper price. You just need to leave it open and it will pop up telling you when something is in stock.
Two others are :
Wii Stock .co.uk - Find Nintendo Wii In Stock Now - Wii Updates, Wii Locator
Compare Wii Prices - Console Only

If anyone needs to know the PS3 locator at this site is woefully out of date, no one has 60GB in stock which in contrary to their site.

Anyone know if they will produce anymore 60Gb's ?

I thought that was the case but some sites are saying back in stock on certain dates, all after Christmas, probably BS


Brun PM me if it comes to that
