    I've been refreshing since quarter to and not once has it come up as stock yet. The last set of preorders were due to start at 9am but the website didnt release them till half past

    I managed to get legend of zelda into my basket, but the Wii was out of stock by the time the checkout page had loaded & it couldn't add it to my cart *cry*.
    Was hoping to get one since Play let me down with my pre-order.

    We cannot choose what we are.. but what are we but the sum of our choices?
