    Pre-order Wii Now

    Just got an email from Game saying you can now pre-order your Wii console.

    £20 deposit but that dosnt garantee you one. If your in pos 51 in the list and the shop only gets 50 in then you prob wont get one.

    Unless GAME have changed their pre-order policy (im pretty sure they aint), then if you put a deposit down, you will get one.

    Shop floor staff dont have incoming stock information, so he is talking BS mate. If you want one on day of release, pre-order it.

    I read the briefing memo yesterday about it

    Since we dont have stock levels yet when they come in they'll be going straight to ppl on the preorder deposit lists. If theres any left after that (we took more than 30 deposits in 2days iirc) then they'll go to ppl who just walk in.

    I think there will be enough aswell even with the amount of orders we'r taking atm as I hope Nintendo have learned from everyones mistakes about the demand.

    Only been gone just over a month and GAME are already changing big time.
    Little point in a pre-order if no guarantee IMO. Suppose its better than nothing, but still not impressed.

    That really is poor £20 down and ure not even sure to get one. So if your unlucky and you dont get one, what happens to that £20??? Gets put towards a game or vouchers or something?? Think id rather just wait my self

    Permanently confused

    It's the same system as when I pre-ordered a PS2, you're sure it was different inbetween? .

    i went into game last week, and the guy said they're not taking pre-orders til they know how many they're getting, so i would presume that once they've exceeded this, they'll no longer be taking pre-orders??

    Well, I've preordered mine. I'm number 6... But I also work at Game, so

    Basically, the deal is, that yes, its a £20 deposit, but unlike the website, stores won't take excessive pre-orders, so (like the X360 launch), you're more likely to get one in-store than on the website.
    Game is well in with Ninty at the moment, so i'm sure out of all the high-street game stores, we'll get the most allocations of units
    Diablo (Main PC): Corsair Air 540; Gigabyte Z77-D3H; i5 3570k @ 4.4Ghz; 16Gb Corsair Vengeance PC3-12000; 120Gb Samsung 840 EVO; EVGA 980 Ti Hybrid; 2x Dell U2414H; Windows 10 x64.

    Yup.
    You pre-ordered a PSP/DS/DS lite/360 with a deposit, and you got one.

    apparently, thats what my mate said as he has preordered one before me, he's order 16 at the other store in glasgow. Im considering getting a new NUS card for this reason, plus the fact that more and more stores are now looking at NUS cards, rather than student ID.
