    Help. Got 2 Wii pre-orders, which to cancel...

    Hi.
    Ive got 2 pre-orders on a Wii at the moment. Both made today.
    One is with Gameplay, which although the help support when i rang said that i wouldnt get one on launch day, has a label on the order on the 'my account' that says it'll be dispatched between the 6-7th of December. Which given Gameplays delivery track record, would indicate that i would get it on launch day.
    And one i made a minute ago with Woolworths, which regardless guarantees me a console within the first week of release, but has 1-3 days delivery.

    The gameplay one sounds better to me, but with the bloke who i spoke to saying that i wouldnt get one on launch day, but instead sometime late december, and the gameplay website saying i'd get it launch day, im a little confused.

    Ideas?

    Unfortunatelly, im not made of money, so i cant afford to get 2 Wii's.

    I phoned Gameplay, and as usual, the extremely helpful people there confirmed that all pre-orders will appear as having those dates, and due the amount of pre-orders they have taken, its extremely unlikely that i'd get one this side of christmas. So i asked the bloke to cancel the order.

    So now i have my order with Woolworths online, where im guaranteed the Wii within the first week of launch.

    Thanks anyway though.
