    Damn Play.com

    I was one of the unlucky people not to get a Wii on launch, ordered mine from Play on the 1st Oct.

    Kept the order in the hope that with all the people cancelling their orders from Play that I would be first in queue when the second wave comes (hopefully) before Xmas. .. What I didn't count on (or think about) was the items I'd ordered with the Wii... they've posted me the Mini Games & Remote, Nunchuck and a game. Arrived this morning. Gah. How depressing.

    *sits and stares at everything, but, a Wii*

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

    It seems everywhere is still waiting for stock to fulfill Wii pre-orders. So no luck for the people like me who want one but did not pre-order

    If you had ordered far earlier you might have been one of the lucky people, the later you leave it generally the later you will get it

    That is just annoying! Surely you should have got one if you pre-ordered so far before the launch?!

    They should have made more... surely they would have made more £££, doesnt seem right to me.

    You ought to have ordered a 360 in march last year to end up with one in march this year, that certainly is annoying

    Its a shame that business isn't that simple. I would go through it all but I have already done it a couple of times.

    Basically you can only buy as many components as people make and then you can only assemble it in a certain amount of compatible factory space before its becomes unsuitably expensive. Don't forget that all the people supplying components to the Wii have other business to support too.

    A friend in work pre-ordered one from Game (store, not online) and one from Play.com.

    Play emailed him a week before launch saying it would be a few days late, then again on the 7th saying he probably wouldn't get it for Christmas.

    I tried to grab one when they appeared on amazon, but my boss decided to come over and ask me questions at the exact same time they went on sale. When she walked away, I refreshed the page and saw they had all gone

    I suppose my luck with the 360 didn't last.

    I've asked the local GAME to pop over to my workplace (literally 2 doors down!) when they get their next delivery so wait anxiously for that phone call from me.................
