    Game UK - Finally Wii on it's way.

    I called Game last week regarding my Wii Pre-order. The person i spoke to said today they were receiving a large shipment and my order would more than likely be on that list.

    So i call up today as the money has been taken from my account but i've have no confirmation dispatch email. The person i spoke to said that thebank had verified the funds were there but the money wasn't actually taken. (Fair enough) But i then asked when i would be getting it and she said i might not receive it before xmas. (Not happy) so i told her what i was told last week from the 1st Game agent and she said there was nothing she could do. She also said that the next batch would have to cover in store pre-orders and she didn't know what was going to happen to the online orders! So i kick up a fuss and told her than it's not professional telling me on Friday that my pre-order would meet their next allocation and then telling me something different the next week. ( so she goes away and comes back saying.....) My order is at the 2nd to last stage and they have received their shipment from Nintendo plus i should expect to receive a dispatch notice today or tomorrow! (happy bunny as the email just come through)

    Bottom line......won't be pre ordering a PS3 (if i get one) from Game.....i'll go to Gamestation next time!

    Thought i'd share my experience with you.

    my girlfriend walked into game this morning about 10 o'clock and picked a wii straight up with no pre order!

    so then she went next door to gamestation and got the £20 deposit back on the pre ordered one!

    they only had 12 delivered to the game store but said they should be getting some nearly every day now!

    I am extremely tempted to go up to game tomorrow and try to pick one up. Can I really justify spending 180 quid on another console though?

    game is a confidence-trickster business (like pc world)

    gamestation has some passion behind it (as evidenced by the preowned NES games)

    Your in the same boat as me fella. I really want one but I've already got the 360, my room is tiny with enough electronics in it and ill be 180 quid down...

    ...but chances are knowing me ill have one before the years out.
