    Pre-ordered and got it.

    Well that's on behalf of my housemate. He pre-ordered from Game in Middlesbrough...but still waited outside in the cold/rain/wind for 5 hours just to make sure he was front of the queue...sad

    Pre-ordered from PCWorld and it never came, I'm not overly bothered since it was never guaranteed anyway. Still a shame

    Oh I am so jealous! Ordered from woolies as they guranateed delivery! But all I got was the extra nunchuck I ordered! Thanks woolie and werth you are both off my Christmas card list!

    However they have been quoted on bbcnews as saying that they have secured more from Nintendo and should fulfill all pre-orders by next Tuesday/Wednesday! So fingers crossed!

    Gotta say that the chances of people receiving their wii,and actually sparing the time away from it to come and vote in a poll on Hexus (boasting rights aside, and you'll have to excuse ctid, there's obviously something wrong with him) are pretty slim.

    I pre-ordered mine from play in sept but didn't get mine today, before I cancelled the order it was still showing 'awaiting stock'. Damn play! Ordered one from amazon this afternoon though, should be here on Monday, Tuesday latest.

    Annoying thing is Zelda and monkey ball will be here tomorrow.

    my pre-order (HMV) has yet to be filled! Most anoyingly i was told i'd get a launch one, then was told the truth last week.

    However, amazon today sold a lot at 3:something.

    Now i work on the trading floor, but today, two rows off us stopped working, browser windows on all screens (most people have 2+ monitors/computers at their workstation) hammering Amazon every 5 seconds with my "auto refresher" thing (45 seconds of c#!) and for an hour our team did nothing.

    We got 6 in total, and my boss was very happy, until he realised that the wasted hour was more than enough to buy Wiis at ebay price. But it was great fun.

    Problem is my One Click settings mean its on the way to the office, can i ring citylink and get them to change the address, i've got photo ID, documents with my work address on? I kinda embrassed myself infront of a security gaurd last night due to our staff xmas party. Lost my work ID so will have to blag way into building!

    you should of been outside, in the cold, where you belong.

    That said not sure how i'm going to pay for my Wii now, fell asleep on tube after a "team outing". Had to get a cab home, only to find left keys in the office. Cost me £60 in wasted fairs alone.

    The only thing wrong with me is that my Wii is for xmas! I'm itching to play it.
