    I don't think I can afford one with my November wages so hopefully by the time I get my December pay there will be more availability...

    love to see who gets there first on Amazon.
    Rumour says that their business day is midnight.
    Customer services told me 9am.
    Well, chances of me being awake at midnight are low 'cos of long day and wine.
    Will try at 6am - so you guys, please leave one for me if the gates do open at the witching hour

    Well, I got my PSP the Christmas after they came out - they were still fairly hard to get one back then but I managed to get one in the first shop I went into.

    So... if you want a Wii with no hassle then just wait a week or two after the release and you should get one fairly easily
