    Yep, Game or Gamestation for me (if i decide to get one at launch). I love play.com but even if they do get enough systems in they will probably arrive a few days after the launch.

    If I do decide to get one at launch me and my mate will be camping outside GAME! Dunno if I will now though, what with the higher than expected price.

    I'll be getting mine from GAME too. I just like to know I can have my hands on one at launch rather then hoping it'll arrive on time.

    I'll never trust Play for pre-orders again after the hastle they've given me with various products... Never seem to stock up properly, or give you any idea what's going on.

    This one from Play includes Wii sports? I thought that didn't come with the UK version.

    Anyway I still think its a bit overpriced, I'm still of the opinion you can only wave your arms around for so long without it aching. Great for pickup and play, poor for games with longitivity I reckon.

    Im new here after just browsing the forums for a while. Ive had bad experiences with Play and pre-orders, my game once got delayed by 2weeks before I actually got it! Ill be waiting for other companies to offer preorders.

    "Wii is set to revolutionise the face of gaming when it launches in Europe on 8th December 2006 at an estimated retail price of 249 Euros (£179 in the UK), bundled with Wii Sports." Quoted from Nintendo UK.

    I wouldn't pre-order from play.com. Being based in Jersey there is no way it will arrive on release day.

    That is complete and utter rubbish.

    Play.com ship new release EARLY so you get them on release day - I haven't had a single Xbox 360 release NOT arrive on or before release date.

    Thats not really fair Matt. I have pre ordered several games in the past from play and they havnt arrived on release date. The fact that they took far more pre orders than they could ever fulfill for 360's doesnt bode well for those pre ordering a Wii either. I use play a lot, like many people here but if i choose to get a Wii on day 1 it'l be ordered from Game/Gamestation or Gameplay
